A Lenda de Shahmaran

Just started this series, so I don't know how it will end, but I like the atmosphere, the sense of magic, the delightful images and the charm of the lead actors. I can see why it's too slow for some, and a bit cryptic, but it's this legend style that makes it appealing, actually. Like a bedtime story.

That's all I wanted to say, but it looks that a review has to be longer, that's not a good idea, cause let's face it, how many of us have the time to read all these long reviews?

But let's see, I can add that some things shoud' ve been worked out better: that mysterious character that is supposed to be scary, that is rather funny, so it failed in creating the necessary threat.

I do not understand why people rate this as cringe or stupid. This is a very beautiful and romantic piece of art, where a modern woman meets an old legend.

Both main actors are stunning in their own way. Their love is, as the legend tells, foreseen and as they meet, there is an undeniable magnetic atmosphere between them.

And they are acting actually great and quite convincible. And it is nice to see a bit of the turkish culture, such as festivities with music or dancing.

It's full with quite beautiful pictures and scenery all along.

All in all I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next season.

I was totally engrossed in this Turkish series. For me what made it so interesting and drew me in was the instrumentation (not the typical digital crap) used by the composers. Very few films score to the action as this did. That is ambitious and thoughtful attention to detail. Great example of the difference music can make to the overall impact of the storyline. The overall ambient sound work was really excellent, too. It made me realize how much that is lacking in most series and films. Even big budget films. Hollywood can definitely take some cues from this. So A+ to the sound design people and composers and musicians!

Seeing so many 1 star reviews (ONE star, y'all, that's saying this is among the WORST that all of television has to offer, and The Golf Channel exists, for reference) is baffling for a show that's not only "not THAT bad" - it's really not bad. Here's my guess. The low ratings calling out cringe either don't know that English audio dubs are rarely reflective of the show's intended tone. They don't just translate the language into English which subtitles already accomplish, they Americanize the story. Ever notice how the English audio and the English subtitles rarely match 1 to 1? Watch the show again with just subtitles and just see if you still think it's as bad as "School of Golf."

The poster attracted me to watch it, I thought it was horror but when I watched it appeared that it is tooo way far from ghosts, lol.

I watched it according the poster and I didn't watch the trailer so, I didn't know what it is about exactly, but when I watched it liked it so much.

After 30 minutes of the first episode I said what is it about and it looks boring, but the end of the episode made me excited to watch the second one and the second one attracted me to watch the third episode then I said, it looks nice.

I wanted to finish the whole 8 episodes in 1 day but, I didn't have time because of my work.

At the end what I want to say is that I am so excited to see second season.

Notice: ignore the bad reviews and bad comments it is fantasy drama love story.

You will love the actors, the cinematography and the actor's as**.

There is drama, romance, suspense, twist and thriller moments.

It looks like twilight only this one with snakes.
