Kurt Seyit ve Sura

there's more to cinema than Hollywood! what's missing normally, but not in this series: emotion. aesthetics. history. sheer reality. humanity. life.

most films, esp. western, miss a soul and/or meaning. most Hollywood films are cold, violent or shallow fantasies. even if Hollywood does romance, there's somehow aggression involved. rarely real stories. modern western films tend to not be alive!

thank goodness for Netflix, or America would be void of foreign films, which are so damn necessary as alternative to shallow Hollywood, not to mention there's a whole big beautiful interesting exceptional worthy world out there that Americans don't see otherwise. IMDb also needs to get its act together and be more detailed/professional on foreign productions, not focus so much on Hollywood.

this series has 46 episodes in 1 season! ; ) one truly gets involved in the characters, mood. it's one of those series that is hard to get out of. it's almost hard to keep watching, not because it's un-watchable, to the contrary! ; ), but because one dreads what comes next: no series will match its depth/emotion/beauty...

IMDb has several errors in the cast, incl. not naming a main character, Pedro, and putting him way down the list (Birkan Sokullu). there's other omissions/mistakes too. it's incomplete information.

plus IMDb mentions S2 but without any details. will there be a 2nd season?! hope so. but unlikely. so why tease us? ; )

where can one upload images and comment (not just review) on IMDb?

I wholeheartedly appreciated this series. What a wonderful, refreshing contrast to Hollywood. It's a love story, but so much more, its a story about war, deep family connections, deception, oppression, unrequited love, also the deep emotional attachment to another person but how the gears can misaligned and the relationship stops working no matter how hard you try. It was brutally realistic and I am emotionally drained after watching the whole series in a week. I was watching it on my phone during breaks at work and anytime I had a few min. The characters were so perfectly cast and beautiful I was hooked in the first episode. It was great that the villain was as handsome as the rest of the cast. As painful as the ending was it couldn't go any other way. That's life. This was my 3rd Turkish series and I love the work they do. No graphic sex scenes not a lot of violence, just very well done. Can we have more please?

This has to be one of my all time favorite movies. Yes, I continue to watch it as a movie, absolutely love the music, the actors are perfect for their parts. Tears, smiles, laughter, smirks, all the emotions you want in a drama. The camera angles are so different than we normally see with American films and the way they show the love scenes are just beautiful. I have watched all the episodes a dozen times in the past 3 weeks, know the dialogue by heart. It's a beautiful love story. Can't say enough about it...Just love it. I'm a history buff and this introduced a culture that I am not familiar with and spurred my interest in learning more. I have never been a fan of subtitles, but this is the exception.

I don't know when I have enjoyed a series so much. The story had me researching the war during 1917 and the details surrounding that war. There were a number of different characters in the story who all added great variety and elements of emotion. I never get tired of films like this one. It amazes me how rich history is with stories like these of people who lived thru the horrors of war and tyranny. Stories of their struggles, victories and how they just survived it all. So much detail went into the story that helped you really see each character and their lives. I wasn't disappointed with any part of the series and watched every part of it to the end. Sorry to actually get to the end. Could have gone on...where is Season 2?

I found this movie on Netflix by chance Thank you Netflix. It is excellent. I love this move,so captured by the story and especially the main actor Kivanç Tatlitug. He is so handsome and his eyes mesmerize you. Even though I have to watch with closed caption because it is not in English, I cannot stop watching it. I just wish it was in English, although in fact it may lose something. I love these kind of love stories. I wish Kivanc would make some English speaking movies in the U.S. However, I do not like most American movies these days. They are trashy and violent. Not enough true to life wholesome movies that appeal to the romantic. American movies are much too violent, and actors have become so political expressing their political views, I choose not to follow them. They should not bring their personal political rhetoric into the entertainment industry. I will look for more movies like this one.
