Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman Ki

It is one of the last Turkish series I watched.

After that, many silly Turkish serials were released.

This series was cool.

a Turkish soap opera. it is the first verdict about this series. not wrong but far to be correct. because it has the virtue to use a theme not new , real familiar, but splendid used in this series - the family. in its simple sense, dramas, expectations, bad ideas and uninspired gestures. a father. his daughters. and a form of war who has only victims. so, a different film about basic virtues and forms of adaptations to reality.

I watched this TV series a few years ago and then decided two months ago while I was hospitalized to watch it over again. And most of the time I felt as if I swallowed I stone. This show is so well written and the story is so deep that it really get you. The acting, the background music , just E V E R Y T H I N G is breathtaking. Episode after episode, tear after tear, some nights I cried myself to sleep because in some ways you can really relate to the series, especially if you have a sore heart. Just brilliant, the ones who haven't seen this series, they don't know what they missed in life. Just watch it and thank me later :)

This serial is a new breath for Turkish television...

On the first glance there might be some apparent cliché episodes but the story goes deeper and deeper... It may not have the best TV serial scenario but the perfect cast what makes you stick to the screen on behalf outstanding and realistic performances.

I'd like to mention especially about Mete (Aras Bulut İynemli). I bet he'll be a very famous and successful actor in the future. The way he acts makes me have shivers... Everybody performs very very well and it's more than I expected... But I would not pass without mentioning little Osman (Emir Berke Zincidi)... He is only 6 years old... Actually whole story is told through his eyes in 1960's Istanbul... So smart and very very very lovely...

The background music picked up very successfully...

Overall this TV serial deserves watching... And it seems that new stars are about to be born...

Congratulations to producers, director and most of all the cast...

a good example of Turkish new wave cinema. because it uses the rules of soap opera in wise manner, reflecting the nuances of period, the social problems, using interesting characters, exploring the atmosphere nuances and the drama possibilities. a film about a family. cold, bitter, far to be comfortable. and the ray of inspired script, the music, the landscapes and the links between characters are pillars of an interesting story about emotions, tragedies, hopes and fight against great problems. each actor does a real good job. sure, the sentimental slices are present. the pink crumbs of each soap opera are not little .but , in fact, the message, the acting, the story are not only good intentions expressions. and that fact is the most important aspect.
