It started well and promised a lot, but very little was delivered. Dialogue was very bad in many parts and it was frustrating watching actors doing and saying things over and over again, it was very repetitive. By episode 5, I knew the show would have a bad and boring ending and I was not wrong. I love Kerem Bursin, he is a great actor, but still there were moments that I felt that all the good ideas were gone and actors were forced to improvise. Pacing got so slow after episode 5 that I was very tempted to play fast forward several times during the last 4 episodes... The tribe of good guys, was so annoying, their acting was terrible, I reached to a point, that I was desperately waiting for a blood bath their blood. Not to mention that there were many plot holes that were not satisfied. However, if you're a fan of vampire movies, and if you need to watch them all, give this a try, the series has some good moments that may have saved the show partially.

Yeap, dispite the potentially interesting story setting and a backdrop of east-meets-west Istanbul, every character in the series is a plot hole. EVERYONE! I can see the main actors n actress have done well to portrait their characters, but simply put, none of the characters make sense there. The final twist even made me laugh. Female vengeance should be much, much deeper in description.
Come to my senses, it doesn't look like a compelling battle between humans n vams. It's pretty much just a gang fight between 2 underground nightclubs.

I found it boring. I watched up to 3rd or 4th episode and bailed. The big baddie was too juvenile and cocky to make a credible bad guy. Some redeeming qualities include the well played character who was enamoured of vampires. I got a bit tired of the punk trope for the good guys, but I get that it's part of the down trodden neighbourhood. I did not find i worthwhile because the series was taking too much time not only moving the understandable parts of the story along, but also filling in the back story with explanation rather than filler.

I love Kerem Bürsin and he played a very appealing vampire. It's the first non drama Turkish series I've watched and I believe that it has a lot of potential. It was a bit boring and the ending was bad. The show is called Immortals but in the end the immortals are killed, it doesn't make sense. I would love to see Mia (Elçin Sangu) bring Dmitry back to life. More CGI, I mean it is a show about vampires. Honestly I only finished watching the show because of Kerem. His Alpha Male character was on point but I don't get the storyline. Even though the chemistry was there, there was very little action.

If you like The Protector or want a similar tone of a fierce group traversing through Istanbul on a quest for something...check it out!
It starts off slow, picks up a little bit then leaves you wanting to know so much more that it doesn't deliver! Huge disappointment but an enjoyable journey. Sure, the women are probably unrealistically beautiful but they add to the sexiness of a modern interpretation of vampires that you find these days, no big deal. Pure, sexy, evil ones just out to get the job done, no extra sparkles or heavy romance.
One particular feature you'll notice is that the show almost entirely showcases Istanbul at night...the grungy, trashy underworld of alleys, thugs and no tourist sights. However Americanized or inauthentic it seems to be, it's a depiction that really shines through the darkness, so to speak, and fuels the vengeful vibe of the plot.
I'm always drawn to a stylized story, flaws and all, with hotties on a hunt. Check it out if you want the usual bloodiness and a cultural twist on a vampire tale. Plus, if you speak or study any Turkish, you'll learn plenty of bad words and vulgarities, so just enjoy it!

It's way premature for me to write any accurate or thorough review of this series, as I've only just now finished episode 4 of 8, but I wanted to put a word in about the cast as well as the dubbing.
The cast appears to do an excellent job, overall. There are a few misses, even a major one such as the leader of the Istanbul vampires, Dimitri, who is far too over-the-top and self-absorbed for my taste, but by-and-large this cast shines through convincingly.
The movie is filmed in their native Turkish language (forgive my ignorance; I have not researched what this language or dialect would be called), and subtitled. Additionally, someone decided to take the time and invest in the expense to have the entire scripts dialogue dubbed in English.
This could have been something really cool and new, however it seems like the creators were so focused on it looking like a hollywood production that it loses any originality and creativity.
Yes, the story is set in Istanbul however I couldn't help but feel it was in Newyork or Seattle, it's like they completely ignored the Turkish culture! Why would I watch this series when I can watch another American series, at least then it would be somewhat original.
Finally, I certainly did not like how it objectified women and how inappropriate and insensitive some parts were.

A series hyped by the Turkish Community that you can use to fall asleep.Most annoying and stupid series ever.
It looks like a parody. I opened it with high hopes but now it looks so bad. Every 4 word of 3 is cursing .I watched 30 minutes of it , I can say that the producer watched to many turkish dubbed movies. Cast is good but story telling is 0/10. Seriously funny show.

I've not seen this type of movie done in this part of the world and for some reason the flavour and style let alone the atmosphere was spot on. I loved this and I hope many more are made.

I enjoyed it so much and Dimitry was a very good character. All and all, I loved the series and enjoy it. I watched all the episode in raw and I saw a lot of good cinematography here and the actors did amazing work.

From writing to portrayal everything was just worse ! The female actress elcin was a fan of her but idk what happened in this series maybe it's the poor writing or direction !

Looks like a very bad adaptation of American series. Vampires in Istanbul?! It doesn't even makes sense...Casting is good but the scenario and the visuals are definitely not believable. Show doesn't blend with the Turkish culture.
