Gassal

In my opinion, it was a series with a different perspective when looking at the history of Turkish series. We watched situations that were far from clichés. I only deducted 2 points. The musical elements were what bothered me the most. There are so many musicals that almost half of the movie is spent with clips. Other than that, a few episodes were very boring. The events are dragged on too long. It started to get even more boring after the second episode. These negativities are things that can happen in any series. It makes us Turks happy to see such things. Ahmet Kural is perfect for the lead role. I don't think anyone else could have portrayed the character of Baki so well. An extraordinary Turkish production that should be watched.

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".

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.

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.
