But after i switched to Turkish I came to realize this is a marvelous story with incredible depth, soul, and a real insight into the nature of human hearts and human character (from an albeit inhuman being's experiences).

This is a Frankenstein story to be sure, but it's got a life of its own and should be judged not on its closeness to Mary Shelly but its own merits as a cinemagraphic artwork. I have no clue why so many haters have dropped the rating down to a lowly 6 but this is a piece of fiction Netflix truly excelled in acquiring. Just hope the ending isn't the end.

My only criticism is the failure to provide true closure in the final episode, but in a way it tries to whilst holding the door open for a greenlight of another season it seems (as evident from the 2023 - ___ for its dates). Very good work directors, actors, team and historians. You've actually made me want to dive into more Turkish cinema, something I had 0 interest in or knowledge of prior.

Cheers.

One of the best serie i have watched. I wasnt expecting something this strong in story. I thought its another Frankenstein act but its much more than that. Acting, story, reflections of personalities and choices, familial bonds , ignorances of masses and many other emotions you feel regarding human behaviour, visuals, depth... This is not a fantasy genre for sure, it has those elements yes but its bare minimum. This serie is more like psychology, human nature and choices. I also loved the fact that the main character is not a purely nice guy and he is not bad either. He is literally young who learns through experience, he starts as selfish teenager but somehow finds his worth in the end. Briefly fantastic job. Its definitely worth warching.

A minisaga of a creature that tells the story of our mankind better than all other humans. Although the concept is taken from Frankenstein, it's got a whole another plot. We see love, sadness, disappointment, anger, hatred, hope, and most importantly, greed. Indeed, the story is all about our greed.

The acting of all leading characters are satisfying, especially of Erkan Kolçak Köstendil. However, the dialogues are sometimes banal and disconnected. The storytelling could be improved by enriching the story through historical myths and character backgrounds rather than several situations that the protagonist faces throughout different episodes.

All in all, the most outstanding Turkish production of Netflix so far.

If you have the patience, the last two episodes of the series are truly incredible! The only downside is the presence of a young child, who, if ignored, can easily lead you to binge-watch all the episodes in a single day. Nevertheless, the series delivers a powerful message about love and humanity, serving as a poignant reminder of the significance of family bonds. Moreover, it imparts a valuable lesson on the prevalence of arrogance over scientific knowledge in life's intricate tapestry. Through its narrative, 'Patient' skillfully illustrates how sometimes, despite the leaps and bounds made in scientific understanding, human hubris can still overshadow progress. The characters in the series are brilliantly portrayed, each contributing a unique dimension to the overarching storyline. Their interactions are delicately woven, providing viewers with moments of both heartwarming tenderness and gut-wrenching conflict. The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking, with every frame meticulously composed to evoke emotion and immerse the audience in the world of the characters. The attention to detail in set design and costume adds depth to the narrative, further enhancing the viewer's experience. In addition, the soundtrack deserves special mention. It expertly underscores the emotional highs and lows, effectively drawing viewers deeper into the unfolding drama. The music becomes an integral part of the storytelling, complementing the actors' performances and enhancing the overall impact of the series.

Other than the many unresolved plot lines this series was great. The music was exceptional and really made the show captivating and thrilling. As ive said in the first sentence, if the series had given an ending to some of the stories told during the show and spent more time and money on cgi this could have been one of my top 10 series of all time. Ill probably still watch it a second time thanks to the "creature" character and the soundtrack. Cant wait for the album to come out. One of the best soundtracks since Arizona dreaming. And if anyone has the artists Spotify or socials i would love to give them a follow and see what else they've made. Overall 8.5/10 show for sure.
