Asas da Ambição

This show has a lot of plot holes that could have been addressed relatively easily. It kind of takes away from the series but still...

Two outstanding performances are from Miray Daner (Asli) and Güliz (Sifanur Gül). In general actresses in the series are really good where the main male actors bore you to death with their soulless, anaemic approach to their roles. When Ibrahim Çelikkol (Kenan) and Burak Yamantürk (Selim) are in the same scene you just want the cringefest to end.

Other problems with the show is, characters behave inconsistently and no back story for Asli was presented of why she does what does which is very needed in that context.

Still, an enjoyable piece that excels at building up tension.

I would've rated this a 7 but to offset the needlessly low score I rated it a bit higher.

The script is really bad, after the first episode it has nothing to do with reality.

The first problem is that the main character goes and talks to everyone, lies to everyone and no one asks his friend why he did this or why he did it.

The second problem is they use today's technology but never use technology when they need to control who is lying or who is doing it.

I haven't seen this coming. Surprisingly good! The series shows the battle between a crow (figurative) and a lion (fig.), high society and poor people, someone who reached everything in life and someone who wants to reach everything in life. A clash of generations. It has a beautiful and artistic cinematography, gorgeous casting and amazing soundtrack. The music adds so much tension to the story, it really catches the attention. This is a high quality production and you can see, hear and feel it. The only weak point is the script, but this is a Netflix production. Nowadays, most of Netflix Originals has problems with their script. It is nothing special for this series. Bearing this in mind, As The Crow Flies brings a high quality drama with gorgeous talents and an overwhelming soundtrack to the streaming platform.

It is obvious that the production company made its best for this series. Best places, clothes, make up, cars, buildings etc . The actors and the director perform good. However, the script tells us that the main character makes brilliant plans and she is always lucky. Everybody can be manipulated by text messages.

Yes there are a lot of inconsistencies and plot holes on the script but story takes you in anyway and gives a good perspective around how fake social media can easily defamate a person/carrier.
