Filinta

Despite of not understanding a single word from the Turkish language, my entire family from 8 year old till my father 77 years old watches this on Netflix with great passion. After watching one episode by mistake, we now don't watch anything else on TV. Amazing cast, direction & story on this master piece. Love it!!

For many years we - as Turkish television viewers - have been suffering from TV series full of drama, endless love scenes, fake acting and bad scenarios that repeat themselves.

Filinta, on the contrary, is like a fresh breath on Turkish television. The action scenes are very professional that I've never seen such on another series. Normally if a Turkish TV series becomes popular, the scenario gets extended by the same incidents until the viewers get bored. But in each episode of Filinta there is always a different case that the characters should solve. I don't think that I will ever get bored of this TV series.

In my opinion, Filinta has done what is not done before and this makes it special. The leading actor, Onur Tuna, is beyond my expectations. Maybe he wasn't well known before Filinta but I am sure that he will be now. Other actors are also very successful. I thank all of them for giving us this TV series of good quality.

I've watched 40 episodes of this series..Filinta Also Ertugrul Reformation (great) 170 episodes Also Magnificen Century 100 episodes (good)

The main distraction in all these drama's is the BURNING oil lanterns.. How did they keep the fires going I never see any attendance,

Addicted to Turkish drama....Love the horse scenes Robin Morton ,...Kila,MT 2018

I watched the entire series Filanta which up to the last few episodes was a very good historical drama, until it made serious antisemitic references to the Elders of Zion who supposed to be Jews ( a Star of David was clearly seen) trying to run the world. The last episode had the founder of the state of Israel Theodore Herzl as the main evil leader. Sadly perpetuating to Turkish audiences the spread of this ancient libel against the Jewish people.

I have never watched anything better or similar to this... It's captured my imagination and attention like nothing else I don't speak Turkish although I am a true student of world history and cultures and the Ottoman slant to this has totally mesmerised me. Compelling and emotional Complex and so non-formulaic in the US or UK style. I didn't know I was starting on what is Turkey's finest TV series It deserves all my attention and heart. 9 out of 10 stars

Astonishing
