Karadayi

I feel compelled to reply to some comments made in this forum. Ezel was my first experience of a Turkish TV series and I adored it. I do not agree that the show was boring, nor complicated. Once you got your head around the plot it was simple enough to work out! As for boring, well the slow motion & emotional scenes are what is best about these shows. I had been watching American shows prior and yes I enjoyed some very much,however by comparison most are filled with explicit sex scenes and overly glamorous film stars. There are exceptions naturally, and I have set aside that aspect in those that I have liked.

Yes there is a glamour to the cast of Ezel and Karaday1 but they come across as super intelligent and real. You can relate to them easily. They come across as deep and meaningful people who have worked hard to achieve such successful shows.

I am mid way through Karaday1, loving every second of it, as mentioned in other reviews, I too cannot wait till the next episode. I too find myself binge watching, till wee hours and not ashamed to admit the odd afternoon session.

Karaday1 did take a little longer for me to get into, but it gets better as it goes along. Long - yes, boring - definitely not, complicated - takes concentration which is a credit to the writers.

The music to Ezel is haunting and will stay with me forever. Thank you Turkish TV

I loved this series. I don't speak Turkish, but I found a way to see it through all three seasons.

First, I loved the actors. All the principal actors were fantastic. The Kara family, Feride and her mother, the friends from the neighborhood, the other love interests, were all very believable. A few of the bad guys were over the top, but I guess the global audience loves seeing the bad boys being bad. Targut was kind of funny when he had his tantrums.

I thought the plot was well developed and had lots of interesting twists. I enjoyed the backstories of all the characters. I fell in love with the Kara family, especially the parents, with their love, strength, courage and poetic embrace of life.

The direction was good. The actors worked together seamlessly. All that emotion was pulled out of everyone. There were many beautiful romantic scenes. The director did not depend on cheap tricks, like showing the same events over and over, or holding onto facial expressions too long. The settings were interesting.

I binge watched season 1 subtitled in English on Netflix. The rich voices of the actors made it easier to read along and know what was going on. After season 1, I looked around YouTube for more English, but

just found a few scenes.

Then I found Resumen HD in Spanish. This became the Feride and Mahir show because they cut most of the other scenes that had other actors, keeping just enough to keep the plot together. There were things that I never did understand, like why Mahir's brother had a sudden change of opinion, but I still enjoyed watching the story to the end.

One of the masterpieces of Turkish producers and directors as well as the actor. A series full of excitement and resisting against enemies. The rise of a brave and courageous man of a territory with an aim of revealing criminal's real face hidden behind masks which gradually succeeds doing it and prevails justice for all the people. One of the leading actor's famous words in the series.

"If you don't burn,if I don't burn and if we don't burn who will bring light to the darkness"

In conclusion from all the above discussions we reach to the result that the series is full of:Mystery,Treachery,Betrayal,Moral Lessons,Justice privilege,Lawmen's and government authorities fake identities,Loyalty.

Karadayi is definitely the best series i've ever seen. I've never seen anything like that!! It's so smart and exciting and every episode was full of action and excitement since episode 1 till episode 115. I would like to thank the whole cast for this amazing show i'm so grateful i watched it and i wanna thank them for the hard work and everything else. I never regretted watching this show and i would like to tell everyone else to watch it because it's worth it. Also it's almost unbelievable how things changed from episode 1 till episode 115. And i loved the new characters in season 3 and btw season 3 was the best, everything was clear and everyone is working together to give this amazing result, all the seasons are remarkable but season 3 is just something else, i'm so proud of the cast and i'm thankful.

Suffering through this series.

Love love everything about this drama but at season 2, I'm starting to really suffer through the plot.

I love the addition of a new character but it's not enough to push the narrative forward.

I'm left with the feeling that the story is going nowhere and the constant repeating of plots (back and forth of the main couple, in and out of jail, etc) is exhausting.

Reluctantly taking a break.

Reluctantly because it's still an amazing cast and script but right now I can't deal with the repetition. At this point, I don't know what they could have done differently to push the story forward.
