Its different, its refreshing. Its a rollercoaster of emotions. The story flows and you just keep watching bc you're curious how the dots are going to connect. Its about a family with secrets, mental health issues, some lonely, misunderstood, but most of all interesting. I actually loved the absurdity. Especially the scenes with Haluk Bilginer was amazing, he cracked me up. BRILLIANT acting (even the performance of little girl Ece), directing, production, music, casting. And the last episode is the best, it has some genius overlaps between conversations from one scene to another. Bravo!

The plot may appear to be promising, but it is not... They had, in my opinion, overlooked the main point of the story by excessively focusing on visual work. I mean, they did not include a simple heroic step (points) for Oktay and other characters proceeded very slowly-indeed, one could argue that there was no sign of character development. Do you think I am exaggerating? Then only watch the first and last two episodes; you will not miss anything (except very groovy angles, athmosphere, and desing.)

In addition, the intentions to depict skewed social dynamics and oppression (even ostracism) in certain scenes touched me, but those are just brief moments.

Story is well written, actors are good too. It was a good description of today's Turkey except economic conditions. Wife was too annoying and by that you can understand that she acted very well. Father figure also a mess. I wonder if there will be a season 2.

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.

You have to understand Today's politics in Turkey in order to enjoy this unique tv series. Well done, well directed and acted. Erdogan lovers and followers will not understand what was is this series about and they will post their one star reviews. Just watch and enjoy.
