Zalim Istanbul

It's so hard to review this series. It's very very depressing,irritating and confusing. One of this stories where they make everyone's life turn into deep crap when it's about to get better. But on the series defense it's addicting it's to some extent unique and finally it's getting even better with episode 17 really hope to see a happy ending even if it's gonna be cliche I really wouldn't mind only in this series.

Only gave 9 for ozan. As he made us fell in love with him. Otherwise totally trash after episode 32.i don't understand cenk character was buildup but then he didn't ended up with cemre. Cemre never cared about him. She was always mean. She never gave him the chance. They both had such a great chemistry and nedim and cemre emotions were just platonic. How can she fall in love with him? Such a good series but they ruined the series with their own hands. Ozan dolunay was the best. Only watched till episode 33 because of him.

Actually i am still trying to digest the final... Ok by the title Zalim Instambul one already realizes that series talks about the cruelty...anyway...hated the ending, usually this programs try to give some lessons, but this one was 2 much For me the best ending would be: AGAH KARAZAY- being such an honored man, after so much deception from his wife returns to his hometown and become a very close friend with SeHer, like great neighboors.. Çenk would finally heal from his internal demons and woukd be able to conquer Cemre. Cerem and NEdim after the divorce would feel some how connected, the the 2 couples would be very tight for babu Umut... So yeah i hated the real end

The series started more than promising, extremely interesting and with a very fast pace and curious plot twists. Then, the speed of character and plot development decreased a bit with several exceptions. Still, it was bearable and watchable.

But the end.... The end just destroyed everything good in this series. Was it the COVID crisis that pushed the creators to wrap up the series so fast and abruptly? I hope so. As otherwise I have no other explanation of the worst ending of a series ever (maybe only after Game of Thrones.)

During the whole episodes, audiences watch kind of a love triangle which seems that the girl loves both of the guys, so you can't understand what is happening till the last 2 episodes which are really unbearable and you may think that maybe the scriptwriter was a child who just wanted to write something to finish the story!so don't waste your time cuz at the end you're gonna regret it
