Sahmaran

I do not understand why people rate this as cringe or stupid. This is a very beautiful and romantic piece of art, where a modern woman meets an old legend.

Both main actors are stunning in their own way. Their love is, as the legend tells, foreseen and as they meet, there is an undeniable magnetic atmosphere between them.

And they are acting actually great and quite convincible. And it is nice to see a bit of the turkish culture, such as festivities with music or dancing.

It's full with quite beautiful pictures and scenery all along.

All in all I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next season.

Ok it is not a great show but I don't understand why the people rate as one star. Sounds not fair. It seems that a bunch of people come together and try to reduce the rate of the show. It is contain 8 episodes and each of takes approximately 50 minutes. I watched in two days without get bored. It ends like the second season will publish that was little annoying and that was the reason I rated 6 instead of 7.

So, the show was average but Serenay Sarikaya had a great performance.she looks gorgeous, stunning and wonderful in the show and it was nice to see her here. I missed to see her performance.

Seeing so many 1 star reviews (ONE star, y'all, that's saying this is among the WORST that all of television has to offer, and The Golf Channel exists, for reference) is baffling for a show that's not only "not THAT bad" - it's really not bad. Here's my guess. The low ratings calling out cringe either don't know that English audio dubs are rarely reflective of the show's intended tone. They don't just translate the language into English which subtitles already accomplish, they Americanize the story. Ever notice how the English audio and the English subtitles rarely match 1 to 1? Watch the show again with just subtitles and just see if you still think it's as bad as "School of Golf."

I honestly don't get the bad reviews, it is a decent and well acted show. The atmoshpere is mystic and absorbing, the story is interesting,and all in all I have enjoyed all three episodes so far.

Younger audiences like fast paced and action filled thrillers,which is not the case here, this is a slow burner,but a good one.

Shahmaran is actually a mystic figure in the center of an epic tale. If you know about the tale, most of the the mysterious and weird looking pieces come together right from the start, and it is a much more enjoyable story for the viewer.

By the way, it is not fair to rate so low on a show, when you don't know what to look for when rating.

The 2 leads are top notch and their chemistry is palpable. Despite a slow burn in episode 1 the story starts to hit its stride in episode 2. Production values are very high and the blending of contemporary gender themes with mythology is clever and ambitious. Some of the supporting cast are a bit hammy but overall this is another impressive show out of Turkey. If you enjoyed The Gift then this is a natural progression. The first season is set up for a return and I really hope it does for Season 2! I wish Netflix would invest in second seasons like they once used to!

On a side note, the myriad 1 star reviews for this show feel like a set up and are ridiculously harsh.
