El Turco

El Turco is a masterpiece. The plot is very interesting and very intriguing, it reveals real historical events by personal stories, fights between christians and muslis, between goods and evil. Scenography, costumes and soundtrack are amazing.

The actors have been chosen perfectly .The most impressive thing is a performance of Can Yaman as Hasan Balaban. He deserves many prizes and glory.

The action is very intensive, I couldn't stop watching El Turco until the end. I cried, was so excited and I needed a time to recover from these so strong emotions. I'm looking forward to for season 2 and recommend to everyone to watch ElTurco.

I highly recommend this series to all. This series is very well made and all actors involved worked with great passion.

Both protagonists have a great role with much to tell. A beautiful romance without making it cheesy.

Hassan is an educated man. Brave, but very vulnerable. Can Yaman portrayed him with honor to an emotional character....but not at all overdone! Such a pure an authentic actor is seldomly seen. Also his fighting scenes were great.

Gloria, (Greta Ferro) is the one who takes this story to modern times. Her femine energy is an example as well as a tribute to all women.

Story well build. Every scene is meaningful.

Speciale applause for Will Kemp.

Soecial applause screenplay and direction Special applause to set design.

Only one aspect that was a bit off...the very native villagers had all different accents. From posh English to Irish and even American.. that was odd and thus distracting

Great watch!!

This is fantastic international series with absolutely gripping plot which starts at frame one and finishes at last frame of episode qui ding plot to opening of potential season 2. Can Yaman has delivered master performance which glues you to the screen from get go. His portrayal of torment and pain leaves you breathless while on other side his performance in love scenes with Gloria are completely convincing. Greta Ferro delivers incredible heroin Gloria with complete conviction and Will Kemp and Kieran O'Reilley deliver stunning antagonists. The shout also goes to Magnus Samuelson and his performance as Gunther.... This is must watch and must season 2 project.

El Turco is a world-class series. Everything is great: the production, the script, the director and cameramen, I would like to especially mention the production designer Domenic Sika, the hairstylist Desiree Corridoni, and of course the magnificent international cast, which includes actors from 11 countries, I applaud everyone standing up!!! Absolutely all the actors played their hearts out. Bravo!!! Can Yaman appeared completely different, completely new and how good he is in the drama, how much work was put into the role of Balaban by Can to achieve the result that we see on the screen. Bravo!!!

After watching the first episode one needs to go on watching and when the episodes end one needs more. I lijed everything of this series, the acting, the costumes, the historical background, the atmosphere...it's intriguing. It's historical but also a bit of a fairy tale with the eternal fight between good and evil. I liked all the actors but, since I have watched the previous series of Can Yaman, I must say that this series shows his growth as an actor and his multiple talents. He really worked a lot and learnt a lot for this role and one can see the good results of his committment. One special mention for Domenico Sica for the amazing scenography. Applause for Greta Ferro and all the cast.
