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.
Through this series I liked Ankara. Behzat Ç is a rough, violent and morally ambiguous police officer who is the head of the homicide department in Ankara. Behzat Ç and his team usually work together with the public prosecutor Esra, who later becomes his love interest. I wish though that all police officers.
A series of very sincere. All the characters in the series so good. They complement each other. Array doing different from other series. 'La' word stuck in my mouth. Unfortunately, the series it was finished. I wish I had not been this way. Very more should be done like this series. It became one of the series will not be forgotten. So at least for me... 10/10

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.
This series is interesting to view in terms of an insight into the Turkish way of life. The story lines are sometimes good and sometimes totally crazy. The characters are extremely well acted but at times annoying to watch which is what they are supposed to be and is a tribute to the professionalism of the actors. To complete the series is a marathon. Individual episodes are complete in themselves but there are several continuing story lines which attract you to the next episode to see what happens. What is fascinating is portrayal of the way policing operates in Turkish Muslem society and how citizens and police have to be wary of potentially corrupt entities within a highly authoritarian state. With potentially 150 hours of watching time I suspect not many people will make it to the end.
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!
