Bir Zamanlar Çukurova

I loved all the main characters in the beginning and the love triangle story but as the story continues too many new characters pop up and then the main characters story becomes lost.

Love all the main characters got annoyed by the pop characters that get so much screen time and sometimes more then the main characters.

Such a disappointment the main characters and their screen time is lost!

I continue watching in hopes of more main characters comebacks.

The story line is awful, the writer must have considered that the viewers iq is at least 80. No reasonable reactions is considered for the characters and the things happened.

So the first episodes of this TV show are probably the best , everything was perfect , i would say at about episode 20 the show began to lose its taste and interest , the events didn't change but it was getting too repetitive , sometimes just to give the viewers the feeling that something at least was happening , they would throw unnecessary screaming scenes even though they led to nothing . At one point i realized that the show freezed in one place , the story wasn't advancing , they would just fill the time with repetitive events and scenes . That was the rest of season 1 until its end where Yilmaz finally learned something important . Season 2 Began and new events finally happened , but again , every event takes up to 4 episodes . Too much stretching and filler scenes , that was the summary of season 2 . Season 3 though , is very disastrous , it begins with same unnecessary stretched scenes , until so a very important person dies , and from episode 71 , the series officially lost its intrigue and logique , the entire story changed and now the story is going nowhere ...And worst of all , they are making a 4th season . Sooo ... You can watch it , but its going to be a long journey full of misfortune , crying , screaming , and misery .

Don't usually watch these Novellas at all but caught one episode around number 40 and enjoyed it so decided to give it a run. A few of the more likeable or main actors started to die, get murdered or whatever and soon others followed in the strangest and most unbelievable circumstances. Different events were introduced but were in the main just too impossible to believe and caused the characters to do things and make decisions that were simply too illogical to believe and totally contrary to any common-sense. Added to this was the fact that in Spain where I watched it the programme had a START TIME of 17.45pm but in fact started at 18.15 because it was PRECEDED by 30 minutes of ADVERTS and it had a FINISH TIME OF 1900 but ended at 18.50pm to allow 10 minutes of ADVERTS to be allowed to PRECEDE the programme following. THIS also allowed the Spanish TV Channel Antena 3 to extend the series by months so I long ago stopped watching it because Spanish TV may be free on some Channels but the quality of programmes are the worst imaginable. Spanish viewers in the main like and prefer to watch series like La Voz, Salveme and any reality shows that don't require them to think!

I could not wait for another episode! Now at number 119 I don't think I'm going to continue. The story is going in circles and became unnecessarily complicated. Leading characters disappeared struck suddenly by death! New one were introduced changing the whole atmosphere, too bad. Why not closing it, why continuing? I don't think I want to continue watching a dumb Zuleyha and the disappearing of Gulten and Sanye! Why Turkish actors are not bound to stricter rules when they sign up a contract?
