Alef

It's reminds me True Detective Season 1.There is a similar tone.

Just watched the first episode. The atmosphere, directing, actings, project design and all impressing. It gives a hope that's it's gonna be a milestone for Turkey show business. Can't wait the next episodes!

After watching the 3 episodes ,I must say it does n't seem Turkish at all .So far there is mystery in every aspect of the story that makes you excited about what comes next .No weak woman ,no unnecessary love story .If you didn't hear the language ,you would think it is a good English tv series .Needless to say that the two actors playing the two detectives are really amazing .Very good so far and totally recommended .

Alef is already one of the most serious works in Turkey because of the quality of acting,directing, dialogues,technical parts and perhaps most importantly cinematography,it is perfect and praiseworthy actually.There are not many series worldwide which offer this kind of a cinematography and detailed work.It is too early to say a certain thing about story but it is intriguing with a opening like this.This series is a co-production between fx and blutv.There is a huge potential in these kinda shows and it should be supported and expanded.I hope it gets the necessary attention.Have a good time everyone.

Maybe it's because of the script. The Dialogues between the actors feel so artificial. It feels like the students (actors) memorized their notes and making a presentation about Ottoman history to their teachers. The lines comprising Ottoman terms of actors make it hard for spectators to understand. Hence, makes the show boring. Hope it gets better for the coming episodes.
