Kurtlar Vadisi

This series had a "wow" effect in Turkey, Azerbaijan, and many countries and was very popular.

It was an interesting, mysterious and very good series.

If you are interested in Mafia/Agent movies, must-see. The story of every character can be another series. While this addictive series featuring on TV, all streets and avenues were deserted, just as corona-times.

Kurtlar Vadisi, somewhat accurately translated as "The Valley of the Wolves" is simply the biggest hit in the Turkish TV Series Industry for the last two years.

It's plot is long and complex but I will try to summarize it. It tells about the control and organization of the Mafia, held by one supreme Council (Konsey), The council is led by a very professional and seemingly clean businessman Mehmet "The Baron" Karahanlı. The council's main objective is to promote the Turkish mafia and other dirty work including everything from drugs to politics over other countries' mafia and to practice quiet control over the republic's government.

On the other hand, also a fictional and complex organization, the KGT(Kamu Güvenliği Teşkilatı - Public Security Organization) exists to protect the republic's rights and to provide security from the other forces (In this case the council) acting in various fields. Ali Candan, who is an agent for the KGT, who had been acting undercover in Kosovo is called back to Istanbul and assigned to his new mission... Operation Valley of The Wolves. He is supposed to undergo some operations to change his face and he is provided with his new identity Polat "Can Polat" Alemdar. He commences his mob career and slowly rises to the top using his agent techniques and brains. He enters the council and he at last becomes the baron himself.

Kurtlar Vadisi has some of everything: Passion, patriotism, ambition, love and treachery. It even has some "manhood" culture for the average Turkish man... It tells the truth about some relations regarding some of the governors(of course names are never disclosed and everything is claimed to be TOTALLY fictional. ) to secret organizations and mafia. The Masonic Lodge, The Great Middle East Project, Bloomsberg, Sun Valley, Illuminati, MOSSAD, CIA, are some of the real world organizations that are mentioned. Other organizations are also referred to.

ALthough some find it untruthful, too surreal, and too "manly" to watch, Kurtlar Vadisi is exciting with outstanding plot line, cutting-edge gunfights, referral to real-world organizations and current events, with funny quotes and characters used in place. All of these and the spectacular soundtrack prepared by none other than Gökhan Kırdar(the music is comprised of Turkish folk music used in mixture with Kırdar's instrumental and deep style) make Kurtlar Vadisi the latest phenomenon of Turkish TV Series history.

This series is one of the best cult series in Turkish television history. It has a potential to be watched by a wider audience around the world with a good English version of it.

The story begins with a classical mafia story. An agent (Polat Alemdar), who is trained by the deep state of Turkey, is sneaking into the dark Turkish mafia by saving the life of one of the mafia leaders (Suleyman Cakir). Although we see Suleyman Cakir as a strong mafia leader in the beginning we later understand that he is like a pawn in this mafia world. The strongest person in this world is Karahanli or Baron. All the media know him as a businessman but actually, he manages all the mafia world in Turkey. He has a council which controls as much money as half of the national income of Turkey. The council plays quite an active role in the politics of Turkey and the Middle East. Each council member is a strong mafia leader and they all have interesting stories which shape their personality. Until episode 74, we see the crucial face of this mafia world, how the government treats the mafia, the rise of Polat Alemdar in this world, the development of different emotional stories by different characters, and a love story between a lawyer, Elif and the main cast Polat Alemdar who needs to decide whether he was a mafia leader or an agent or a normal person who loves his country. In episode 74, in the eyes of Polat, we are starting to get to know the people or another council which is more powerful and decides the political issues, wars, rebels around the world. Until this point, we understand that all the mafia world and the baron Karahanli are also pawns in this whole chess game. Finally, we turn our faces into a new war between Polat Alemdar and this strong council. Between Episode 74 and 98 (Final), we see the structure of this council, how they can easily create a war in the Middle East and benefit from it. At this point, the series focuses more on the agent side of Polat Alemdar not the mafia leader side of him. A surprise in the final episode is that Andy Garcia and Sharon Stone are cast as the leaders of this council.

Valley of the Wolves is definitely a classical series which deserves to be watched by people all around the world. Maybe it is not so professional. We can not see a high budget here but once you start to watch it from the first episode it will take you into its captivating world and give you an unforgettable experience.
