Alef

Watched 2 episodes last night. A real perfect crime series. Well done all the cast and directors.

No Spoiler just

I can see why this show is different after watching 3 ep First of all the show follow's the american Rule of design the story which is new in turkey as my experiance , clearly looks like the FX Show "Fargo" and many other mini series in our time

But this is not the only reason the cinematogrphy , acting , soundtracks , the good choices of Songs thats follow the tradtions of turkey

All of this Makes this show different and i should tell you that this Show is Good for Some people thats try to enter the turkish shows or they saw other bad shows from turkey like netflix's ones "the protector"

Very good try if alef complete in the same way

It's reminds me True Detective Season 1.There is a similar tone.

Firstly the show is so different from the classical turkish tv shows. The story telling, characters, scenario, cinematography... It's so creative and I think it's one of the best example of turkish criminal series. From time to time it's losing it's tempo but then it making amends. In the final episode, I was so excited. I suggesting for everyone.

I really like this series. It was quite intense, gruesome, brooding. Not actually fast paced but yet catches my attention from start to end. It did remind me of a combination of True Detective and Seven. The series brings together 2 detectives who are different from each other in many aspects and we see their difficulties to work with each other but must combine their resources in order to track down a gruesome serial killer. The killer's motives are tied up with some deviations of Islamic teachings - I found it hard to follow as this is new to me and had to watch certain parts again to understand this part. It was interesting. Whilst a short series, it does cater for sharing some personal aspects of both the detectives lives that affects their actions and characters. Pretty good series. I have now started on season 2 which I realize is completely independent of season 1.
