My Name is Farah

Finally last night I saw the first episode.

I personally think that Adim Farah is an excellent product, from every point of view.

Wise remake, built with grace and intelligence.

Convincing, often superlative acting, by each actor, starting with the protagonists Demet Özdemir (Farah) and Engin Akyürek (Tahir), without forgetting Firat Tanis (Mehmet).

Congratulations to whoever took care of the casting.

Direction, screenplay, scenography, music, editing are simply perfect.

The rhythm leaves no room for a single breath and you are not bored even for a moment.

When the episode ends, you want to start watching it again!

I hope it goes on keeping the same level!

This series is so beautiful. Every time you feel like you're watching a finished film. Direction, editing, photography, music are made to keep the viewer glued to the screen. The story is very interesting, the suspense always high. Special mention for Demet who plays Farah, this actress is a real talent, she passes without difficulty from the comic genre to the dramatic without difficulty. Her performance is so natural. Accompanied by the great Engin, award-winning actor who tries his hand at a new but absolutely spot on role. The Rastin, Kerimsah, is a baby so talented and every actor is good.

I read this is an adaptation of another series called The Cleaning Lady but I've not watched that series before. So, I'm watching this with minimal spoilers. The main cast characters keep me watching this series. Demet as Farah is perfect and she plays her role very well. As a viewer, I feel her emotions and desperation. Engin as Tahir fits perfectly too. He comes across as a hardened killer and his looks and attire is exactly the part. Yet he is kind and lonely and portrays it well in those short moments. The child actor playing Kerimshah is an absolute delight. His huge eyes are very expressive. His smile lights up the screen. There's 2 issues I have with this series from episode 1 to 3 (only 3 episodes released to-date). It's a bit slow paced at some instances that I find myself multi-tasking as I watch. Secondly, the twists and turns in the story can be predictable. I was on spot in predicting some of the developments in the 3 episodes. Now I'm thinking whether my prediction on Kerimshah's father would be correct. All in all, a very watchable series.

I have not seen the original but this seems to be a very promising show. Gripping story, no histrionics so far, great acting by Engin Akyurek, Demet and supporting cast. Good buildup and will definitely watch the series. I like the pace at which the characters were introduced and how their backgrounds will now unfold giving us a glimpse into their past. Excited!

Hope it stays as gripping as the buildup and does not drag unnecessarily which tends to be the case with most shows.

I am very disappointed by the earlier reviews and the conclusions sometimes viewers draw based on their past biases.

Adim Farah is undoubtedly the best dizi of 2023, although it's a remake of the series 'La Chica que Limpia', the excellent team of scriptwriters is offering us a completely different story that grabs us as each chapter progresses, that added to the great cast headed by Engin Akyürek and Demet Özdemir, accompanied by actors like Firat Tanis, Senan Kara and little Rastin Paknahad.

Its strength is not only in the main story and the excellent performances of its two main characters, but in the whole: interesting side stories, soundtrack, photography, scenery.

Each episode keeps our interest in the TV for more than two hours and leaves us longing for the next episode to come quickly.
