    The Story is completed

    From the beginning of the series, the processing of the characters was transferred in depth, although it was passed quickly. I think the stories of all the characters in the series are complete. Season 2 will only harm this beauty. Sometimes beautiful things have to end in order to remain beautiful forever. If we analyse the character of Ahmet Kural, I guess everyone who suffers from loneliness has found a piece of themselves. People think that they live in a film in which their own life plays the leading role. Maybe that's why they always think that they will get rid of monotony, unhappiness and loneliness. There is a very beautiful saying that some people come to life only to suffer.

    Best tv show ever

    Best tv show i have ever watched. First 10 minutes you laugh every second. Last 10 minutes you cry every second. It is very emotional and touches your heart. Gassal means in islam when you die before they put the body under the ground a washer cleans the body and prepare for the funeral. All actors especialy Ahmet Kural put a very undisputed performance. Also the songs are amazing and matches the emotional scenes. The episodes are thirty minutes long. I finished the first season in one day and willing to watch season 2. Finally who has involved such an amazing show congratulations from my heart.

    A Different Yet Flawed Drama

    I watched Gassal from start to finish. It was good, dramatic, and occasionally funny. However, there were repetitive scenes that felt unnecessary and too long at times. Additionally, the episode titles and images often gave away the ending. For instance, it wasn't hard to predict the final scene of the last episode. When they hinted at a very sad ending, it became obvious. Thankfully, the ending wasn't as dramatic as I expected.

    The series felt a bit overrated. Episode 3 was terrible, and some episodes were mediocre. However, episodes 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 were good. Overall, I'd rate it a 7/10 because the concept, while unique, didn't feel like something that could be significantly expanded. The stories were well-crafted, but there were many repetitive scenes that didn't add any humor or depth.

    Ahmet Kural's performance was excellent, but most of the supporting characters were mediocre. The song "Icim Yanar" at the end really touched me; its harmony with the ending was perfect. I also liked the images at the beginning of the episodes and the opening theme song. However, despite the short duration of the series, there were too many music transitions.

    I only pushed through because I was curious about the ending. Otherwise, episodes 2, 3, and 4 had some painfully boring scenes that I struggled to get through. Sensitive viewers might find this series deeply emotional and dramatic. When I think of everything that happened to Baki as a whole, I feel sad.

    In conclusion, I'd give this series a 7/10. I can't rate it lower because it's different and intriguing in its own way.

    Great show

    This is a mix of both great subtle comedy and heartfelt drama. Ahmet Kural is a great actor. Show does everything warms your heart, makes you smile and cry. I hope they don't spoil it by making a second season. The music is great. I would buy the album if they ever made one that contains those songs. Selçuk Aydemir is beyond a just comedy director. I can not remember when last time a show touched my heart. Scenes are so unique and has a vintage feeling to it. Drapes in Baki's house are straight from the 80's. The town that they are living in is a such warm place, i would live there. This is a kind of show that you buy subscription for.

    A successful work straight from life!

    The production we watched is far from flashy scenes and offers emotional and enjoyable moments from real life.

    Were there boring scenes? Yes. But giving this a 1-star rating makes me question people's sanity or integrity.

    The ones giving it 1 star are Turks with an inferiority complex.

    At some points, the series spoils itself even before it begins, and someone in the comments didn't like that!

    The series is set in a gloomy atmosphere, with death as its main theme, but they've brightened it with family, love, children, and a variety of emotional transitions.

    If shot in Europe, it would've been a Golden Globe nominee.

    Enjoy watching.
