Uysallar

This is an unusual script, and I'm sure many people looking for something easy to digest will hate it, but I thought it was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the unconventional ending. The acting is also superb and the cinematography is good. The humor is very dry and dark. It's not exactly rolling on the floor laughing funny but it is engaging and some of the situations are so uncomfortably silly that there is no other appropriate response other than laughter.

I and my wife really enjoyed this series. The subject is different than what we see Turkish series and acting is perfect. Onur Saylak is a great director. I recommend it to anybody.

When the guy from trainspotting got a bag full of money, he decided to become and architect and settle down. He forgot about his past as a drug addict punk and focused on his family and career. He has a great apartment, kids, an engineer house wife. But once he turns 40, all this is not enough. He is longing for his youth. His everyday life becomes unbearable. And he is dressing up with his punk outfit, paying for the vacation and the drugs of some homeless punks. End of the story.

The only reason why you should watch this thing is Haluk Bilginer. He is fantastic and hilarious. You can't figure out if he really exists or if it's simply a hallucination of the protagonist. He really gets the vibe of what this series should be. Unfortunately the rest of the actors cannot keep up with his excellent approach.

This series is definitely not meant for the mainstream. It is more an arthouse-style series. If you watched other Turkish Netflix series, this is comparable with Ethos / Bir Baskadir. Unique characters, unique storytelling, unique work. It is slow but still moves forward. It has an amazing soundtrack and the DOP also made a good job, the visuals are incredible. Hakan Günday is known for his left political opinion and you can find many hidden messages and criticism regarding the government in this series. But the criticism is also going beyond the Turkish border - it is rather a global / social criticism. Everyone can feel free to be offended.

If you are bored of same scenarios and characters "Uysallar" gives you a different taste ...A good view of the challenges of modern society...Lost dreams, broken relations, living under same roof without knowing each other, trying to find peace...Nice series!
