This is probably the best series shot in Turkey since Masum. Acting is just on point, Öykü Karayel particularly nailed the role and her accent. But what I appreciate the most is the director's artistic style and vision. It's a realistic, captivating story with amazing cinematography and solid soundtrack.

By the way, I can't believe there are actually people who criticize this show because "there's lack of diversity". Sorry for being realistic? At least do some research on the country's demographics before claiming such thing. This point of view is no different than casting a black actor for Zeus on Troy. You can't be seriously expecting all countries to make shows according to the diversity in America. The world is bigger than that, you know.

I'm not turkish but I visited several times, the show explains a lot of the contrast in lifestyle and culture present in Turkey. I love that the writing is not biased against any of the social levels and the scenario is very natural and sincere The cinematography, music and acting is excellet. I think personally a lot of international audience can relate to the story as alot of communities have the same polarisation within that feels like the fabric of the society is no longer consistent. Its the same here in Egypt and Middle East in general. We are exposed to same socio-economic and political unbalance, so its no surprise we reach the same outcomes. I can't wait for more episodes to be released! Please keep up the good work.

Have not seen such tremendous work for ages and i see lot of international TV shows. Every scene is so beautifully portrayed. It's provoking.It gets you. It should win lot of awards.Some of the best #ÖykuKarayel performance here. What cast ensemble. Just WOW!!! 👌 🏆

I was pleasantly surprised watching this series. I am an American. Recently I noticed a lot of options on Netflix came from Turkey. I do not know much about Turkey. About two weeks ago, I decided to watch Resurrection - Etrugrul. I am still watching it. I wanted to watch it because I am of mixed race. I am part Native American and part Original Colonist. I was not raised on a Native (or Indian) Reservation. My father took us all over the world. I wanted to watch Tribal conflicts and the introduction of Christianity from another perspective. Anyway, I decided to watch. I loved it. I had no idea Turkey was so modern. I thought it might be a place like some reservations, where people are trying to combine their traditions and culture but the youth want a place in this modern world. The natives leave because they need jobs. They are of course exposed to a different world. I liked Ethos a lot. I liked seeing that the struggle with being human and especially with being a female is common with all of us. That is the best part about the whole series. It shows how we are connected. I also liked reading all the reviews. They opened my eyes to the thread that links us together. I loved the series and can't wait for the next season.

Do you want to be more knowledgable on Turkey? Watch this series. A deep humanitarian story, excellent acting, universal questions, beautifully told!
