Üç Kurus

I don't know why my review of the work in terms of this app hasn't been posted But I'll make it short the best Turkish work I've seen of this kind

My feelings continued to change throughout the episode I was laughing crying afraid excited and shocked How did that happen until the last episode?

All characters are written perfectly I do not know who I will thank Kartal Caka Efe Tekin Irfan Kahraman\Ferhan Sensoy Bahar Leyla my sweetheart Neriman Oktay Baybars Azade Sesu Sahin Rusen Halide Cetin Kilic Korkmaz Mesut I love you all.

I won't forget the soundtrack either Everything is perfect perfect.

The first 10 episodes were a masterpiece. Then it started getting more and more clichéd with bright colors disappearing and characters becoming either plain stupid (women) or utterly selfish (men). In the end, it's just bang bang bang and tough guys' jokes like "Is everyone dead yet? Dude, I'm not even tired". I was so puzzled by this sudden change of style that I even did some research to find out the reason. Apparently, the team of screenwriters changed four times with Murat Uyurkulak leaving after the 12th episode, and Berrin Tekdemir joining after episode 15, which has to mean that the show pretty much hung on Uyurkulak's writing, though it's just a hypothesis of mine.

Anyways, as I have already said, the first ten episodes were, as Kartal put it, "kaymak" (the Turkish for very thick cream). It was a very well-written crime mystery set in an authentic gypsy neighborhood with folk music, rhinestones, leopard coats, dancing bears, and ruminations upon racial pride. It's a shame they stripped the show of what was so special about it, making it a mainstream revenge shooter we've seen so many times before.

There are 28 episodes in this Turkish series about a tight knit gypsy neighborhood in Istanbul, a serial killer and a strait-laced police officer who wants to bring down the mob. In episode 18, the series jumps three years in time giving episodes 18-28 a very different feel from episodes 1-17.

Great acting and an interesting addition of a serial killer make this a must see Turkish series, especially for fans of shows like Icerde.

The overall story is about Kartal (Eagle), a bit of a two bit criminal who lives in a large family home in his tight knit gypsy community in Istanbul. Kartal has lots of responsibilities...he has set himself up as the head of the community, which comes with financial obligations. In Kartal's household is his father Oktay-who used to make a living playing his clarinet...but due to a tragedy in the past lost his arm and is now an alcoholic pensioner, his aunt Neriman-who has been nurturing and stepped in to be parent since Kartal's mother passed away and her brother checked out after loosing his arm, His sister Layla-who works as a part time bartender and also nurtures the family, his younger brother Sahin-who was sent to college but really just wants to be like his brother Kartal, and his sweet and innocent cousin Halide. Kartal is haunted and driven by his past...and motivated by his family and neighborhood.

Kartal's nemesis is a young police officer named Efe, who is determined to put Kartal in jail and shut down all of his illegal businesses. Efe is running from his own personal demons in the shape of his father, who he views as a dirty lawyer. In the process of putting some heat on Kartal...Efe meets Layla and boy do the sparks fly! These two smolder on the screen and I kept coming back for more. Easy on the eyes and chemistry for days, I'd recommend this series for the romance between these two alone! Efe looses his mentor and his mentor's wife causing him to make some tough decisions that have serious ramifications for his job in the special crimes unit.

Now let's talk about the serial killer...I have seen a lot of Turkish series and this is the first time I have seen a serial killer and it was handled wonderfully! The serial killer had great motivation, left an unmistakable signature at their crime scenes and served the wonderful purpose of uniting two foes to catch them! This really elevated the series for me.

I fell in love with Aslihan Malbora, the actress who plays Layla, when I saw her in Her Yerde Sen (another series I loved) and I thought this series allowed her even more range for her acting.

This series had a satisfying ending and I would put this on my recommendation list especially if you like crime dramas...but really this series has it all love, family, mental illness, abuse, gambling, smuggling, police, mobsters, musicians, interpersonal struggles, and a serial killer! I think you will enjoy this if you are a fan of Turkish dramas or if you are new to them.

I like this series for its wackiness, growing camaraderie between the crime boss and commissioner as they try to solve a serial killing together, a double romance brewing and very quirky lifestyle of a tightly knit gypsy community. Acting by the entire cast is good. The songs and soundtrack are quirky too. Sometimes I find myself thrown back into Icerde soundtrack and sometImes I even get hints of Phantom of the Opera! The series is fast moving, funny, at times over the top making me laugh and yet gripping and intense. I'm only at episode 6 now and hope the series continues to be good.

Some people are criticizing the show too much as they keep comparing it to The Pitt. It is quite good and will get better and better each episode. The actors are good, storyline is good, we have some of the actors from The Pitt which is nice. People need to be patient and give the makers of the show a chance.
