Vidas Cruzadas

This series had the potential to be a damn masterpiece. For the first and most of the second season, it was an engrossing drama about tragic characters with stories we cared about, superbly and subtly acted, well-paced, with moving moving and thoughtful cinematography. The central conflicts and questions in the characters' lives were interesting but not far-fetched. What happened between the second and the third season was beyond comprehension. It felt like another set of writers and directors took over and completely ruined it, made it like a cheap version of Game of Thrones, with story twists that were completely out of place and character revisions that were also completely out of step with what they had spent 40 hours building. At the end, we are just left with exasperation. I'm so disappointed!!! The first and second seasons were brilliant but they ruined it trying to go for a cheap thrill. Still, the acting, especially by Murat ( Teoman Kumbaracibasi),Umut (Alican Yücesoy) Tarik ( Tugrul Cetiner) and others was top notch. Shame on the writers/ producers who mangled the last season.

I enjoyed the movie until Eylul was brought in. I felt terribly sad for Naz. I saw her as being given the short end of the stick. Naz did not pursue Ali Najet, he pursued her. And after giving him her whole heart he turns around and stumps on her heart. She not only gave her heart to Ali Najet, but she loved Kaan as her own son long before Ali Najet pursued her. Then he turned into a real jerk after Eylul came back into the picture. If she was his true love; why didn't he look for her before attempting to build a relationship w/Naz. I would like to think these shows are made to capture the attention of people and how it relates close to being surreal. But no, Ali Najet continues to crush Naz's heart by carrying on w/his girlfriend Eylul. This guy was planning on tearing Naz's heart into pieces right up to the day before their wedding, only she was murdered the night prior. The jerk was spared. And not only was he hurting Naz and making a fool out of her big time, he was also breaking his own son Kaan's heart. I lost respect for Ali Najet when his character became a real jerk!

I loved the first 2 seasons like most people but found Season 3 gripping too. It was definitely rushed through and a lot of things were happening simultaneously. The director should have added more episodes instead of the urgency to finish off haphazardly.

I loved Ali Nejat in first 2 seasons and hated him in Season 3. Such a selfish guy. How could he think of breaking up with Naz???

But this show is definitely worth watching. This is my third Turkish series after Luv me as I am and What happens to my family and this is the clear winner.

Eyyul left Ali for many years after Baris dead and come back to realized that she still in love with Ali. Waoooo. He used Naz as a babysitter, Naz stay with Kaan, Naz take Kaan to your house and I kiss you in the forehead because you are a good person. He killed Naz in my opinion.

A beautiful series to the part where Ali ends up on the beach with Eylül. This completely destroyed the series. I had no desire to look at other parts. Eylül was only to remain a friend to create the car. If Naz had to die, Ali should have loved lawyer Nihan. The story with my mother is very nice again, but unfortunately, by making Ali a traitor to Naz, the series lost its meaning. If the series was without Eylül and had a few extra parts to catch the killer Naz, it would be a great series. Rated up to 21 episodes 10 stars from the next episode 5 stars. Such a shame. The series was set very high.
