Son: Le Passager Disparu du Vol 163

I absolutely loved this series: the acting, the plot, the twists and the cliffhanger ending of each episode. I have never seen anything filmed in Turkey or Iran and really enjoyed seeing the background, the clothes and the culture. There was a real contrast between the scenes shot in Iran and Turkey. I liked the way the scenes shifted between the characters. It added to the suspense. I would like to see another series like this one.

Like any soup opera, a good story made too long and terrible level of actors performance. I have no previous experience watching Turkish movies, but I believe should have much better professionals in cinema than showed in this série.

I´m going to be completely honest here. I didn´t watch every episode of "Son" (Swedish title: "Lögnen"/"The Lie"). Why? I had very little time and, sorry to say it, interest in the end. I watched at least 32 episodes. In other words I must say that I saw enough to have questions, opinions and confusion.

First of all it´s way too many flashbacks for me! I couldn´t really keep up. Very often I felt confusion. What year or place is it now in this TV series? Some flashbacks were unnecessary. Few things were explained. Where is the romantic chemistry between this TV series couples? What drives Cevdet? Is it his family, money, revenge, justice or something else? Why didn´t Selim tell the truth to Aylin? He should have told her everything!

I know that my home country Sweden is one of Norways neighbours. And yes, I like Norway very much. But why did this TV series include just a few Norwegian scenes? Norway deserved to be seen more.

All in all I, quite sadly, don´t take with me a lot of things after watching "Son". I´m sorry, but for me it´s true.

Drama's shortened version is available on YouTube with the name 'Yeah hai Meri Kahani'...a typical thriller of Ay Yapim. Would like to watch original production with English subtitles.

This would be the worst TV-series ever to come out of Turkey. Nothing wrong with the actors but the story. What story?

This story could have been told in a half-an-hour episode but we have to wait for thr 49th until it is revealed what we all could work out from the start.

It goes back and fro, back and fro and there are so many mistakes in the series, it is quite unbelievable. The actor is driving a white car, which turns into grey and finally a red one when it stops. One actors face is full with soots, oil and the next moment he is perfectly clean. Forget about this one!!
