First of all, this movie is not a Fleabag parody. This is more like a Persuasion (2022) parody. I want to start by why I've given 10/10 to this series. Is it because it is 10/10? Hell noooo. But does Bihter deserve the hate it gets? Even bigger no.
People solely hate Bihter because of the 2008 Turkish tv series Ask-i Memnu. The tv series receiving the love they get is really interesting, it is one that exceeds the limits of actors, production, tv. People love it so much that they even got another shows (talk shows, movies etc) lead by original leads, one being a 2023 netflix movie (Last Call to Istanbul). But it also makes it really dangerous to have another adaptations. 2008 version was where they adapted the original novel to modern day Turkiye, may be the reason people felt really attached to it. Whereaes Bihter takes place in the 1920's, a bit closer to the original timeline.
Bihter here is a sassy character. She does get affected by other people and events but she doesnt get desperate or mad, she does turn kinda madder compared to the beginning. Which is not a big change to the character from novels as she was not a weak person. Her style of interacting with audience is more like how Anne (of Persuasion 2022 - ugh that, that was a disaster as she was no where near the character of Anne but that is a conversation of another topic) interacts. She doesnt treat audience as people in her mind, or friends like Fleabag does. She treats them as people following from another perspective, exactly as 4th invisible wall of the theater where people view behind. So yes, she knows we are watching and she explains things we didn't or will never be able to see, or hear. And she doesnt behave different than Bihter of the original book would in the given situations.
Therefore, fans of the TV Show, which there are sooooo many people, were not gonna like this one no matter how it turned out to be. Only solution for them to like is new adaptations where same actors portraying same characters.
As for Bihter, costumes are really chic, sets are really appealing to the eye, actors are fine, even though I didn't think Boran Kuzum would fit as Behlul, he was surprisingly nice. Other actors such as Osman Sonant (Adnan) Helin Kandemir (Nihal) or Ebru Ozkan (Matmazel) were also nice picks. Only one I could criticize would be Hande Ataizi as Firdevs but she doesn't stick out badly. And of course, Farah Zeynep is quite beautiful and chic as Bihter.
The adaptation sometimes felt like a play, but it still deserves at least 6 or 7 out of 10 overall. But I gave 10/10 just because of the unnecessary hate and critisms it received, hoping it could affect its score juuust a little.
