Who Were We Running From?

Melisa Sozen and Eylul Tumbar. 👏🏻👏🏻 The serie adapted from Perihan Magden's novel of the same name attracts attention with its veteran cast. When I first started the serie, the story really affected me deeply. I finished the serie in one day by watching it non-stop. It was a very enjoyable, very fluid serie. Anyone who thinks if I shouldn't watch it, should open it and watch it immediately, I don't think they will ever regret it. I like it so much that I don't hold back from recommending it to all my friends. I hope that Turkish productions will continue to be of such high quality and make themselves watched. Netflix has done a very good job, congratulations to everyone who has contributed in the production. 👏🏻

Welcome to all the most fantastic hotels in Turkey 🇹🇷 My name is Mr. X and I'll be your guide tonight..

Beautiful scenery, polished and well presented but in lack of substance and surprise! Turn off the language and just watch in silence is more exciting than listening to the mother & Bambi presenting/talking like robot's to each other!

It could have been sooo amazing if they just used the natural ingredients from a human being like really work for the script but failed!

I love to see that the production changes the voice over to English and hires really professional actors and saves it a little bit ...

The script is replete with naive and fanciful word flourishes that are meaningless fluff, and also with many, many instances of outlandish, improbable, illogical scenarios. For cheap emotional shortcuts, it leans heavily on Disney's Bambi, which is a pretty traumatic children's tale to start with.

So, it's mostly a crap production, with some beautiful looks, sometimes good acting, but featuring totally over-the-top, histrionic, ridiculous 'baddie' characters as antagonists. I don't think one is supposed to sympathize with a bunch of criminal acts, but it starts to seem justified, and then you just want every other person in this thing to get whacked asap, because almost everyone in the world they inhabit is an interfering moron.

Also, the screenplay/action doesn't match the dialog:

• When a character says, "I'm going to get changed," it hardly follows that the character then disappears for an extended shower that was never mentioned.

• A law enforcement officer angrily says some total nonsense, that 2 vacationer suspects are 'bucking the system', which is hardly what's been depicted, nor a crime in any way. Another one shouts out for people to "stop running," and no one at all is running anywhere.

• The biggest jackhole of the production tells a professional who exhibits nothing but normal competency to "stay calm." Of course, it's a woman in security that a male bro-dude in law enforcement is speaking to. Then, she gets browbeaten for one single event at one location, and without her prior knowledge of any crime, after a parade of thoroughly informed men have previously failed to prevent prior escapes from multiple locations. GTHO!

This show tries SO hard to convince you of the narrative, but fails miserably. The "child" actress - along with the obnoxious elevator ladies - are the worst. The "mother" lacks dimension and sports the same expression & attitude throughout the whole 1st episode (yes, I barely watched one. It's that bad).

The mother & daughter duo were supposed to be mysterious and intriguing, making you question them and their choices.

However they are not the LEAST bit interesting. They are very bland & forgettable - and also annoying and weird. Where everyone's curiousity around them comes from, is really the only mystery in this show.

It is odd, and doesn't even make an effort to draw you in at all. The show just tries to throw the story in your face, without any background of sorts.

Don't waste your time. Would give 0 stars, but you have to give at least 1 sooo ..

I liked the suspense but it starts becoming long and drawn out by episode 5. It becomes repetitive. In the beginning they say they have to lay low and not attract attention but in every single episode they do things that bring attention to themselves. This would have been better as a movie to get straight to the point instead of a series. There are too many fluff scenes and fluff dialogue. The cast is good looking and the location settings are beautiful. They're staying at 5 star hotels and blowing through money fast. Alot of their problems wouldn't have happened if they lived a simple life so I guess the story is not supposed to make sense or be logical. Still a good watch to pass time or before bed.
