Cinema and series from all parts of this world can entertain,enlighten,help understanding a country and its people...Behzat does that,yes a "cop show" of all things!The characters are real it seems,we get glimpses of life in Turkey/Ankara,we have a taste of levels of government,police structures,modern and more traditional aspects of a country portrayed by some media(all!?)in a over simplistic manner....amazing show,thank you to the Turkish People!
Saw this on NETFLIX. Gave me a great view on what Turkish life and customs and political issues . I was sad to see it end at 96 episodes as I felt like I was loosing friends. I know they are only TV characters, but still I wonder what happened to them, how their lives went. That is what a great TV series should do it should make you feel the characters are real and care about them.
The series is about a homicide detective, the people around him and his mental state.
This series is very well executed, all questions get answers. There are even a few plot twists that I didn't see coming. The characters are believable, and they are acted skillfully. It captures the social conflicts in Turkey well. The murder cases are usually interesting. It is one of the best shows I've ever watched, a list that includes many expensive Hollywood productions. It was actually very surprising that I'd like a show from Turkey this much.
There are a few negative points however, for which people who consider watching this should prepare themselves. First, there is a lot of swearing. This is made worse by the censorship enforced by Turkish TV. All the swearing is bleeped out, so sometimes it feels like you are listening to a voice-over by R2D2. Some visual elements are censored as well, such as alcoholic drinks later in the show. As the last point, English subtitles are not very well translated. You'll get the point, but sometimes how something is said is important to capture the depth of the scene, which is typically lost.
All in all, I'd recommend this to anyone who are interested in a police drama.

The best part of the series is that it tells the whole story with all its naturalness.The best example of how to deal with American TV series with a simple budget.
Really good scenario. I've never watched a series of characters and actors so compatible before. Selected good actors. Akbaba is amazing. This serie is unique. I am "Memduh Baskan" fan.
