Çalikusu

I loved this show, I just happened to have seen it but I loved the whole thing. Only bad thing I could say was the ending. It was odd. Just left me confused. I'm thinking she showed up and hoping she showed up. But I wish it had a better ending starting from where she left her wedding. Other then that I was hooked.

This is my first review ever, but I have made extra effort to do it as I have never experienced such a lasting and lingering impact on me from watching a drama.

Hats off to the directors for the fresh take on a classic story. And deep respect for the actors, especially Burak (Kamran) and Fahriye(Calikusu) for bringing to us their exceptional on-screen romance. The sets, the costumes, the Turkish traditions that are portrayed have made me fall in love with this culture.

I have watched many western and eastern romantic movies & serials but none had this lingering and wanting-to-see-more affect than this serial.

Thank you Netflix for bringing this serial to US. What a great way to help us understand other cultures and see the beauty in them.

This series is so good!! You will not be ab;e to do anything else. I am American and watched this series with subtitles on Netflix and loved it. The two main Characters capture you into to their lives and hold you intensified and emotionally on edge. Bravo, Bravo! My only complaint is I wanted more... the supporting cast was wonderful too!! The writing is so good with many phrases I will carry with me in my life. Each character was fully developed and realized. Okay their were times I needed the main characters to just have time to be happy and I had wished I had gotten more of them at the end but that was because I felt like i lived these lives with them. I think this series represents the Muslim culture beautifully too!

I have to say This is my first Turkish movie other than the ones directed by Ferzan Ozpetek. The sound of the language is beautiful. Many times I thought of Jeremy iron in " Brideshead revisited."It is beautifully written. Extremely well crafted story telling. The acting is excellent!!! I believe it is a masterpiece that should definitely get international recognition. The editing is seamless , not only the two main characters shine but they have an excellent talented supporting cast. It gives a beautiful insight to Turkish culture at the beginning of last century while modernity is starting to dawn on them. I could not stop watching it ! Great job Netflix on adding it your library!!!

I gave my rating an 8 only because of how it ended. I really loved the show. I only hope they give us another season to end it for real, not leave it to our imaginations.
