Subat

I really didn't think I would like this at first---It looked like it would be a mix of Beauty and the Beast with Ninja Turtles. Some of the acting was way over the top, so I thought this might be for a younger audience.

Once I gave it a chance I got completely pulled in to the story. The plot is very complicated, with several plots interwoven. Some are crime stories, some are love stories, and some are about fate, fraternity, loyalty, and betrayal. Also abuse and mental illness. There are medical experiments and a quest for eternal life.

I loved most of the acting. The backstories and character development made me sympathetic for all but the most evil bad guys. Subat and Yagmur especially change a lot as they mature in this story.

No spoiler--but the ending is extraordinary.

Like most of these Turkish shows there is no sex shown but there is a lot of violence.

At times it was obvious that the subtitles had mistakes--especially mixing masculine and feminine pronouns. It made me wonder what else I was missing.

I love Turkish Dramas but I really love this show. So many great characters. Funny, sad, dramatic, love, forgiveness, everything. I wish we had good television like Turkish dramas. I am thankful that Netflix shows so many. I recommend everyone watch this show. I am learning the Turkish language so that I can watch good series and movies like this. Shows like this help me learn the language.

I was looking forward to this Turkish remake of the class TV show beauty and the beast I did not know what to expect since the original is almost to copy but so far after watching 13 episodes I can say that it is am interesting remake of course the setting story and characters like the original is very fictional and has nothing to do with reality unlike the original the hero is not a beast but rather a disfigured homeless naive guy living in Istanbul tunnels he is fascinated by a rich TV presenter their meeting starts a chain of unpredictable events

the acting is top notch the guy playing subat is very convincing but maybe a little too good looking to play a creepy man but whats really outstanding about the show is the director I have never seen a TV show with such excellent cinematic direction at least not in Turkish shows

the show does have flows mostly with the writing its sometimes way over the top and sometimes cheesy but so was the original

overall worth checking out by fans of the original

In the reviews someone asked how to watch this with English subtitles. You can watch this with English subtitles thanks to Netflix buddy.

This series is of unexpected quality from a Turkish series. A perfect set of unique characters and legendary scripts awaits you!

A unique blend of 360 degrees of emotions ranging from love and sensitivity to cruelty and hatred. Actors are superior in every sense and their portrayals become real. The explitives told by Aziz at the beginning of each episode casts the duality of human nature and conflicts and questions that construct such behavior. A learning experience for the viewer interleaved with tears and fear link humanities best and worst behavior. Had it not been for the sophomoric fighting scenes I would have given the show 10 stars.
