Der Club

This series deserves to be watched, do not skip it. Actors,music,costumes ,storyline are excellent. Maybe there are some inaccuracies but it shows the beautiful time of Istanbul ,where a lot of ethnicities were living together peacefully and what exactly happened because of desire for money and power. As a greek with greek relatives who were raped and killed then i did not expect to watch a turkish production showing some true events. Bravo for that. It is better to accept our wrongs,say sorry and move on. I think some bad reviews are from turkish people who did not like to watch what happened to other people with other religion at that times. The main point of the film is not to show the turkish as villains but to show that the different cultures can exist together peacefully when everything is innocent and when there are open minded people. As for the role of Ismet,it reminded me that this film portrays good the fact that turkish men love many times girls from other ethnicities but at last marry turkish girls because of what the society or family will think.

It reflects the Istanbul of the 1950s very well. Its cosmopolitan but out of touch.

Costumes and scenery are very well done.

And it showed some events that are usualy not talked about. There are some historical inaccuracies but its worth watching.

Kulup aka The Club is an amazing all star cast new Turkish show on Netflix set in the 1950s of Istanbul. It's very well acted, good script, good storyline. Salih Bademici can SING! I was blown away by his voice, amazing! It's a very nice story of a mother trying to connect with her daughter after 17 years after being in prison.

I think people should watch the show with an open mind and just enjoy the show, the story, and the breath taking performances from the actors and actresses. Ignore the negative reviews.

Everyone thought he was a great actor; Salih Bademci. He became a giant with his acting. He has displayed such a strong acting that everyone who watches it is almost fascinated and you want to watch it again and again.

As a Jewish and Israeli woman I would like to thank the producers of this serie for what they brought. Except for making a quality drama they really tried to show history through the story. They didn't paint any of the sides in unneeded colors. Just kept it real.

I remember a Jewish man who grew up in Turkey telling me how he missed it, how great it was to live there and how close were the relationships he had with Muslims there, but because of the political situation his Muslim friends used to tell him it would be better for him to convert to Islam, then he won't have the problems he had. He said many people were hiding their religious symbols in order not to get in trouble. I could sense his words through the serie.

Thanks again.
