Gizli Sakli

This is a light hearted crime romance series. Two undercover cops who are not in good terms with each other have to pretend to be husband and wife to catch a crime boss. Both female and male leads act well but there's not much spark & chemistry between them. The story has been acted out before and with this lack of chemistry and lack of captivating events, my interest as I watch continues to drop. I found mysef fast forwarding a fair bit in the 2nd episode. The supporting cast is ok but there's no interesting spin from them. I'll most probably give the 3rd episode a chance and give up the series if it is still not interesting.

A new police graduate joins a seasoned (and handsome) pro to catch mafia type criminal. The first show didn't sell me on the congruency of the main characters (Naz/Yaz and Pamir/Levent) but little by little, they seem to be a very compatible and passionate duo. There is a good balance between the storyline (undercover agents) and the romantic moments. Now I love them together. The costars are also entertaining. I love Naz's Mom, Aynur. She is my hero...clever, strong willed and gutsy. I love that she didn't hesitate to put "Levent" in his place, telling him to be quiet. That's my kind of mom! Other supporting roles are excellent as well. I love the comedic moments that Namik, Talat, and Cicek bring.

I was sad to read that the show was not picked up to continue and will be ending prematurely. It took a little time to develop the relationships, but now they are just starting to simmer and someone out there in Diziland just turned off the fire. I could see these two characters potentially moving on to another case after this one is solved. I wish they had more time. Potential wasted seems to be a theme with summer love stories. Unfortunately.

**Edit: I just watched the final show. Without spoiling anything, I just have to say, I love this show, I loved this couple. I wish it could have gone on longer. Romance, excitement of a police story, comedy, gorgeous couple- Gizli Sakli is missing NOTHING. Very cute.

This is a short run summer 2022 romantic comedy series that ended at just 8 episodes. The ending of this series is unfortunate as the two romantic leads have great chemistry and were really starting to sizzle in their roles playing an undercover couple. This is the first time I have seen either Sinem Unsal or Halit Ozgur Sali, but they are wonderful together...very well suited and I particularly like how in episode 6 Halit started to develop not just jealousy but real protective habits toward Sinem's character Naz and all to a wonderful song by Batuhan Kordel "Askin en Guzel Hali", it was gorgeous.

Speaking of music, the soundtrack to this series was great! Both Batuhan Korfel's song and Mavi Gri's "Dunyanin en Guzel kizi" are now spinning on my summer playlist.

The series is about Naz, who graduates top of her police academy class. She is immediately recruited into an undercover assignment with a seasoned detective and lone wolf Pamir. Together they must play a married couple Yaz and Levant, recently moved home from London in order to infiltrate the mobster Tarik's tightly run family organization. Initially, Pamir is not happy about working with a rookie...but Naz slowly works her way under his skin. Especially, with the rest of her warm loving family...starting with her strong take no prisoners retired nurse mom and her quirky bit of a rascal uncle. Being raised in an orphanage has definitely had an effect on Pamir...but Naz's positivity and love is always there shining a beautiful light on him.

The series started a little slowly, but I for one am sad to see it end just as it was really hitting it's stride. The supporting cast was wonderful, the sets and storyline were great and I loved the costuming!

I highly recommend this series it is a short (8 episode) Turkish Romantic Comedy Series full of color and light intrigue. The ending of each episode keeps you coming back for more. Sinem is truely lovely and has wonderful chemistry with Halit...they are resin enough to watch the series which comes to a reasonably satisfying conclusion at the end of episode 8.

Undercover with YELLOW promised to deliver an intense, gripping crime drama, but sadly, it misses the mark in almost every aspect. What could have been a thrilling series about undercover work quickly devolves into a tedious, poorly executed storyline that doesn't engage or captivate the audience.

First off, the plot is overly simplistic and predictable, offering little to no surprises or fresh twists. The premise of an undercover operation is one that holds so much potential for suspense, but the execution here feels lazy and uninspired. The story drags on without ever reaching a meaningful point, and you quickly realize that nothing of substance is happening. There's little to no tension, and the pacing is painfully slow, making it difficult to stay invested in the unfolding events.

Halit Sari, who plays the lead role, simply doesn't deliver. His performance feels flat, lacking the emotional depth and intensity that would be necessary for such a demanding role. Rather than feeling like a character deeply immersed in the complexities of his undercover mission, Sari's portrayal is disconnected and lacking any real urgency. It's clear that the role required someone who could bring a lot more gravitas to the table, but unfortunately, that's not what we get here.

The supporting cast also falls short. The chemistry between characters is non-existent, which makes the already weak storyline even harder to follow. There's no real emotional investment to be had, and the character interactions feel awkward and forced. The dialogue doesn't help either, with lines that often come across as stiff and unnatural.

What's most frustrating is the series' failure to create any kind of suspense. For a crime thriller, Undercover with Halit SarI doesn't build any real stakes, and the plot moves from one event to another without much consequence. It's hard to care about what's happening on screen when the story feels so hollow and the characters so one-dimensional.

The visuals and production are another area where the show falls flat. While there's an attempt to create a gritty, realistic atmosphere, the result is far from immersive. The direction feels rushed, and the cinematography doesn't do the story any justice. In fact, the entire series feels like it's trying too hard to be something it's not, with a forced sense of intensity that never quite lands.

In conclusion, Undercover with Halit SarI is a huge disappointment. With a weak plot, lackluster performances, and a complete failure to build suspense or tension, the show fails to live up to its potential. It's a shame because the concept had promise, but the execution just isn't there. If you're looking for a gripping crime drama, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Like every dizi, I expected it to have skip scenes when it came to family scenes, but this one has literally no skips and it's a perfect mix of comedy, crime/action and romance. Although I would like to see more of them in action (let's so hope in the next episodes), I think the main couple and every side character storyline is very well-balanced.
