Fatma

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.

Burcu Biricik is wonderful, and so are many Turkish films I'm discovering during the Pandemic when I am working from home and have more time to explore. She is riveting, electrifying, and heartbreaking in this story of a mother, her son, and hidden truths. Her character is also brave and tough as proverbial nails. My only reservation is some of the direction is a bit erratic, and the bad guys are wimps next to Fatma! Loved the film: strongly recommended.

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.
