Behzat Ç.

Really good scenario. I've never watched a series of characters and actors so compatible before. Selected good actors. Akbaba is amazing. This serie is unique. I am "Memduh Baskan" fan.

The series is about a homicide detective, the people around him and his mental state.

This series is very well executed, all questions get answers. There are even a few plot twists that I didn't see coming. The characters are believable, and they are acted skillfully. It captures the social conflicts in Turkey well. The murder cases are usually interesting. It is one of the best shows I've ever watched, a list that includes many expensive Hollywood productions. It was actually very surprising that I'd like a show from Turkey this much.

There are a few negative points however, for which people who consider watching this should prepare themselves. First, there is a lot of swearing. This is made worse by the censorship enforced by Turkish TV. All the swearing is bleeped out, so sometimes it feels like you are listening to a voice-over by R2D2. Some visual elements are censored as well, such as alcoholic drinks later in the show. As the last point, English subtitles are not very well translated. You'll get the point, but sometimes how something is said is important to capture the depth of the scene, which is typically lost.

All in all, I'd recommend this to anyone who are interested in a police drama.

Best because it is daily life.. it is sincere.. they are not acting, it is like a window to someone's real life.. so intense, so sincere, so real.. You can find friendship, sacrifice, pain, empathy, understanding, passion, intelligence unlike modern series.. I wish I was one of them.

you must know that series can be found in youtube, and if you are a real fan of these guys and their dialouges, you should also check cep dizi series..

movies are also nice, completing the missing parts in TV episodes..

as my last words, I could say that, I cried and laughed with the series for the last 6 years... I keep restarting from the first episode and everytime I watch one more time, I see what I have missed in the previous time I watched. .

definitely helpful for your psyhcology.. especially if you are emotional..

remember to buy beer or raki before you start, believe me you will need that!

Cinema and series from all parts of this world can entertain,enlighten,help understanding a country and its people...Behzat does that,yes a "cop show" of all things!The characters are real it seems,we get glimpses of life in Turkey/Ankara,we have a taste of levels of government,police structures,modern and more traditional aspects of a country portrayed by some media(all!?)in a over simplistic manner....amazing show,thank you to the Turkish People!

The best part of the series is that it tells the whole story with all its naturalness.The best example of how to deal with American TV series with a simple budget.
