Another Self

So...I was watching this Turkish production and i was quite surprised by the content. The show includes a little bit of "Bert Hellinger's," Constellation Therapy. I have actually witnessed this work in real life.

A group of people...often strangers gather just like the did in the show. The strangest things happen, clearing and memories. There is a person that works as a moderator, and stories are unpacked. The results are quite startling.

The show is quite true to the technique.

When i first started to wstch the series, i thought the script was kind of soft but considering this is a translation, i really can"t be to hard.

I think the series is worth the watch.

I enjoyed strong bold storyline, the cast was great and the main actress incredible. Definitely makes you think about how your past effects your present.

I watched it for the first time dubbed in English, the second time in its original language and it is a difference from heaven to earth. The original voices are full of emotions, they are part of their performance and this series is all about feelings. All three actresses were perfectly cast, they are extremely talented and their chemistry is great. Tuba Buyukustun is one of the most beautiful and best actresses in the world. She performs naturally and passionately and looks like a Goddess. The main theme of this series is how the acts of our ancestors affect people, which are somehow stored in the memory of our body, and how to accept them in order to understand what happens to us in our lives and move forward.

It was a beautiful series, especially the beautiful performance of Murat Boz and Tuba. Among the Turkish series, Hack had a creative story, this series is because of Netflix. I hope we will see more of these beautiful series and the presence of Murat Boz in Turkish cinema will increase.

The three main stars bring some impressive acting chops to this series, but for me the storyline that was the big draw was the one between...Ada, Toprak and Selim. Although the slow burn between Sevgi and Fikret is the storyline I was really rooting for.

At the heart of this story is a very close friendship between three friends...successful surgeon Ada, lawyer Sevgi and social media influencer/mom Leyla. The story begins with Sevgi's cancer treatment no longer working. She ropes her friends into exploring a more spiritual form of healing in Ayvalik with a healer who delves into your family's past wounds. Eventually he spiritually touches all three women and exposes wounds from their pasts which is affecting their lives in the present.

The gorgeous setting in Ayvalik, Turkey is just one of the many reasons to watch this series that (thus-far) has only eight episodes. Which leads me to share that I wasn't thrilled with where the series ends. It is set up to go on to a second season...which I hope it does, but if this is the end I am sad because it ends on a pretty sad note for all three women.
