I really liked "The Great Duet" - a bright, exciting series about the life of two police officers. Both heroes MKC and Barca are simply gorgeous! They are brave, strong, muscular, merciless to criminals and infinitely tender to their women. Kerem Bursin is my favorite actor and he played great here. I also liked her partner Ibrahim Celikkol. They complement each other perfectly. The actresses who play their lovers are simply wonderful: beautiful, subtle, sensual, devoted. The film subtly shows the relationships in a family where both parents are busy at work, where dangerous work hinders their family happiness. In this film, Kerem plays the father, how brilliantly he copes with this role. He has a wonderful son who loves his father so much, admires him so much, dreams of his father and mother being happy together. This curly-haired boy charmed me! The end of the film seemed a little blurry to me, I was waiting for the continuation!

This really is an action packed Turkish police drama that pairs together two amazing actors, Ibrahim Celikkol and Kerem Bursin. It is loosely based on the American Tango and Cash and retains a lot of the humor of the original film. There are two real scene stealers in the series, the actors who play MKC's son (Fuat Fatih Odabasi) and Barca's father (Engin Senkan). Especially Engin Senkan whose portrayal of Feridun Barca really gave a lot of heart to the series...from beginning to end.

I don't want to take anything away from the performances by either Özge Gürel or Öykü Karayel, especially özge as Nilüfer Can, which were wonderful...but this really is a testosterone heavy series with an emphasis on the unlikely bromance between reluctant partners MKC and Barca. This trickles down to the father son relationships between MKC and his son and up to Barca and his retired police chief father Feridun.

The action was wonderful and very well choreographed, but the real beauty of this series is the relationships between the Can and Barca family members and their family.

I loved the lighthouse neighborhood and how the neighbors took care of one another.

My biggest complaint about the series is the ending. I don't know if it was due to COVID or cancellation, but there are a lot of loose ends at the end of this short run series (12 episodes). They tried to leave the audience with a story goes on feeling...but it just really felt disappointingly unfinished.

Don't let the end deter you, I highly recommend this series...but be prepared for its rather abrupt conclusion. Also, starting with episode 10 the rest of the series has a different feel or tone and leads right up to the abrupt ending. If you become a fan you will appreciate the final voice over and the reality brotherly feel of the ending.

THIS show is extremely good. It's action packed and heavy on humor. The perfect combination, nothing is too much, nothing is a waste of time. It's truly one of the best series I've watched in a long time.

I'm extremely saddened that the show got canceled (which I don't understand at all).

I recommend this immensely. If you like an action, comedy and family orientated show, this is everything you're looking for. The actors and actresses did an amazing job, and I will now be a strong follower of the ones I didn't watch much before.

Watch it, everyone!

I loved the characters. Actors did a great job.

Some of the scenes a bit unrealistic.

The end is disappointing. Doesn't make sense. Maybe I missed some detail due to translation. I understand the show has been cancelled. A pity.

Loved seeing IbrahimC and KeremB working together. They both are my favorite actors. Great team. Wonderful story and wonderful acting. Good job. Loved it. I recommend this series to everyone.
