That Netflix put this on shows how the quality has dropped even further. This film is just garbage. Was this director under influence or something making this. And anyone who takes acting seriously wouldn't want to be part of this.
Living outside Turkey, I love watching Turkish series and films. Even when there not so good. However after reading the reviews and seeing a lot of high ratings I couldn't resist to leave a review.
I understand, it's a fantasy serie and nothing about the show is realistic. The more you have to make the dialogue realistic and acting of course, to draw me in as a viewer.
I was already confused by the first scene. The lead actress comes in late for work and is criticized by her manager in a way that I think "why is she still working there, if this was real life Istanbul she was fired ages ago". And then the dialogue, it really irritates me, it's very informal, too informal. When working in a professional setting and just have met the person you are interviewing you don't talk to each other like you have been friends since kindergarten. If you don't understand Turkish you can't be bothered but if you can, it feels very unnatural. I looked at the scenario writers and saw one Turkish name Can Cengiz. A young scenario writer who primarily writes for children and children shows....so if the dialogue is written by a this person it would explain a lot.
It's very hard to turn a good written scenario into a bad product and an excellent director to turn a bad written one into a good product. Just judge for yourself but I'm not impressed.

I've never written a review before despite reading them often. I started this series and half way through (after episode 2) looked it up on IMDb. Reading the contradicting reviews I decided to make my own mind up. All the comments on acting and dialogue aside towards the end of episode 3 I thought WTF! That's when I decided to rate this a 2. Started episode 4 to see how they are going to wrap it up but for me it already crashed....
