Who Were We Running From?

I am so grateful to find an Eco-feminst production from Turkiye. I am fed up with the father and son conflicts and praising of patriarch in the Turkish media. This serial was a fresh breath to take although there is still some issues concerning patriarch manifested by police, guns, father's black car etc..

Though i would like to see more of how did the mother and daughter decorated their private rooms. The rooms awaked the curiousity and hinted some mystery but at the end the rooms were plain and empty. Of course they could stay only for a short while in each hotel and had no chance to build a private space, yet i wish i could see more authenticity in the rooms.

Intertextuality between such a simple kids Classic Bambi is stunning. The serial earns my 8 shiny stars.

7 very useless episodes! Total waste of time!

Very bad scenario !

The acting is okay, but the story is so simple and bad that we watched it until the end with the thought that we might be surprised if something happens. But the result is that they are alienated from watching movies! This means that Netflix now accepts any project without selection.

Even when playing games on the phone, time did not pass. I wish I had the opportunity to ask how my favorite actors accepted this project.

Thank you to every single employee for their hard work. I hope the team was able to work with pleasure during the shoot. I hope you have some fun.

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. 👏🏻

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!

The bizarre relationship between mom and daughter kept me watching. It was the strangest combo. The daughter was super strange. Seriously naive. The mom was a rich lunatic. I know someone like that, so it was fascinating to see how they tossed money around. The chase was crazy. The mom thinking someone wants her daughter...well she was right. The dad was trifling. Both women are gorgeous. I also like how it was filmed with the interviews and such. I do have to say, after the 2nd episode, I kept thinking is every other episode going to be similar with them checking in a hotel and blah blah blah. It was. But then the chase started which made it more interesting. I wanted the girl to break free and say mama is crazy, but she didn't, she was naive for too long. I'm assuming if they do a season 2, she'll find her dad. What a bizarre relationship show, but oh so true with some rich families. Sad, but true.
