It is one of my favorite TV series right now. The story line is quite hearth touching and focusses man's disadvantaged life with a uncommon job. Musics at the end of each part too emotional paralel with the how harsh the situation. Each part follows a self development for the main character name is "Baki" and the way of the path such a unique for Turkish TV series that is also touches people hearth. Background sounds are too crystal clear also used to help you that emotional feelings with. I want to thank you to TABII and TRT to stream such a unforgettable TV series. I am very interested to see 2nd and even 3rd seasons of this TV series.
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.

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 Perfect dark comedy mixed with loneliness and sadness.
The Gassal is very popular in Turkey now.
While watching the series, you constantly question life and death. The value judgments of society and the roles and expectations it assigns to you are truly the reality of life.
You may find something from yourself while watching it. A sad black humor.
After always seeing Ahmet Kural in comedy movies, it feels very different to see her in such a series and character.
Ahmet Kural did Perfect job and the supporting actors / actress was really good. Director Selçuk Aydemir was good.
Now I'm looking forward to the next season. I hope they continue in the same vein.

I am a busy man don't have too much time for serials but I wanted to see the first episode as the subject of the serial is unique ,then I have finished all episodes in 6 hours consecutively. Although I have predicted the end of season ,very interesting stuff and you can't stop watching. If you will watch prepare your self to go with the flow. In the in beginning of the serial you may think it is a comedy. But when you proceed you understand that it is a very strong drama. Ahmet Kural is magnificent with his acting. He is well known with his comedian part but he proves his level of acting. The script is unique, original and then includes legendary phrases as "deaths have plenty of time living are always in hurry".
