      PLEASE FINISH THE SERIES!

      This series started airing before I was born and even though it is 2025 and has 17 seasons, it still hasn't ended.

      It is obvious why they didn't finish it. Money I don't know about the first seasons of the series, but the seasons after 2020 started to become repetitive. Each season is almost the same as the other. The production is in God's hands anyway. They should have finished the series around 2015 or 2017. In this way, small series telling the story of each character could have been made, but at that time, there were no spin-off-like series or mini-series productions in the Turkish series industry. I will give 4 points just for the sake of the series, otherwise it would be a 2 point or even 0 point series.

      Used to be OK but not anymore!

      A neverending tale which should have concluded long ago even though they had to chance to do so! It's quite obvious that the producers have been fully using the advantage of the acting skills of the 2-3 pivotal leading actors' till the bone.

      Along with the disgusting camera angles, poor acting skills of the minor roles (which decrease the attention of the viewers), bad jokes, the script is simply suffering since the last couple of years which makes it hard to continue the series. It's unfortunate that the show evolved into a waste of time because of the producers' greed and so fear of losing the profit.

      In case you might want to watch against all odds, then my advice would only cover the first 3-4 seasons.

      Legend

      Turkey's legendary series. If you started you can not quit. gripping. yes there are some logic errors but okay.

      It's just nothing,boring.Better TV series only last like 30 episodes but this is 15 seasons nothing new always the same thing.

      Waste of time the actors aren't even that good, boring.

      Terrible

      Acting is very bad, the script is always the same, nothing is different. Camera angles are awful. So, everything is very poor.
