Le vampire d'Istanbul

It was terrible. terrible. I couldnt stop watching it.

I loved this show. I loved the characters, the story, all of it. I just wish it had been a little longer than 8 episodes so it. Could have been fleshed out better. The twist at the end really wraps it up, but at the same time there could have easily been a second season and I wish there was.

If it had been longer, if the main character's backstory and motives had been gone into a little more it would have been better. I also didn't really get the whole romance between Mia and Dmitry, I don't feel like that was done in a natural, organic way, rather it was just written and it simply happened. I'm not mad at it, but given Mia's motives, it didn't make sense with the lack of explanation for it.

All in all, the shortcomings in my opinion are small, had it been fleshed out a little more this would have gotten an easy 10 stars from me.

It started well and promised a lot, but very little was delivered. Dialogue was very bad in many parts and it was frustrating watching actors doing and saying things over and over again, it was very repetitive. By episode 5, I knew the show would have a bad and boring ending and I was not wrong. I love Kerem Bursin, he is a great actor, but still there were moments that I felt that all the good ideas were gone and actors were forced to improvise. Pacing got so slow after episode 5 that I was very tempted to play fast forward several times during the last 4 episodes... The tribe of good guys, was so annoying, their acting was terrible, I reached to a point, that I was desperately waiting for a blood bath their blood. Not to mention that there were many plot holes that were not satisfied. However, if you're a fan of vampire movies, and if you need to watch them all, give this a try, the series has some good moments that may have saved the show partially.

For this being Turkish, it's pretty sold. Wish there was more than just one season.

I love Kerem Bürsin and he played a very appealing vampire. It's the first non drama Turkish series I've watched and I believe that it has a lot of potential. It was a bit boring and the ending was bad. The show is called Immortals but in the end the immortals are killed, it doesn't make sense. I would love to see Mia (Elçin Sangu) bring Dmitry back to life. More CGI, I mean it is a show about vampires. Honestly I only finished watching the show because of Kerem. His Alpha Male character was on point but I don't get the storyline. Even though the chemistry was there, there was very little action.
