Alef

After watching The first 2 episodes I am absolutely amazed at the quality of the show. The acting, dialogue, story, pacing and cinematography are all top notch. The show immediately grabs your interest from the first few scenes and doesn't let go.

It's reminds me True Detective Season 1.There is a similar tone.

Maybe it's because of the script. The Dialogues between the actors feel so artificial. It feels like the students (actors) memorized their notes and making a presentation about Ottoman history to their teachers. The lines comprising Ottoman terms of actors make it hard for spectators to understand. Hence, makes the show boring. Hope it gets better for the coming episodes.

No Spoiler just

I can see why this show is different after watching 3 ep First of all the show follow's the american Rule of design the story which is new in turkey as my experiance , clearly looks like the FX Show "Fargo" and many other mini series in our time

But this is not the only reason the cinematogrphy , acting , soundtracks , the good choices of Songs thats follow the tradtions of turkey

All of this Makes this show different and i should tell you that this Show is Good for Some people thats try to enter the turkish shows or they saw other bad shows from turkey like netflix's ones "the protector"

Very good try if alef complete in the same way

After watching the 3 episodes ,I must say it does n't seem Turkish at all .So far there is mystery in every aspect of the story that makes you excited about what comes next .No weak woman ,no unnecessary love story .If you didn't hear the language ,you would think it is a good English tv series .Needless to say that the two actors playing the two detectives are really amazing .Very good so far and totally recommended .
