Jarabe de Arándano

This series has been able to show the difference between two styles of life, Islamic and secular, and has also been able to well portray the problems of religious life without having the necessary information, for example, Ms. Panbe's behavior in judging others without considering the problems of those around her and defining Islam in a small and wrong parenthesis.

The laws of Islam are much broader than wearing a headscarf and giving charity. They include paying attention to one's own behavior, not judging others, striving to be good, cooperating and helping, not harming others, and many other practices that we have been avoiding for many months. If everyone in a community followed those instructions, that community would come closer to utopia.

The first season was amusing and dealt with important topics regarding to families, different values and parts of societies; and I believe the series had the potential to become a great Turkisg series, but since the second season started, the story is not making any sense any more.

There is no logic in the story telling and I think this is a disrespect to the viewers' intelligence, so I'm going to stop watching Cranberry Sorbet from now on.

Many good characters were removed from the show in illogical ways and it's just getting unbearable and very hard to make any sense.

I give 3/10 only for the first seasons and A FEW members of the cast.

It started off so well, great cast, beautiful sets and engaging storyline but the way it ended was just heartbreaking! I mean what was the writer thinking ? So many questions were left unanswered, so many characters left to the imagination of the viewers. Sad that such a promising series ended the way it did. What was the rush to end it so abruptly? I'm sure the viewers would've liked to know the fate of the lead roles, how does the senior couple resolve their conflict? Did the writer run out of a storyline? Or was he forced to write a haphazard ending ? We the viewers will never know why we were left left guessing but it was not fair to the viewers.

I was bored one day and thought of seeing the first episode of this series, more because of Sila being in it. Best decision ever, it blew my expectations and I've enjoyed each second of it. Great plot, excellent cast and good direction. Writing never gets boring, story progresses fast and characters don't act irrationally. It's the story of millions of women in the eastern world, a breath of fresh in the dizi world. 20 excellent episodes so far.

I had my doubts at first, thinking it would be a story washed with Muslim morale, never expected it to be one that would expose the hypocrisy, the wrong and the right, the lack of humanity and empathy of the conservative world too busy to put on a show for the world but very cold and ruthless inside.

Also it exposes many aspects of the so called modern society, lack of tolerance and blown bridges of communication.

I recommend this series if you want an insight in what the clash of two lifestyles is like.

It is a very good series that portrays well the difficulties encountered when a young man from a traditional Muslim family marries a girl whose religion is not the pillar of her family. It's a beautiful family drama that shows that every family has its imperfections and prejudices.

The cast is wonderful and talented. And a very good thing is that the plot does not revolve around the protagonists alone.

Nowadays, I think this series brings very important reflections on religious and moral issues in society not only in Turkey but all over the world.

Once again I emphasize that the cast is so good that it will make you love the characters and hate them in the same episode.
