Mahsun J

As a courier, I believe that I will really enjoy following this series of Mahsun Karaca. I am admiring a series that features a character who is a motorcycle courier for the first time, as they have never examined or included motorcycle couriers on any platform or in any work before. Although we already follow Mahsun Karaca fondly, I am really proud that he has such a project on various platforms. Even though the subject is a bit strange, it is a really fun production. I wish Mahsun Karaca success in his life. I hope this series and him will come to much better places..........................

The movie "Mahsun J" surprised me by being a production that was far beyond my expectations. It had an exciting tempo from beginning to end and I watched with great curiosity what would happen in each episode. The development of the characters and the gripping story constantly manage to draw the audience to the screen. Especially the moments full of surprises and unexpected events make the series even more interesting. At the end of each episode, I feel great excitement and curiosity for the next episode. I am eagerly waiting for the new season and I want it to be released as soon as possible. If it continues to maintain this tempo and quality, I believe it will be an unforgettable production in the long run.

These guys are the best storytellers I've seen in a long time, that's for sure. They do a great job at reflecting the problems and lives of these complex, unique and very real characters. I want to mention Sultan (eniste) especifially here, Ayca Damgaci blew my mind with this role. The way she mimics that spesific type of character with all its male mannerisms is incredible. I'll be sure to follow her works more closely.

I appreciate this series for taking a wild swing while most others dig around with a spoon. It's refreshing and I believe it would be encouraging for others in the industry. Raw, honest, fresh, fun with a capability of taking it all the way to the darkest side while still making fun of it all. That makes Mahsun J unique.

Still I have some criticism, of course. The storytelling may be top notch but the story is very awkward at places. Like bahar's husband's storyline feels like a whole different show with a slower pace and very shallow vibe, like those 3 hour dramas on mainstream tv. And I don't get why leyla's character has to be so unlikable and irrelevant. Like deniz said in the last episode, I find myself saying "cok gerek vardi" at Leyla at times.(Deniz is one of my favorites btw) I get it, she's the straight man of the show but man, every time she talks it's to berate mahsun or express displease. I'd like her to be more layered especially how much screen time she's given. It's like there are many failed attempts at connecting leyla to the main story but it just doesnt happen. The quality dropped slightly with every episode and now I feel like it's a 7/10 for me instead of my original 9/10 unless they make a glorious finale that ties all the mess together, but I also like to be encouraging so 9 from me to you guys. Very solid effort overall.

We all know Japanese people are getting the utmost praise for not being the inventors themselves, but being the innovators, developers. They take an idea and perfectionise it as they can. These guys here also accomplish a similar task in such quality, that makes me so proud as a fellow Turkishman.

The creators obviously inspired from Thomas Jane's Hung (2009), but within two reasons this product gloriously ascends and easily passes its predecessor by leaving it way behind in the comedic scale.

First reason is the universe of the story; because taking the idea from the boring, ever-repeating suburban life of Michigan, USA and bringing it to the lower class, hard struggle streets of Istanbul, Turkiye single handedly builds up and enriches the show with the diversity of possibilities that Istanbul's chaotic and colorful environment provides.

The second and the obviously heavier reason is the lead, Mahsun Karaca. Domestically he is known with his kinda unique humor in his sketch comedy bits, so the creators gave him a lot of space and independence as it is seen. I just finished watching the first two newly released episodes and believe me he delivers. The improvisation level is so well adjusted and when he starts to bring the goods, he brings the golden ones. Especially in the second episode, I couldn't shut my chin up because of his punches. I already feel sorry for the non-Turkish speaking audience, I hope not much will be lost in translation.

I know I am speaking very highly about this, but this is the actual first time I ever bothered to write a review on Imdb. The other cast members, cinematography, score, the whole production is not falling behind also, it is clearly above the acceptable production quality of average Turkish film-making level.

I am waiting fingers crossed for the later episodes and praying they won't mess this up, but I can comfortably say Mahsun J is a legend in the making. Also I feel a little honored and joyful to be the first to write a review for this. So far this team made a believer out of me. Good job guys, two thumbs up! My only tiny criticism is about the name of the series, it should have been "46,5" and became perfect :)) Enjoy!

Mahsun Karaca started with short videos and proved himself in the field of films and TV series. The scenario does not have an exaggerated story, what makes this series special is that a YouTube phenomenon can make such a good comedy. While the comedy projects of old stars such as Cem Yilmaz, Ata Demirer and Ahmet Kural are fading, Mahsun Karaca now clearly shows who owns the throne. I also liked Yosi Mizrahi's acting very much, I can say that the character he portrays is almost himself. Mahsun Karaca, who makes very high quality comedies with very small budgets, gave the necessary answer for the industry.
