Gizli Bahçe

Dramatic and beautiful at the same time

I loved the comparison between the two worlds that are obvious in the series poster where you see Nazli struggling with poverty and the meanness of society in order to secure a respectable life for Memo while the Akcinar family enjoying luxury.

Memo and Nazli's relationship is very strong and sweet despite all the stress and pressure they are radiating and enjoying life while the Akcinar family lacks family stability and affection.

The tension in Nazli-Demir scenes especially the table one is great

My hesitation was about the type of relationship that Turkish society might not accept, but the end of the episode was a surprise and I loved it very much and even got more affected by Nazli-Memo relationship.

Episode 4: Once you use religious places like the Church in Greece to show Ates made a bad transaction and to show him alive, and no matter what religion you use for such scene, your show deserves less than zero as rating.

Writers if I can call you amateur writers, do you know the clothes that the character Ates was wearing to fake he was a priest and later he threw them, the cross he was wearing and later hang it on the tree, and the scene where the woman dressed as a nun made gesture kiss -- all were blasphemy against the Church.

There was no point at all to use the Church for such pathetic, poor, and inadequate scene. You could had done the scene ANYPLACE except religious places! What a weak and terrible series.

I thought the actors were good, and the leads were quite compatible. The story line had some interesting twists that kept it from getting stale. It would have been nice to have more episodes to delve into the stories of the side characters more, as it seems to have been prematurely wrapped up. The brother, the mother, creepy father, nice friends...all would be nice to know more about.

The story was called Secret Garden, but there really wasn't much to explain that. Perhaps that could have been further explored as well.

Ebru Sahin is very beautiful and I was glad to see her acting again. And her costar, Murat Yildirim, was charming in his own way. I liked both characters.

My only complaint, really, is that it was ended to quickly.

First, I love Murat Aziz or Demir) and Ebru Nazli) as Actors/Actresses. This series was cut short just when it picked up with a little, not too much, intrigue. The plot was clear and clean. There needs to be a part two so that the bad people are caught and The revealing of the love/romance that started.

Who was saved from Birol? Did his mother die or survived? Did Murat and Ebru marry? What kind of intriguing stunts were created by Defne and her Father? I cannot fathom a series ending so abruptly without a clear ending. I hope the writers create a sequel, at least to define a clear ending. I expected the writers to reveal more of the love and romance because clearly there are people in love in this series that could be exposed for example. Birol not only wants Ebru to withdraw her complaint against him, he wants to have her as a second wife while Murat is slowly but surely revealing his love for Ebru.

Please create a sequel. Rid the series of evil doers and the love between Aziz and Nazli without too much intrigue. Perhaps another 5 to 6 episodes each two hours long will change ratings to a 10 as well.

This series is one of the best for 2024. Tuesdays are a very competitive night, so I hope more Turkish citizens will begin to watch. It has an exceptional cast that brings the story to life. The lead actors have palpable chemistry, making their interactions captivating and believable. The supporting cast is equally impressive, adding depth and richness to the narrative. Memo, the youngest actor is truly remarkable. The main characters not only act well together, but also look good on screen enhancing the visual appeal. I would highly recommend this series for its steller performances and engaging storyline.
