Yabanci Damat

This is a great series !!! Greeks and Turks whether they like it or not are brothers and sisters.

With some previous comments from past emails, true, politicians are destroying both peoples attitude to each other.

I have satellite TV which gets a lot of foreign channels and me wife who is of Greek/Turkish background and her side can relate and loves it so much.

Where can we listen to the music that is played at each beginning of the show, thinks its very lavish and has a real nice harmonic tune to it.

Hope to hear from some people, Tesekkur / Efxapisto ! :)

Before people start ranting at me and accusing me off every "ism" I have nothing against Greeks nor am I a nationalist despite a couple of Greek Cypriots being rude to me I just think the very idea and execution of this programme is unthinkably stupid and unscrupulous and lets start by having reality check list :-

• Yes Greeks and Turks have some similarities though this is often exaggerated, I can say generally and at a glance that Americans and Mexicans, the British and the French have many similarities and yet they each make clear that they are very different from one another and have their moments off conflict

• In the real world both Niko and Nazli will either be hurt with a tragic end or to have to pay a price that will hurt either one of their families ...remember the model Tugce Kazaz till she returned back to her Turkish roots. But to avoid controversy the executors and directors avoided this scenario going in to romantic fantasy in harsh reality there would be no happily ever after.

• All this series does is expose the ignorance and naivety of both the Greek and Turkish fans of this series. I would say part of this is that they both want to be Western European when in reality they are not because it is not in their nature, Greece belongs to the Balkans and Turkey to the Middle East.

• For a good comedy drama that will work without changing the series much instead of foreign son in law how about Bosnali damat ... as Niko at first pretends to be Bosnian to Nazli's family ..now that would off worked well that one change for the series were it could of taken its course.

My checklist is complete please think about the points made before judging or dismissing this review and then rate it please.

I loved it very much, a series from the good time with a nice character. I recommend watching it.

This show is excellent !!!! I am Greek living in Geneva, Switzerland and everyday, I get together with my Greek and Turkish friends and we are watching it, while drinking a glass of ouzo or raki. We are having so much fun, we have so many things in common ! Congratulations for the show, maybe it will come out on DVD one day, i ll buy it certainly. I hope that maybe there will be enough inspiration or imagination to make a second season. I also hope that the Greek producers will make also a comedy on the subject and not always the drama stories that they usually do. And by the way I find that Nehir is extremely beautiful, my Turkish friends prefer Natalia though. Iyi gunler neighbors !

The series is very funny. The poor young people encounter so much interference from their family! It was fun seeing some young actors early in their career. I enjoyed watching this.
