Baba

Baba is not the regular popular show. At beginnign I didn't start watching it, but I decided to give it a try, and what a surprise. I love the storyline so far, specially Ilhan and Busra love. Hakan Kurtas play a masterful character, he deserves an award.

I give this 5 stars because I have watched a lot of Dizis but haven't seen anything quite like Baba. The acting is phenomenal! The episodes are suspenseful and keep your attention from start to finish. The plots are not predictable. Characters change over time and are flawed; the good guys become bad guys and vice-versa. I love the way it portrays a traditional and religious Turkish family.

Every work Tolga is involved in males it unique. His charisma is outstanding and one of a kind and it shows in his acting, moves, voice and figure. The cast with him is a good one too but preferably not to make a crowd. Good to have a dominant character comes or shows at a time. The title and story are without a doubt much wanted at these difficult times. It would be good to show talents of Tolga in this work such as his singing( his voice is a killer) and his passion. We can not forget how passionate he was in Gunesin Kizlari, Soz, Ferhat il Sirin and Ariza.... unmatched capabilities are there in Tolga that symbolises each role so efficiently. We seek his continuous work, never stop in dazzling us and all audience around the world, perhaps if we can see season 2 and more in Baba.

Up to Season 2 episode 24: Bad people ALWAYS win in this series. I seriously question the character and morals of the writers and director of this series. It's seriously not normal. How many men are working there and how few are the controllers/abusers...they can easily be overpowered, locked up so no one will ever find them. Why are they so spineless?

Old review: This series looks promising. Everything Tolga Saritas stars in is good...he makes everything good...such a brilliant, soulful actor. I just wish they starred Özge Yagiz (Busra) as his love interest and not Beril Pozam (Sevil). Kadir and Busra has a lot of chemistry and it would be more credible. They don't fit as bother and sister. Beril is an excellent actress but doesn't have chemistry with Tolga. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the development of this story. Hakan Kurtas (Ilhan) always plays the vilain very well.

Episode 5 and the series is already starting to lose credibility..."everyone is bad" and trying to distort the now rich family. It's a bit too much.

Episode 10/11 The explosion....now all seriousness /credibility is gone. Clearly the creators of this series didn't do their research on the devastation an explosion leaves. Fortunately the paramedics didn't have to struggle with the dead, torn off limbs, blood and embedded shrapnel as the most seriously injured in this explosion is Elif with a cut brow...lol. The guy in the middle of the explosion actually got up and walked out with Kadir, no blood just dust on his face...seriously? Were you just lazy or didn't have a make-up artist to recreate injuries? At least don't let everyone run out of the building uninjured. I was really hopeful for this series.... I'll keep watching just because of Tolga Saritas and Hakan Kurtas.

Must be honest, I was looking forward to season 2...what a disappointment. Episode after episode about an old man with Alzheimers running away and Busra and Ilhan having the same conversation over and over. There is no meat to the story...them trying to win back their business for instance. Just loss after loss after loss. No wins for this, beyond miserable family. Now I'm done watching. You've wasted Tolga's talent in this stupid series that actually had so much potential to be very interesting if the writers just stuck to the storyline in season 1. They have clearly run out of ideas.

Too many "Baba" families with various problems, only add to the length of the episode without sufficient quality. What's confusing is who the main actor in this story is not clear, if it's Kadir he doesn't have enough ability to deal with the chaos caused by the author. Actually a lot of quality players here but with a chaotic storyline, their talent is wasted. What's frustrating is that everyone is easily controlled by Baba and Ilhan...
