Çalikusu

Superb acting by all characters, excellent background music, consistency of story, beautiful period clothing, location filming perfect, wonderful family dynamics, masterfully done. The ending is too short and leaves audience wanting more of Kamron and Feride and family. I have watched 3x, am learning Turkish, have read the book and plan on visiting turkey because of 'Calicusu'.

I have to say This is my first Turkish movie other than the ones directed by Ferzan Ozpetek. The sound of the language is beautiful. Many times I thought of Jeremy iron in " Brideshead revisited."It is beautifully written. Extremely well crafted story telling. The acting is excellent!!! I believe it is a masterpiece that should definitely get international recognition. The editing is seamless , not only the two main characters shine but they have an excellent talented supporting cast. It gives a beautiful insight to Turkish culture at the beginning of last century while modernity is starting to dawn on them. I could not stop watching it ! Great job Netflix on adding it your library!!!

I LOVE this show LoveBird Calikusu, I am Australian from Australia and I absolutely love this show I don't want it to end, I am just now watching the last 2 episodes and will be up to episode 72 my questions is. what happens after this? Will the show continue? is the show over? anyone know? I do pray it continues!!

Calikusu is a glimpse into Turkish life when the Mullahs controlled civil society.

Similar to Downton Abbey, where the lives of the servants are also reflected, it tells the love story of two cousins.

As an American, I had to overcome my own cultural sensibilities to accept what for us is considered an incestuous relationship. To see it endorsed and encouraged proved a bit difficult for me in trying to appreciate the tale.

It doesn't hurt that the lead actor resembles a young Omar Sharif or George Clooney. The sumptuous landscapes, poetic language,and great acting contribute to a lovely story. The actors' expressions animate their feelings in a realistic manner.

For bellydancers, especially, the music and dancing should resonate, as the show features some belly dancing. The language also fascinates me from a linguistic perspective, noting some similarities to Russian, my college major.

i don't know if i l have this opinion because of I'm actually Turkish but i love this show. i really love this two: burak and fahriye they are great couple and have this amazing energy when they are together. this show represent our culture back those ottoman empire's day. deride is stubborn innocent, hard on the outside but soft in the inside kind of girl and kamran (not kamuran like it misspelled in here) is a kind, passionate boy who, at the beginning, was with neriman but when time passes by he get to know about deride and loves what he learns. actors and actresses in this show are very talented. i think burak and fahriye are stunning couple who looks good together and i love that fahriye can cry without a movement in her face and when burak smile his eyes shine with joy. this is one of my favourite shows and it certainly is my favorite Turkish TV series. you should watch it if you can cause it's amazing
