Börü

I enjoyed this series since it stands out a bit from the typical international series in the genre, mainly by being Turkish.

I enjoyed the depth of (some of) the characters and it were interesting to follow them. I enjoyed seeing a strong patriotism similar to American, but in a country I actually don't know too much about. I have visited Turkey as a beach and sun tourist from that - the patriotism didn't feel over the top in the movie. They are a proud people with a strong spirit and quite funny.

Some dialogue were a bit stale but quite enjoyable. The action scenes felt good and not over the top. The series had a nice tension and feeling throughout the episodes and only a few times did it feel a bit too slow.

I would very like to see more episodes of this series if possible.

I enjoy military drama type of movies and series.

After seeing couple of turkish "action" series, i didnt have any hope in this one, my expectation was low but what in tarnation, this is good and realism is high.

The only problem is they are picturing the terrorists in the first episodes as like complete idiots, i dont expect turks to picture them any better, but for the sake of realism, those terrorists are tough and trained and they live in the mountains, they are wild, one of the wildest in the world.

Overall, very worthy.

That's a job far better than ordinary, mediocre, too long and copy of each other Turkish series. Theme, shooting angles, colors, editing, in world-class. But if it was Hollywood, I was going to give it 6. Generally, an average job.

But also there is still some problems we need to talk about it.

But first, i have to say something important. Turks give exaggerated high scores to their films, series on Imdb. Most of Turks are nationalist, I understand. But they need to understand this is an international platform, and by doing this, they damage their own movies, series. Because such a high score creates a high expectation. And of course then the disappointment and worst one, hatred against Turkish movies, series.

Now lets continue.

First one, visual effects, still not even good. There are really no special effects companies that do great work in Turkey? If not, consider other options, other companies. This is a huge problem. The cgi for such a series is incredibly important. There are few scenes that already require special effects and they were awful, sorry.

Second problem. Dialogues. They are not American, they are Turks. I guess Turan and chief was the most natural characters. Others were too much American on their dialogues. I mean, dialogues are artificial. I felt like I'm watching an American movie.

Third problem, sounds. Why are gunshots so low? In general, the gun sounds are low. And i guess gun sounds and bullet bounce sounds is taken from games. They were horrible and incredible artificial. Unacceptable. An element that reduces quality so badly.

Sometimes the music is over the sound effects. In the fight scenes for example, sometimes rising and sometimes decreasing. It's really annoying.

And generally sounds are not well organized. Sounds are the most important factors that determine quality, imho.

So, what I saw from the first episode, it's worth watching. I wonder about the next 5 episodes.

Edit: Now I've seen all of it, 6 episodes. The tempo is low in some episodes. In four, for example. But in last 2 episodes, it was better. Looks like will continue as a cinema film, and i will watch. Not wonderful but good job. I'm more hopeful about movie.

Nicely filmed, good actors, personality sometimes had hard time to follow the conversation with subtitles and was a bit hard end.

I respect all the opinion but please be critical instead of giving automatically 9 or 10 stars as a rating! I know this happens often at Turkish films and series but this needs to stopped.

This is not only bad for people who watch it with high expactations but also bad for producers and directors in order to improve the series, because this series is not that good as it claims to be. You're basically smashing your own window!

I noticed that the sound effects were unnatural which really bothered me. The acting was not that bad, but there could have been better actors choosen. Also worth noticing: the episodes takes way too long time and the attention span will only be worse looking at the (predictable) plot.

The first episode didn't gave me the feeling to watch the series further but i believe they can fix it as I see potency.

I was thinking of giving this series a 6 but gave it a 1 because of the exaggerated rating so it can be reduced.

Edit: typo.
