Kizilcik Serbeti

The first season was amusing and dealt with important topics regarding to families, different values and parts of societies; and I believe the series had the potential to become a great Turkisg series, but since the second season started, the story is not making any sense any more.

There is no logic in the story telling and I think this is a disrespect to the viewers' intelligence, so I'm going to stop watching Cranberry Sorbet from now on.

Many good characters were removed from the show in illogical ways and it's just getting unbearable and very hard to make any sense.

I give 3/10 only for the first seasons and A FEW members of the cast.

Overall, I like this show and certain characters are a joy to watch. Hats off especially to the actors who play Nursema and Omer (outstanding acting). However, the male lead Fatih has been a major problem from the start. Because of him, I don't enjoy the show as much as I want to. I also don't like the actor playing him -- he lacks charisma and has no chemistry with the female lead who plays Doga.

Fatih is a very unlikeable character who has no respect or empathy for his pregnant wife Doja. These two don't even seem to like each other so I am not sure why they are together. Fatih is mentally (and borderline physically) abusive. He keeps stressing Doga out and always puts his family over her. Now he's cheating (at the FIRST opportunity).

I don't care how much Fatih begs or what he does after this, he's irredeemable and cannot be trusted. I hope the writers give Doja back her self-respect by divorcing her from this poor excuse for a man. There should be no reconciliation -- but I won't be surprised if the writers reunite them (Turkish writers are notorious for doing this).

It is a very good series that portrays well the difficulties encountered when a young man from a traditional Muslim family marries a girl whose religion is not the pillar of her family. It's a beautiful family drama that shows that every family has its imperfections and prejudices.

The cast is wonderful and talented. And a very good thing is that the plot does not revolve around the protagonists alone.

Nowadays, I think this series brings very important reflections on religious and moral issues in society not only in Turkey but all over the world.

Once again I emphasize that the cast is so good that it will make you love the characters and hate them in the same episode.

At first, I was excited about a drama that describe cultural differences and the possibility of coexistence with love and respect, which was interesting. However, it later became clear that the creators of this series were biased toward a particular party, showing the other party in an extremely negative light. Not only that but also mention other countries in negative way, this is unjust and unfair to the religious communities in Turkey and around the world.

Every society has its positive and negative aspects, and the shows and drama should remain neutral to ensure the Presentation of an enjoyable and entertaining program without provoking the viewers' emotions.

This series has been able to show the difference between two styles of life, Islamic and secular, and has also been able to well portray the problems of religious life without having the necessary information, for example, Ms. Panbe's behavior in judging others without considering the problems of those around her and defining Islam in a small and wrong parenthesis.

The laws of Islam are much broader than wearing a headscarf and giving charity. They include paying attention to one's own behavior, not judging others, striving to be good, cooperating and helping, not harming others, and many other practices that we have been avoiding for many months. If everyone in a community followed those instructions, that community would come closer to utopia.
