Ates Kuslari

I came to this show to see Burak and Ilayda (who I really adore) but was captured by a gripping and heart wrenching story. This show is like no other I have seen. The commentary on real life and the extreme differences of life for rich and poor is absolutely mind blowing. This show will pull at your heart and also your head. My empathy meter is off the chart for the characters and the people in life that are living that reality. It reminds us to be grateful to be born into a loving family and had the basic needs met at all times. Not every person is so blessed. But the irony of it all is that even with NOTHING, this family (the homeless children) have a great love and unbreakable bond. That is something no money can buy.

Every single actor deserves a standing ovation. They are so realistic and passionate and also humorous. They are absolutely the best. It would be shameful if I didn't mention the child actors. I have never seen such great acting from children. They won my heart and I would love to see them in more projects....but for now, I hope this series does not end. It's on Fire.

When you watch this series, you can't just go on with your life without thinking, what should I do to help children who live in the street. You act, you donate maybe to certain orphange. But you probably can't just go on without feeling guilty concious. We need more of such kind of seriese that can reach the audiance and has a meaningful purpose. I think both epiosd 5 and 6, show us more vivdly the evil side in humanity, how far can they reach, and the good will people, how far can they help. High respect to each member of this cast. You are helping to make the world a better place to live in. Hope your massage reach so many people. It would be nice to watch this series in Netflix or other streaming service, translated to English and Arabic. Thank you.

The best Turkish drama I've seen to date! Can't wait for series 2! The acting is also the best I've seen yet. I was completely gripped and some of the episodes had me sitting and crying, holding my head in disbelief, gasping with shock etc! Absolutely fantastic. If you haven't seen it yet then you must watch it. What a storyline too though. It's got everything. I only found out recently that there will be a season 2 which is great because I have actually been quite lost without it. I haven't found anything that comes near it to watch since season 1 finished! Can't wait for session 2! The best one yet!

The first 2 episodes really drag will it pick up and be interesting because it has good actors. The music is a bit run of the mill ,the story is very interesting but every time i put it on I have to skip dragging boring chunks. I have seen the first 2 and still waiting for the story to pick up pace. The music belongs to a play like Mavera or Younus Emre completely inappropriate. It keeps pointlessly dragging ,people running around pointlessly back and forth .The play lacks a strong axis around which it can pivot and build a story. Into the 3rd show and still going back to recall the past but not moving forward seems due to lack of a strong plot.

I am always looking for a series that has a social message as well as being entertaining. The child actors are brilliant and bring their story of orphans who live on the street exploited by a human trafficker to light. This is happening now everywhere.

The homeless children become a family with an unbreakable bond and willingness to sacrifice for each other. It is a beautiful story.

It is not a sad series. There is joy, hope, love, humor, understanding. One of the characters is on the spectrum and is brilliant but tossed out for being "a dummy". The other children understand and value his strengths and respect his boundaries.
