La familia Uysal

This series is definitely not meant for the mainstream. It is more an arthouse-style series. If you watched other Turkish Netflix series, this is comparable with Ethos / Bir Baskadir. Unique characters, unique storytelling, unique work. It is slow but still moves forward. It has an amazing soundtrack and the DOP also made a good job, the visuals are incredible. Hakan Günday is known for his left political opinion and you can find many hidden messages and criticism regarding the government in this series. But the criticism is also going beyond the Turkish border - it is rather a global / social criticism. Everyone can feel free to be offended.

I and my wife really enjoyed this series. The subject is different than what we see Turkish series and acting is perfect. Onur Saylak is a great director. I recommend it to anybody.

If you are bored of same scenarios and characters "Uysallar" gives you a different taste ...A good view of the challenges of modern society...Lost dreams, broken relations, living under same roof without knowing each other, trying to find peace...Nice series!

The plot may appear to be promising, but it is not... They had, in my opinion, overlooked the main point of the story by excessively focusing on visual work. I mean, they did not include a simple heroic step (points) for Oktay and other characters proceeded very slowly-indeed, one could argue that there was no sign of character development. Do you think I am exaggerating? Then only watch the first and last two episodes; you will not miss anything (except very groovy angles, athmosphere, and desing.)

In addition, the intentions to depict skewed social dynamics and oppression (even ostracism) in certain scenes touched me, but those are just brief moments.

This is an unusual script, and I'm sure many people looking for something easy to digest will hate it, but I thought it was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the unconventional ending. The acting is also superb and the cinematography is good. The humor is very dry and dark. It's not exactly rolling on the floor laughing funny but it is engaging and some of the situations are so uncomfortably silly that there is no other appropriate response other than laughter.
