The Club

As a Jewish and Israeli woman I would like to thank the producers of this serie for what they brought. Except for making a quality drama they really tried to show history through the story. They didn't paint any of the sides in unneeded colors. Just kept it real.

I remember a Jewish man who grew up in Turkey telling me how he missed it, how great it was to live there and how close were the relationships he had with Muslims there, but because of the political situation his Muslim friends used to tell him it would be better for him to convert to Islam, then he won't have the problems he had. He said many people were hiding their religious symbols in order not to get in trouble. I could sense his words through the serie.

Thanks again.

It reflects the Istanbul of the 1950s very well. Its cosmopolitan but out of touch.

Costumes and scenery are very well done.

And it showed some events that are usualy not talked about. There are some historical inaccuracies but its worth watching.

This is a great story, love the time period of the 1950s, costumes and casting is perfection. Again, another wonderful Turkish series with unique story telling and engaging from beginning to end. I would like to continue with more episodes for sure.

I decided to write this because of a huge misunderstanding. The show did not end but at halt till december. There are 4 more episodes. And about show, the actors were outstanding. The acting was really great but also the visualization of the era was also great. I usually don't watch Turkish dramas but this was a hit and I'm planning to recommend it to my friends from other countries.

It may not be the most accurate historical reproduction of 1950s Instanbul, but this show entertains, and it does it well.

The story is original, the cast is exceptionally good, and everything just works. There are just a few things that I wished worked better: some plot points, some of the storytelling, and more contextualisation of the Club and its music.

All in all, very good.
