Behzat Ç.: An Ankara Policeman

The best part of the series is that it tells the whole story with all its naturalness.The best example of how to deal with American TV series with a simple budget.

Really good scenario. I've never watched a series of characters and actors so compatible before. Selected good actors. Akbaba is amazing. This serie is unique. I am "Memduh Baskan" fan.

Although this series takes a whole chunk of your life since each of the 97 or so episodes is between 1.5 to 2 hours long, you will enjoy watching it much more than doing anything else in the same amount of time. The characters are very well rounded and the acting is brilliant. The actor who plays Behzat really lives the role. He is totally believable and although I could have lived without every second word being an F word (and very creatively used F words to boot!), the bad language did suit the characters' characters. The story line was very well crafted with unexpected twists. Two of the writers' triumphs were the characters of Bashgat Memdez (spelling undoubtedly wrong) and the psychopathic Ercüment Çözer. I just loved the humorous lines they were given as they killed right, left and centre. Another favourite of mine was Behzat's brother, Sevket. He was annoying in a very entertaining way. Harum was more difficult to handle but well you can't choose your co-workers I suppose. There was only one ridiculous episode and that was a dream sequence which really was a waste of time, but the rest of the series was absolutely first class and if they brought out another series I'd be happy to spend another 200 hours watching it!

Cinema and series from all parts of this world can entertain,enlighten,help understanding a country and its people...Behzat does that,yes a "cop show" of all things!The characters are real it seems,we get glimpses of life in Turkey/Ankara,we have a taste of levels of government,police structures,modern and more traditional aspects of a country portrayed by some media(all!?)in a over simplistic manner....amazing show,thank you to the Turkish People!

Saw this on NETFLIX. Gave me a great view on what Turkish life and customs and political issues . I was sad to see it end at 96 episodes as I felt like I was loosing friends. I know they are only TV characters, but still I wonder what happened to them, how their lives went. That is what a great TV series should do it should make you feel the characters are real and care about them.
