L'ombre de Fatma

Excellent show, the main character is hipnotizing. You feel that all your attention is concentrated in her face, nobody else exists.

In the last years turkish movies and series are so unique, so different.

Watch it, you won't be sorry....

Fan of Yilmaz Güney, Nuri Bilge Ceylan I am more fan of the Turkish art movies than series. Being curious and biased of Turkish series 'culture' I gave myself the joy to see my prejudice confirmed. Just to see I I could hold my concentration for just one full first episode. Also because I know Ugur Yücel as an artist I appreciate. But this miniserie Netflix made in Turkiye stunned me. Especially Burcu Biricik. Outstanding and hypnotizing play. Even her village styled dialect Turkish is very convincing. But many others are at the same game. Dark, suspenseful, psychological and emotional but without the Turkish dramatic crying, yelling nor overacting. Turkish cinema is getting more and more interesting again. My bias became an apology.

It could have been an average revenge thriller but Burcu Biricik pushes it beyond that. She creates a memorable character that gives the series a real emotional depth. Don't mean to be obnoxious but people have won Oscars for lesser performances.

It represents the lower class Turkish culture very well and you can easily understand that the writers know the culture of the country from the heart. I really liked the plot and found it unique. Acting is amazing and it represents the particular part of Turkish people.

A nice story, Nice actor, Surprisingly with lots of perspectives.
