Bir Baskadir

I'm not turkish but I visited several times, the show explains a lot of the contrast in lifestyle and culture present in Turkey. I love that the writing is not biased against any of the social levels and the scenario is very natural and sincere The cinematography, music and acting is excellet. I think personally a lot of international audience can relate to the story as alot of communities have the same polarisation within that feels like the fabric of the society is no longer consistent. Its the same here in Egypt and Middle East in general. We are exposed to same socio-economic and political unbalance, so its no surprise we reach the same outcomes. I can't wait for more episodes to be released! Please keep up the good work.

I was pleasantly surprised watching this series. I am an American. Recently I noticed a lot of options on Netflix came from Turkey. I do not know much about Turkey. About two weeks ago, I decided to watch Resurrection - Etrugrul. I am still watching it. I wanted to watch it because I am of mixed race. I am part Native American and part Original Colonist. I was not raised on a Native (or Indian) Reservation. My father took us all over the world. I wanted to watch Tribal conflicts and the introduction of Christianity from another perspective. Anyway, I decided to watch. I loved it. I had no idea Turkey was so modern. I thought it might be a place like some reservations, where people are trying to combine their traditions and culture but the youth want a place in this modern world. The natives leave because they need jobs. They are of course exposed to a different world. I liked Ethos a lot. I liked seeing that the struggle with being human and especially with being a female is common with all of us. That is the best part about the whole series. It shows how we are connected. I also liked reading all the reviews. They opened my eyes to the thread that links us together. I loved the series and can't wait for the next season.

This is probably the best series shot in Turkey since Masum. Acting is just on point, Öykü Karayel particularly nailed the role and her accent. But what I appreciate the most is the director's artistic style and vision. It's a realistic, captivating story with amazing cinematography and solid soundtrack.

By the way, I can't believe there are actually people who criticize this show because "there's lack of diversity". Sorry for being realistic? At least do some research on the country's demographics before claiming such thing. This point of view is no different than casting a black actor for Zeus on Troy. You can't be seriously expecting all countries to make shows according to the diversity in America. The world is bigger than that, you know.

I don't remember ever watching a show from Turkey, so I didn't know what to expect. Not only is the story captivating, but the acting is top notch, world-class, and what's more, it's not "just a show", it actually has a high artistic value.

It's probably just me that I'm a little weird but the show also made me laugh to tears a couple of times. It's not intentionally funny, but there are dialogues that are so realistic and, even if delivered in an angry way, are painful and funny just like life is.

I never expected to see a Turkish tv series like this in my life. As an Arab, I've seen nothing Turkish but soap operas, and that had a role in my perception of Turkish production.

First of all, I watched the trailer in the day it was released 12/11/20 and I thought it was a movie, nonetheless, its style grabbed me, so I decided to watch it. After I watched the first episode I was shocked because of it, all I can say about that episode is one word, perfect. The first episode sat the bar high for me, and after I finished the series I wanted to write few things about it. I loved its style, the direction was perfect, you can notice the influence of Wes Anderson in it, which is a good thing, and not only in the direction, but in all other aspects, including writing, cinematography, the wide scene which then turns into a closeup through quick zoom, and the style of comedy. Speaking of comedy, this series has a lot of it, and better than comedy, it has a smart comedy, the one that makes you laugh just by the settings of the scene or by the clumsy behaviour of the characters which always felt real, or even when some characters meet other characters you cant help but laugh. There are a lot of stories, and through these stories you get to know a lot about modern Turkey and the Turkish society, and each story had a reason to exist. The colours were so beautiful, it's probably the most beautiful series I've ever seen and one of the most beautiful works, this was because of the spectacular cinematography and production design, and because of the selection of the music. As for acting, every actor did his job in the best way possible, so, I wouldn't want to talk about a certain actor or actress and leave the rest; because they're all perfect, I who is an actor-wannabe will always look up to their work in this art of work and take them as role models. This is the thing about this series, there is a company that's willing to produce such art, and creative creators and actors who are all talented and hardworking in their job, and the result was a masterpiece. I hope I said everything that I have in my heart for this series. I wish to see more from the whole team. Thank you for this masterpiece.
