Bahar

"Bahar", starring Demet Evgar, is a Turkish drama series that delves into the life of an ordinary housewife whose world turns upside down. Bahar, a mother of two, believes she has a content marriage with her husband, Salih. However, her life takes a drastic turn when Salih disappears mysteriously during a business trip. Now, Bahar is left grappling with the daunting task of raising her family alone while desperately seeking answers about her husband's whereabouts.

Despite the police dismissing any foul play in Salih's disappearance, Bahar's intuition screams otherwise. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks on a perilous journey to find her husband, a journey that forces her to confront her past and unearth long-buried secrets. The series, with its strong female characters, explores universal themes of family, loyalty, and justice.

This is just a glimpse into the intricate world of "Bahar". To witness her journey and unravel the mystery, you'll have to dive into the series yourself!

The story started quite well with lots of potencial....however it took a turn, and it was a wrong one.

The puppet husband reffuses to give a piece of his liver to safe her life, encouraged by his mother, the puppetier. And he gets away with murder.

The wife got something else removed along with her liver, her common sense...and dignity.

The children act as if nothing had happened. "The father is a coward people, almost killed your mother"

The only one with blood on the veins is her mother (the wife's mother).

I suspect we are on for another endless Turkish novel. Not for me, thank you

The bottom line: A story of abuse/s and lack of dignity.

Bahar is another Turkish TV show that started off strong but gradually lost its appeal, especially after the first season. Like many other Turkish dramas, it has been labeled a "remake" of Netflix's Doctor Cha, though I haven't seen the original to confirm the similarities. I also wonder whether simply calling it a remake is enough to avoid copyright issues.

As the show progresses, the humor becomes dull, and the forced addition of unnecessary drama among familiar characters weakens its quality. It's a shame that Turkish TV shows often get stretched out beyond their prime, leading to a drastic decline in ratings-from a solid 10 to a disappointing 3 in this case.

I usually don't watch Turkish soap opera but the subject picked my interest. So I started watching with my wife who is keen on this type of shows. Right away I was strucked by the discussion of Bahar beeing afflicted with liver disease (because she ate too much junk food due to stress !). So they start looking for a "liver donor" ! Where in the world liver transplants are a common occurrence !? I heard of kidney transplants since you got two of those and a person can live with one kidney. A person cannot live without a liver ! You could possibly(?) get a liver from a deceased person, like a heart trans plant but from a live person ?! They could have asked a first year medical student and learned that this is ridiculous. The rest of the show apart from this blatant mistake is the regular husband cheating on his wife, and the wife struggling against misogyny and sexism. I like Demet Evgar as an actress so it was the only reason I kept watching for a few episodes. Watch it in your spare time but don't expect an Emmy worthy show.

The best of the series on the air right now, both funny and improvisations are very good, the best actors play, they play, I'm already finish 2 episodes every day, the addition of new characters increases the stream of the series, I love it, so I think you should watch it, if you don't watch it, you will lose lol, but the only thing I can't like is that Urasla Seren's marriage is so long and there is always a problem, it's boring, also his ideas change a lot, so they have to change. So Bahar also cheated on a different Timur, she still accepts everything, she's crazy, what kind of head she's in, is she an idiot, but watch it anyway, WATCH.
