Yesilçam

I believe Cagatay is moving from success to another. He is not acting but living up the character, the era, etc in an outstanding way. He is one of a kind and with unmatching charisma. The whole castt and director too did a marvellous job. This was a smashing record.

Yesilcam is a great series which is well researched and brings nostalgia as it focuses on political atmosphere and how the history of Turkey affected the process of film making there. Characters are so well crafted especially the multidimensional character of Semih who's got some really good dialogues by the way. It's a great period drama which tells you a story of relatively sincere people that used to exist at that time. It's not just a show about how filmmaking used to take place those days and how Yesilcam was a thing of pride to people as Turkey became the fourth largest producer of films in the world at that time, but it's also a show which tells the history of Turkey from the perspective of a film producer in an enjoyable ride for all.

I will talk about neither plot, nor production but I will sum it up with one sentence "Yesilcam is the best Cagatay Ulusoy series which released in any digital platform so far."

It was a very well-crafted script. Fresh, light and dynamic. No one realized that this hours had already gone by. We also loved how multilayered Semih's character turned out to be.

I am already a fan of period pieces and I was expecting such work for a long time. The atmosphere of the period was successfully mirrored. Decor, costumes, makeup, etc. I found everything very harmonious. It's just that their accents were more modern; I'd like them to be treated more sensitively.

Other than that, I really enjoyed watching it. I've always been curious about Yesilcam's behind-the-scenes. For me, I would say that this series has filled a big gap. Not to mention being shot by a director like Cagan Irmak.
