Leke

Great Turkish drama with lots of promise that is ended too soon. In fact, the show has a somewhat unfinished feel at the end of episode 9 (the show's conclusion).

Leke tells the story of Yasmin a young orphan who has a deaf half-brother that she is desperately trying to get custody of and pay for a surgery for. She works for an event planning company that unbeknownst to her has a darker side business providing escorts of which (also unbeknownst to Yasmin) her roommate and childhood friend from the orphanage Shirin works for. She meets Cem while working an event for the company he works for. One of his co workers gets very drunk and tries to accost her. To keep her quiet Cem offers her money for which she slaps him. This starts a series of misunderstandings between Cem and Yasmin in which Cem, because of his past experiences with his mother, always assumes the worst of Yasmin.

This Turkish series is very short at just 9 episodes and it deals with some very dark topics: prostitution, police corruption, murder, abuse, orphanages, jealousy, sibling rivalry, adultery, poverty, theft, stalking, invasion of privacy, indenturing, entrapment, kidnapping, etc.

There are some beautiful romantic moments...but more dark moments in this drama. It really keeps you on the edge as more and more bad things happen to Yasmin...and more men try to take advantage. Might be a tough series for women to watch, but there are some hero's in this story.

I recommend this only if you are ok with a less than conclusive finish.

This series is one of my favourite I have no idea why to be honest 😂 I mean the story isn't superunique and some scenes are super cliché however,I really like it and I believe the series deserved more views. Really hope there's next season.

This is more a review on Kanal D. Why does anyone still do business with Kanal D? So now they've canceled season 2 of Leke. They've also canceled other popular series, some even in the middle of the story. It is a terrible network and is badly run. It should go out of business completely. Hopefully another network will pick up this series. Kanal D = rating 0

With regards to the series...it's a great series and just the right balance of intrigue and the good guys win over the bad guys. Would like to see season 2, especially with what Arda did at the end (what a mean, useless, pathetic child he is). So the rating is for the series is shown above.

Very good and touching series. Very good actors, expecally the main characters. They are wonderful together. Even they don't make season 2, final of season 1 wasn't bad.. Actually for main characters was good so may be if they don't show more.

In this series, Melis Sezen starred epochally. We can say that her acting carries the whole series. All the other actors are far below her level of acting. The story is well-designed, but somewhere along the way it is partly lost in the nonsense plot that is in the style of bad crime movies. Isn't the story of a young girl with a difficult past struggling in life enough to make a great drama? Still, I liked the final scene because it's different. And we don't really know how the love story between Jasemin and Cem ended. The series is good in principle, although it suffers from the classic childhood diseases of the Turkish series.
