L'ombre de Fatma

Burcu Biricik is wonderful, and so are many Turkish films I'm discovering during the Pandemic when I am working from home and have more time to explore. She is riveting, electrifying, and heartbreaking in this story of a mother, her son, and hidden truths. Her character is also brave and tough as proverbial nails. My only reservation is some of the direction is a bit erratic, and the bad guys are wimps next to Fatma! Loved the film: strongly recommended.

It could have been an average revenge thriller but Burcu Biricik pushes it beyond that. She creates a memorable character that gives the series a real emotional depth. Don't mean to be obnoxious but people have won Oscars for lesser performances.

A very striking character and memorable performance by Burcu Biricik. She is unbelievable. Very good job. So excited for new season.

The series is good and binge worthy , acting is phenomenal from the main lead . There are some stupid moments in it that could've been avoided or written better (like how Bayram left the safe open at Ep.1) .

Otherwise it's a good thriller .

This woman is a cleaner in many ways. I am happy to now be aware of interesting story lines coming out of Turkey. The Gift is another series from there that also draws you in from the start. Fatma has some suprising situations that arise out of nowhere. She cleans offices and homes and gets constant phone calls that hang up on her. Where is her just released husband from prison ? He's nowhere to be found and Fatma wants answers.
