Another great series from the creators of Ezel. We will watch the fifth episode and i have to say that every episode is far better than the previous one.The script is very good with big suspense in every single scene.The music is very good too. Tuba Buyukustuun in the leading role, proves us for one more time, that is beyond discussion the best Turkish actress now-days.Ilker and Firat are very good in their roles. The girl who plays Tuba s daughter is excellent and all the other actors. If there is something that bothers me a little, is that Tuba s husband is not so good looking for such a beautiful and gorges woman like Tuba. In conclusion, don t miss this series. You must watch it.

This is definitely one of the best Turkish series I've seen. It has the right length, a good and not distracting soundtrack, great actors as well, specially The Deputy, Ali & Melek. Duru and Yagiz are really good too.

The story is very catchy, and you soon being to doubt almost ever character and what their true motivations and alliances are.

Other Turkish shows I recommend: Black Money Love & Kurt Seyit ve Sura.

This is the first Turkish series that has something different to offer than another love story. The plot basically takes place in a prison, gives you an inside look about life there, the rules you have to follow in order to stay safe. The performances are great, especially the female leading actress is phenomenal, and that role gave her an Emmy nomination. We have a chance to watch peoples reaction towards death, injustice and how far can someone go for revenge and love. By far on of the best Turkish series ever !

Full of suspense and packed with action, some violence and unsavory evil types. I am still watching it and losing my patience with several characters because they repeatedly engage in behavior that is detrimental to their plight. I wonder how Ali can keep his teaching job at an elite prep school if he appears with bruises and cuts on his face so often?

If you have a condition that is brought on by stress (binge eating or drinking, skin scratching, etc.) prepare for a rough ride! I have coped with both the tedium and stress by fast forwarding.

As another reviewer mentioned, the slow did get off to a sligjtly slow start. It began to really hit its stride after episode 3 or 4, but when it does, it REALLY captivates you. The show is extremely well-acted, you feel an intense emotional connection to the characters (whether it be extraordinary empathy, anger towards them and- sometimes- you swing back and forth between bitterness and sympathy based on the episode/situation) and it keeps you wanting more. This is not like some TV shows or movies where you guess exactly what the ending will be and who the culprit is. I have yet to complete it but I am so excited to just be following the story line. Why not give it 10 stars? The woman playing Melek is gorgeous and a great actress yes, but why must every hair be in place and her (albeit natural looking makeup) be applied during her prison scenes? With the exception of when they made her run in the rain during an earlier episode, she is perfectly put together. In a REAL prison, ESPECIALLY if they are singling you out, you will not get access to the kind of hair care products needed to keep her tresses in top notch condition. Look at some of the other inmates. Anyone in her position would be looking more than slightly haggard (yes even despite her natural beauty). That is the only thing that is detracting from the plot. It is unrealistic. She would be emaciated, have chapped lips, etc. But that is a minor burden since the show is so great in every other respect.
