Ask ve Ceza

Great tradition vs modern story! Murat yildirim and Tomris Incer are amazing!! Awesome acting. Feride cetin good as well... but the leading actress I felt was terrible. She was a poor match for Murat and in my opinion just could not hold the leading role:( was the weak point for sure. Also was slow and dragging towards the end and camera was too shaky. But still overall good show.

The. Show is called love and punishment but the only person who was born punish was Cicek and she differently was not getting any love. The love story they try to make us believe between Savas and Yasmin was not believable if the writers had take their time and write them properly than maybe yes but them been this great love for each other makes no sense whatsoever. The way he treated Cicek was bad he can go out sleep with Yasmin but poor lonely Cecik most stay in her room and stare out the window he thought because he married her and let her go to school that he save her somehow and she should thankful . I felt so bad for poor Cicek especially when he move Yasmin and his son into the house without considering Cicel feedings. The poor woman had to be driven around because they would not let her go out by herself so she had zero freedom. I had to skip some episodes and fastforward a lot scenes.

I started watching this series and it got very long and boring and simply stopped watching it. I don't understand why these series just keep going on and on. Just seemed like a low budget series dorry.

I watched Season 1 on Netflix with English subtitles. Am eager to see when Season 2 is on Netflix. The actors are very convincing. The plots are complicated so I can't guess how things will get resolved which makes for continual suspense. I like international series because the scenes and locations are set up with a lot of care and detail, variety, and photographic beauty. I also like the scripts in international series such as this one because sometimes they are exceptionally poignant, heartfelt and wise. The scripts and story lines are always well written and well developed, and I believe the English subtitles are excellent.

This was the first Turkish drama I watched so it has a special place in my heart. However, it's definitely not the best out there. The storylines do drag on and the characters can be really illogical in their decision making, but overall its not bad. Murat Yildirim (savas) and Tomris Incer (sahnur hanim) both gave steller performances and honestly were the best part of the show. The plot line is interesting and delves into certain customs and traditions in Turkey and other parts of the middle east. Despite the love story being a major part of the show, it was one of the least interesting parts for me personally. I would say the first half of the show was its peak.
