I love Turkish Dramas but I really love this show. So many great characters. Funny, sad, dramatic, love, forgiveness, everything. I wish we had good television like Turkish dramas. I am thankful that Netflix shows so many. I recommend everyone watch this show. I am learning the Turkish language so that I can watch good series and movies like this. Shows like this help me learn the language.

In the reviews someone asked how to watch this with English subtitles. You can watch this with English subtitles thanks to Netflix buddy.

This series is of unexpected quality from a Turkish series. A perfect set of unique characters and legendary scripts awaits you!

Istanbul is my favorite city in the world. With Covid-19 causing such a disruption, I have been forced to turn to NetFlix for entertainment during this quarantine.

I have watched "Resurrection: Ertugrul" and "The Protector". I enjoyed both.

I respect the work and dedication from the cast, crew and writers to produce this show. I am so impressed with the quality of writing, casting, acting and cinematography. The visuals are impressive.

This is a huge ensemble cast. Even harder to pull off than Game of Thrones. You do not have the special effects. Old fashion quality acting. You relied on solid directing and acting to produce one of the most unique shows I have ever seen. Yes...I get it is a little "campy", but that is the charm.

Each character was so well defined and maintained character. Only very minor breaks...that is impossible to do with a production of this caliber and pace. It had to be brutal some days.

The plot twists, new characters and seamless threading of the story lines was brilliant!!!!

I love the entire ensemble. Each actor/actress delivered their character perfectly. Each of the actors performed so well. I usually lean toward a character or two, but this cast gave you so many options. This show was one of those VERY rare collection of talent is unforgettable.

I do have to give one of the lead actresses a show out. Her portrayal of her primary and her disabled twin was remarkable - Oscar quality. But it was tasteful as well. Hard to do this.

Overall, I give this show a 10. I have never written a review on a topic like this. I actually created a login just to write this review to let the cast and crew know how much I appreciate a the high quality of their work and efforts.

All the best to each of you in this life.

A unique blend of 360 degrees of emotions ranging from love and sensitivity to cruelty and hatred. Actors are superior in every sense and their portrayals become real. The explitives told by Aziz at the beginning of each episode casts the duality of human nature and conflicts and questions that construct such behavior. A learning experience for the viewer interleaved with tears and fear link humanities best and worst behavior. Had it not been for the sophomoric fighting scenes I would have given the show 10 stars.

I really didn't think I would like this at first---It looked like it would be a mix of Beauty and the Beast with Ninja Turtles. Some of the acting was way over the top, so I thought this might be for a younger audience.

Once I gave it a chance I got completely pulled in to the story. The plot is very complicated, with several plots interwoven. Some are crime stories, some are love stories, and some are about fate, fraternity, loyalty, and betrayal. Also abuse and mental illness. There are medical experiments and a quest for eternal life.

I loved most of the acting. The backstories and character development made me sympathetic for all but the most evil bad guys. Subat and Yagmur especially change a lot as they mature in this story.

No spoiler--but the ending is extraordinary.

Like most of these Turkish shows there is no sex shown but there is a lot of violence.

At times it was obvious that the subtitles had mistakes--especially mixing masculine and feminine pronouns. It made me wonder what else I was missing.
