Le Tailleur

We saw Series 1 on Dutch Netflix in 2023. This was very exciting and very well acted by the protagonists. At the end of the last episode, the expectation was raised that a sequel was coming. We could therefore hopefully look forward to a sequel. At the end of July '23 we could then eagerly look forward to series 2. Especially the role of Mustafa is so good and pure. This story shows you how 2 families deal with success and how they have dealt with parenting in their family where clearly a black sheep has to suffer. The last episode was very pure and emotional where in the end a family is brought back together in good harmony. It was a happy ending and another chapeau for the makers of Yapimci. They have again achieved another great success on their rating.

I'll admit that I really have to be in a particular type of mood to endure a Netflix Turkiye production, but every once in a while they put out something that leaves an impact quite unique from western productions.

To the seasoned critique, it will come across cheesy and basic, leaving them bored and tuning out a few episodes in. It almost happended to me but as I said, on this occasion I was in a particular mood to not watch with my mind but rather my heart. I think the why 'Dizis' (Turkish serials) appeal to a certain audience is that they apply life lessons most of us can relate to. While undoubetby far more entertaining to watch, I can't relate to Alien Covenant, Interstellar, the Irishman etc.

The Taylor started slow, and during the first few episodes I got distracted and lost focus. My first impression of Dimitri was that of a cheap suit; a loud horny obnoxious guy with a cross tattoo on his forearm. It came across a bit tacky and cringe, so I was immediately put off. The disabled father had zero emotional effect on me; probably the exact opposite of what was intended (too soon for ott emotion!!!). And the straw that broke the camel's back was the Tony Stark vision thing Peyami did before embarking on his next masterpiece. That made me pause, literally!

Then a few weeks later I gave it another go and boy was I glad I did. As mentioned in my title, to me it was a story about flawed humans doing what they do best. Some reviews claimed a bias towards the portrayal of the Greek character(s). I objectively didn't see. For me, it was an objective story that I thought pretty obvious Dimitri was the most likeable character. Fun, charismatic, flawed, broken, yet incredibly loyal and with compassion. I adored Bademci's Rumeli accent, sounding not too different from bilingual (Greek and Turkish speaking) Northern Cypriots.

Perhaps due to my first wife being Greek, and my best friend since the age of 11 being Greek (myself being Turkish), seeing a Greek family and community of Istanbul (my father's home city) really spiked my interest, but that's not the reason I enjoyed it so much. Just binge watched the lot over the weekennd, on the final 2 episodes of season 3...let's see what happens.

If you are going to watch it, watch it with your heart and not your mind. If that makes sense to you, you'll probably enjoy it. Be warned it does start off slow, and it will require a leap of faith.

Second Season very intense from start to finish. Great Teamwork and the actors managed very well to keep the thin thread of the story without to danger of breaking. The music was also great and provided the fair amount of suspense to each episode. Congratulations to the whole Terzi (The Tailor) Team,actors,Director but especially to Cagatay Ulusoy,the actor who no longer acts but becomes a character himself. The emotions and feelings experienced by this actor also transmitted them to us viewers. A performance worthy of all respect. Cagatay Ulusoy today overtook himself once again and managed to fly higher and higher. Chapeau Cagatay 👏👏👏

I really like this; it's different. The story line is unusual and the story unfolds nicely. A romantic story with its sad and tense twists and turns, it is set in beautiful Turkey. Scenes are breathtaking and the acting is very good indeed.

Stick with it because it's worth it. All characters are well cast, and suit their parts well. The pace of the story is well written too.

Maybe I'm biased because I live in Turkey; but these people know how to portray a story well, and they know how to act.

Thank you cast, actors and actresses because this is a lovely entertaining drama indeed! Love it A lot .
