Adim Farah

Finally last night I saw the first episode.

I personally think that Adim Farah is an excellent product, from every point of view.

Wise remake, built with grace and intelligence.

Convincing, often superlative acting, by each actor, starting with the protagonists Demet Özdemir (Farah) and Engin Akyürek (Tahir), without forgetting Firat Tanis (Mehmet).

Congratulations to whoever took care of the casting.

Direction, screenplay, scenography, music, editing are simply perfect.

The rhythm leaves no room for a single breath and you are not bored even for a moment.

When the episode ends, you want to start watching it again!

I hope it goes on keeping the same level!

Season 2 (boring and non-sense) -- 2/10.

Writers are confused about what scenario to write. They just write scenario for 2+ hours waste of time. Simply no interesting story to tell in season 2. Very liked actors, but very poor story, it lacks substance!

Season 1 -- 8/10 Forget about the series 'The Cleaning Lady' and don't compare to it when writing reviews. It's like comparing apples and oranges. You got to pretend you have not seen series 'The Cleaning Lady' otherwise you may not like the series 'Adim Farah.'

Good combination of actors -- Demet, Engin, and Firat. Demet does it again with her real superb acting no matter what role she plays. Engin and Firat acting are wonderful and real especially Firat. The series at times is exciting and suspenseful.

I have not seen the original but this seems to be a very promising show. Gripping story, no histrionics so far, great acting by Engin Akyurek, Demet and supporting cast. Good buildup and will definitely watch the series. I like the pace at which the characters were introduced and how their backgrounds will now unfold giving us a glimpse into their past. Excited!

Hope it stays as gripping as the buildup and does not drag unnecessarily which tends to be the case with most shows.

I am very disappointed by the earlier reviews and the conclusions sometimes viewers draw based on their past biases.

I read this is an adaptation of another series called The Cleaning Lady but I've not watched that series before. So, I'm watching this with minimal spoilers. The main cast characters keep me watching this series. Demet as Farah is perfect and she plays her role very well. As a viewer, I feel her emotions and desperation. Engin as Tahir fits perfectly too. He comes across as a hardened killer and his looks and attire is exactly the part. Yet he is kind and lonely and portrays it well in those short moments. The child actor playing Kerimshah is an absolute delight. His huge eyes are very expressive. His smile lights up the screen. There's 2 issues I have with this series from episode 1 to 3 (only 3 episodes released to-date). It's a bit slow paced at some instances that I find myself multi-tasking as I watch. Secondly, the twists and turns in the story can be predictable. I was on spot in predicting some of the developments in the 3 episodes. Now I'm thinking whether my prediction on Kerimshah's father would be correct. All in all, a very watchable series.

Currently, Demet is among the most talented, appreciated and successful actresses in Turkey...The serial film is of high quality, captivating, you don't have time to get bored, it deals with sensitive themes about the life of emigrants, illness, the mafia. The character Farah was predestined to Demet. It's a lesson about pain, fear, despair, but first of all about the courage, value and strength of a woman, of a mother who does anything to see her child healthy. The actors Demet and Engin complement each other, the harmony is great. The film deserves all the awards! Bravo!!!.....Good luck!!...
