I do like all of Cem Yilmaz's work and Ersan Kuneri is my new favorite. I am already so excited to see more of Ersan Kuneri in the future, additional episodes as well as cameos etc.
From all the set designs, scripts, styling to acting I enjoyed watching this series more than any other production this year. The general idea is brilliant, the topics and mini movies in the series are very clever written but very easy to understand and digest. Watch it alone or with company, its awesome.

Ahahaha I just binged Ersan Kuneri, but couldn't get enough. :D Thankfully we will continue to learn what he has in his portfolio in 2. Season. It's interesting to see Turks who do everything with their kids trying to make adult movies and series.
I come accross too many negative reviews on social media regarding the adult language used in Ersan Kuneri. Who cares. It's barely a tvMA but most people from conservative and religious background find this sitcom inappropriate which is actually a great hint for the level of freedom of thought and freedom of speech in a westernized Muslim society.
Ersan is one-of-a-kind so far. Lovely, charming, vibrant, glowing and most importantly a hysterically funny production. More like a mockumentory. A former, good-natured but unfortunate porn star is trying to make regular movies and gain respect and acceptance among his colleagues. Just like all of us. Gives a lot of clues on highly conservative Turkish culture, understanding, world view, background, history, relationships, etc.
Evidently Turks has still a brutal censor both in their minds and in rules and regulations. You gotta watch Ersan first if you are planning to go to Turkey guys and gals!

The characters that went from color to color colored my mood and thoughts. It got me excited. I laughed a lot. I am said. The generic closing music always gave me happiness. Why I don't know, it affected me a lot. Thank you to those who contributed to this successful production. I have a request; I would like to see Cengiz Bozkurt in the next episodes.
They observed Turkey's current problems and showed em to people by using quirky humour. Actors were superb screenwriting even better also decoration and costumes were near perfect for almost every skit. Just give it a try !
It is a period film made in 1981 and 1982, when Turkish cinema produced very little. In terms of arts and crafts, this series is a very successful production indeed. I consider Cem Yilmaz a very successful craftsman in terms of cinema. Reflecting the spirit of the period, the selection of costumes and accessories, the scenes are at a level that can be called magnificent. In the art part, casting and actor performances, team drama reflected with a single camera angle are really successful. In addition, I think the most striking story is that the character of Alev is an actress on the way that "I want to have a movie where my face is visible". Have a nice watch.
