El sastre

The script simplified the story. I can't say that it was successful due to very long unnecessary scenes and insufficient character depictions. It's not too bad to watch though. It's not a waste of time either. Because the story is good. The acting of Olgun Simsek, Celile Toyon and especially Salih Bademci are impressive. If you want to watch. Do it . If you don't, you'll miss the good story. As you watch the series, you will continue to wonder where the story will lead. I hope it will take place in Turkish TV series. As a result, you should not don't give up easily. As I mentioned before, it's definitely not a waste of time.

Usually series like this is completely junk. But this one has a perfect camera perspective, It's giving the western type of a picture in some scenes. And some scenes has some perfect Istanbul Aurora like in 1960s and 1970s. The storyline seems very long actually. But they made it very short. That's the only part that I did not like. But in traditional media, we already seeing unnecessary long TV series that makes people want to puke ! The actor choices was perfect. I think "Cagatay Ulusoy" is a perfect candidate for this role. He reminds me "Ayhan Isik", which is a perfect actor from "Yesilcam" era. I give 8 for this series and waiting for the season 2. Thanks to the Netflix for giving us this show. Thanks for the cast too. I love the suits in the movie.

Who thought that one long affair could be stretched out over 3 series ? I wanted to stop watching after half way through season 1 but like a car crash, you can't stop looking.

I was confused as to whether it was a Muslim or Christian series, but it was unimportant as it turned out.

I didn't warm to the actress playing Esvet. She had one expression which only changed with a few tears. A hint of a smile only happened in the last episode. The script also had her turning up when she shouldn't have - all the time, which was irritating to the story. Pueramy was a good character but throughout, there was lots of "filler" long pauses of "looks' with piano background playing., so I did a lot of fast forwarding.

The actor playing Mustafa was beyond excellent, but he underwent a seismic change in a short time. One minute needing to be spoon fed to wearing a tuxedo and having grow up conversations !

My favourite was Dimitri, the actor had the best part playing a manic with a range of emotions BUT he had the most wonderful wardrobe of spectacles and shaded sunglasses ! By the end I missed his perfect teeth and had serious glasses envy !

My husband and I have been big fans of Çagatay Ulusoy since his performance in the 2016-2017 Turkish series Içerde (Insider). The Terzi series just solidified for us what an amazing actor he is. He plays Peyami, who is a tailor by trade and is wearing his cards very close to his chest...juggling multiple secrets while trying to help keep his childhood friend-business partner in check. His best friend is Dimitri who is on the verge of his wedding to Esvet and has had Peyami make her wedding dress without ever actually seeing her. Peyami's grandfather passes away and in moves his grandmother with his mentally ill father Mustafa, who he has tried to keep from both the public and his best friend. To help him wrangle work, his best friend, and at least one of his secrets is Suzi, his right hand and office manager. This strong and hardworking character is played by the lovely Ece Sükan.

This is the first time I have seen mental illness portrayed in a Turkish series. First, I want to mention what an amazing job Olgun Simsek is doing portraying the mentally ill character of Mustafa, who had meningitis in his youth and has been kept perpetually young mentally ever since. His son Peyami has been ashamed of his father and asked his grandfather to help hide him away. It is interesting to watch Peyami's struggling with both loving his father and being ashamed. Additionally he has had a secret search going for his biological mother who has not been in his life.

This isn't the only mental illness in the series...Esvet, is adopted by a couple who have a mentally ill son who needs to be taken care of and Dimitri himself seems to suffer from some kind of psychosis that causes violent irrational outbreaks and results in cruel behavior...while at the same time he seems to have an affinity for the innocent animals and child like mentally ill.

My favorite character was Cemre, who was a bit of a surprise in season two. Initially, I thought she was going to be destructive and cause nothing but problems...but she seems to walk this interesting and supportive line that surprised me.

I am writing this review in between the second and third season...and I have to say the third season has a lot to wrap up. Season one ends in a cliffhanger that makes you concerned for a beloved character's life and season two has a beautiful reunion ending.

Really well acted, gorgeous Turkish sets, beautiful musical score, whirling Sufi Dervishes, and a unique story built around family/mental illness make this drama a worth watching series.

My review is based on watching this series in the original Turkish language with English subtitles.

Second Season very intense from start to finish. Great Teamwork and the actors managed very well to keep the thin thread of the story without to danger of breaking. The music was also great and provided the fair amount of suspense to each episode. Congratulations to the whole Terzi (The Tailor) Team,actors,Director but especially to Cagatay Ulusoy,the actor who no longer acts but becomes a character himself. The emotions and feelings experienced by this actor also transmitted them to us viewers. A performance worthy of all respect. Cagatay Ulusoy today overtook himself once again and managed to fly higher and higher. Chapeau Cagatay 👏👏👏
