Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman ki

a Turkish soap opera. it is the first verdict about this series. not wrong but far to be correct. because it has the virtue to use a theme not new , real familiar, but splendid used in this series - the family. in its simple sense, dramas, expectations, bad ideas and uninspired gestures. a father. his daughters. and a form of war who has only victims. so, a different film about basic virtues and forms of adaptations to reality.

a good example of Turkish new wave cinema. because it uses the rules of soap opera in wise manner, reflecting the nuances of period, the social problems, using interesting characters, exploring the atmosphere nuances and the drama possibilities. a film about a family. cold, bitter, far to be comfortable. and the ray of inspired script, the music, the landscapes and the links between characters are pillars of an interesting story about emotions, tragedies, hopes and fight against great problems. each actor does a real good job. sure, the sentimental slices are present. the pink crumbs of each soap opera are not little .but , in fact, the message, the acting, the story are not only good intentions expressions. and that fact is the most important aspect.

I watched it years ago and i still like gping back and watching it every single episode is well wrotten and played and there is so much depth to each characters and they convey and show emotions very clearly it will make you cry everytime. Its sooooooo freakin gooood. You should watch it. If there is only 1 turkish series youre going to watch this should be the one. Stoey line has taken place in past in late 60's i think and its truly nostalgic vibes even if you never lived in that era it makes you feel familiar its so strangly beautiful. Also sounds and music is magneficent. Very well done. Listen to me and go watch it.

This serial is a new breath for Turkish television...

On the first glance there might be some apparent cliché episodes but the story goes deeper and deeper... It may not have the best TV serial scenario but the perfect cast what makes you stick to the screen on behalf outstanding and realistic performances.

I'd like to mention especially about Mete (Aras Bulut İynemli). I bet he'll be a very famous and successful actor in the future. The way he acts makes me have shivers... Everybody performs very very well and it's more than I expected... But I would not pass without mentioning little Osman (Emir Berke Zincidi)... He is only 6 years old... Actually whole story is told through his eyes in 1960's Istanbul... So smart and very very very lovely...

The background music picked up very successfully...

Overall this TV serial deserves watching... And it seems that new stars are about to be born...

Congratulations to producers, director and most of all the cast...

THE BEST tv show of all time I watched it 5 times already and I will watch over and over again it's just something about the story that gets me deep inside and I would like to visit the city they filmed the show and the neighborhood and all the special moments was filmed but I can't find the exact place, I would be appreciated if someone can help me and thanks.
