Andropausa

After almost two decade in comedy tv shows, Engin Gunaydin finally shows up his humor with this masterpiece. In modern world, perspective to ordinary Turkish people is unfairly judgemantal. In Turkey, people are drinking, having similar troubles with European countries, struggling with same political problems.. ect ect. In this show you can find natural story of ordinary Turkish people with smart jokes and scenes. You can find those kind of stories in all mediterrain countries. This show collect them with Turkish humor and shows us. Give that show a chance. Also performance of Tamer Karadagli (Halit) was fascinating.

I love Engin Gunaydin so so much. I think he is the new Sener Sen for our generation but this series is not good. I don't like Taylan Brothers. Who chooses Tamer Karadagli for this role? I really want to know. Casting is so awful. I hardly watched first 2 episodes.

Tamer Karadagli has an disgusting and awful accent. He doesn't even do that right. He can not act at all. He is always overacting.

Engin wrote the story, his idea was maybe a good one but casting, directing and dialoges are not good. First of all Taylan Brothers are awful directors. Their all jobs are so bad. Why them? There are fine directors in Turkey. Not good but fine.

Do not waste your time with this so called series. I couldn't watch Tamer Karadagli for one second more. And I had to quit.

And by the way it is a very anti-LGBT+ series. And it is not a good look on Engin Gunaydin.

It is the third collaboration between the scriptwriter Engin Gunaydin and the directors Yagmur/Durul Taylan brothers.

The series, which presents a very good script to the audience with a very good tempo, also comes to the fore with its acting.

The only reason people give low ratings and write negative comments is their anger towards Tamer karadagli, which causes the series to be unfairly lynched.

Tamer Karadagli does his duty in this series. He is already a very successful theater actor and voice actor. What he is like in his personal life is beyond our subject.

The children's cast of the series is very successful.

The use of camera and color is quite good in the 4K HDR series.

Sound design is very successful in Dolby Atmos preferred production.

I hope we will watch more TV series and movies with Gunaydin/Taylan partnership.

Watching this series has reinforced my faith in the power of directing in a movie or show; so an average scenario could be elevated to a masterpiece with the right angles and acting employed, technical specifics brought to play, and wonderful use of that energy stuck in the margins of a storyboard. Likewise, a good scenario can be torn down to the ground with a directorship that likes to overspill bits and pieces of filmmaking. This series reminds me of what overspilling can do. It's as if the directors deliberately created gaps in acting or scenes so that they could repeat or amplify certain blanks and plant there the sounds/screams/typologies/moments of stupidity they wanted to brag about knowing. We already see too much affirmation of the very last feature on any random Müge Anli episode on TV. Why are the characters so swollen with banality? Why would we be content with stopping at that much if claiming to do dark comedy?

I started with high hopes. It actually started well. I really like Engin Günaydin and Derya Karadas. But I couldn't watch the nightmare scene and the Tamer Karadagli scene. Both were disgusting and disturbing.

Unfortunately, Tamer chose a career that went downhill from the beginning, starting with "Ferhunde Hanimlar". In that role he had very good start, but after that he stucked with same "stronge but empty man" role in his real life as well as his tv roles. Also he chose the politics and he is not so popular.

I dont understand why Engin Gunaydin did this to himself actually. He is great, creative, multi-talent artist.
