Filinta

Since it got started in December, I have become a regular follower of Filinta. With its special effects that we have never seen before on TV, successful actors and scenario of good quality, Filinta made a huge breakthrough in Turkey. It is known that Turkish people love detective stories - even some Sultans were fan of it! - and Ottoman touch wouldn't have been better on those stories. I definitely recommend it. I also want to say something about Mehmet Ozgur in role of Kadi Giyaseddin Hatemi. He appears as the mayor of Galata district and also tutor of Filinta Mustafa. What I like about him is that he gives messages showing the good side of Turkish culture with a short scene in each episode. For instance, during the days of a university student girl - Ozgecan Aslan - was raped and murdered by two men, Kadi Giyaseddin had a scene saying that treating women bad is unacceptable. Of course he bases his arguments on Islam but I find him as a very powerful character in that sense.

Unfortunately I don't speak or understand a word of the Turkish language so I am at a disadvantage waiting for the series to be interpreted. So many Turkish films I have left Netflix a message to get the next series.

The writers and producers and the actors are superb in Filinta. I smiled, laughed, cried during the entire 2 seasons.

I'm waiting for season 3. Looking so forward to it.

Despite of not understanding a single word from the Turkish language, my entire family from 8 year old till my father 77 years old watches this on Netflix with great passion. After watching one episode by mistake, we now don't watch anything else on TV. Amazing cast, direction & story on this master piece. Love it!!

For many years we - as Turkish television viewers - have been suffering from TV series full of drama, endless love scenes, fake acting and bad scenarios that repeat themselves.

Filinta, on the contrary, is like a fresh breath on Turkish television. The action scenes are very professional that I've never seen such on another series. Normally if a Turkish TV series becomes popular, the scenario gets extended by the same incidents until the viewers get bored. But in each episode of Filinta there is always a different case that the characters should solve. I don't think that I will ever get bored of this TV series.

In my opinion, Filinta has done what is not done before and this makes it special. The leading actor, Onur Tuna, is beyond my expectations. Maybe he wasn't well known before Filinta but I am sure that he will be now. Other actors are also very successful. I thank all of them for giving us this TV series of good quality.

I've watched 40 episodes of this series..Filinta Also Ertugrul Reformation (great) 170 episodes Also Magnificen Century 100 episodes (good)

The main distraction in all these drama's is the BURNING oil lanterns.. How did they keep the fires going I never see any attendance,
