Yaratilan: La créature

I randomly turned on the series but watched it all night. At first, I found it very strange that 37-year-old Taner Ölmez was playing a 17-20 year old young man who had just started attending Mektebi Tibbiye. He couldn't get over his role in the TV series 'A Miracle' but the series drew me in so much that i forgot about it after a very short time. I NEVER AGREE with comments claiming that the series is cliché. I couldn't predict how it would progress and end until the last moment. When I first looked, the IMBd score was 6.4, it is pleasing to increase by 2 points but it needs to increase even more.

A minisaga of a creature that tells the story of our mankind better than all other humans. Although the concept is taken from Frankenstein, it's got a whole another plot. We see love, sadness, disappointment, anger, hatred, hope, and most importantly, greed. Indeed, the story is all about our greed.

The acting of all leading characters are satisfying, especially of Erkan Kolçak Köstendil. However, the dialogues are sometimes banal and disconnected. The storytelling could be improved by enriching the story through historical myths and character backgrounds rather than several situations that the protagonist faces throughout different episodes.

All in all, the most outstanding Turkish production of Netflix so far.

But after i switched to Turkish I came to realize this is a marvelous story with incredible depth, soul, and a real insight into the nature of human hearts and human character (from an albeit inhuman being's experiences).

This is a Frankenstein story to be sure, but it's got a life of its own and should be judged not on its closeness to Mary Shelly but its own merits as a cinemagraphic artwork. I have no clue why so many haters have dropped the rating down to a lowly 6 but this is a piece of fiction Netflix truly excelled in acquiring. Just hope the ending isn't the end.

My only criticism is the failure to provide true closure in the final episode, but in a way it tries to whilst holding the door open for a greenlight of another season it seems (as evident from the 2023 - ___ for its dates). Very good work directors, actors, team and historians. You've actually made me want to dive into more Turkish cinema, something I had 0 interest in or knowledge of prior.

Cheers.

I started watching with little judgement since turkish netflix works dosent have very cleverly done story telling and effective sound design. Sound design was very impressive and really builds up atmosphere of the scene effectively. They successfully created a living world and atmosphere of the era. Even when sometimes lightning had little problems on some scenes it was genuinely well used. Make up was very impressive and definitely was too realistic. I really liked how they adapt the orginal story in to ottoman era and style. Each location and character was well designed and definitely cast was amazing and performance was effective. Because turkish and english dosent really match as sound, watching the series with original language and subtitles is the best way to watch the series in my own opinion.

One of the best serie i have watched. I wasnt expecting something this strong in story. I thought its another Frankenstein act but its much more than that. Acting, story, reflections of personalities and choices, familial bonds , ignorances of masses and many other emotions you feel regarding human behaviour, visuals, depth... This is not a fantasy genre for sure, it has those elements yes but its bare minimum. This serie is more like psychology, human nature and choices. I also loved the fact that the main character is not a purely nice guy and he is not bad either. He is literally young who learns through experience, he starts as selfish teenager but somehow finds his worth in the end. Briefly fantastic job. Its definitely worth warching.
