Yabani

When you think you know anything... you don't. Excellently written story, with unexpected turns and a pen that reflects the true contrast of rich x poor and the layers of such complex story. I've not watched a series like this in years. From the insanely talented actors to the incredible script, every episode gets better and more intense. I barely finished episode 7 today and I find myself EAGER for the next one next week.

I have to shoutout the insanely talented HALIT ÖZGÜR SARI, our main lead, for delivering flawless performances every week.

For dizi watchers: Yabani go hand in hand with the legendary turkish mafia drama Içerde. Yeah, it's THAT good.

So far the series is one of the best. Raises the issues os social class in a powerful and realistic way.

Yabani Ali is a great protaganist. You empathize and fall in love with him immediately. His mother also is so gifted in this role as is the entire family including the unwelcoming evil twin siblings, mean and up to no good so far. I hope they mellow a bit bc continuing on that path will soon be too much oa a trope, tiring to watch and unnecessary to tell this often both heartbreaking and uplifting story.

The plot revolving around Yabani's street family is also heartwarming to watch and Im also hoping that part of the plot doesnt deteriorate.

I'm on episode 2, but the writing is frustrating. Through out the whole episode, I'm screaming " go to the POLICE", it's almost like turkey is a jungle with the rich being first class citizens. The police are constantly breaking the law, doing things they will get sued for in real life and people are comically evil, and extremely annoying.

A missing child at the age of 5 and no one recognised him? Maybe his parents couldn't recognise an older him, but his grandpa? No way these old men can smell DNA Also, Every time the doctor mother tries to do something selfless, the whole family cries and tells her she's too invested in her " lost" son. Which has nothing to do with anything. It's very annoying.

The lack of chemistry between the cast members is also hurting the series.

This review is based on the first 3 episodes - only 3 episodes released to-date. The story is very moving and focuses on Ali who was kidnapped and lived in the streets. At his adult age, he discovered his biological family but can he return to live with them? Can all of the family members accept them? Who kidnapped him and why? I'm glad the series so far is pretty fast in pace and I especially like a strong hero and Hali Ozgur Sari is great as Yaman. However much they beat this guy, he comes up stronger and more determined. And the great thing about the plot is that he really wants to find out who kidnapped him and why. I like that part of the plot. I was afraid that once he discovered his new family, the series may move focus on family drama of jealousy, fitting in or not fitting in, etc. I hope our hero's path will be less predictable and an interesting plot will unfold itself as the series continues. The entire cast is good too and especially like to watch Yaman's mother, father, grandfather and also Yaman's "street sister".

Seeing an amazing TV show after a break, all the characters are well written and directed. The cast did an amazing job. This is my first Turkish TV show and it turned out to be so amazing. Kudos to the cast and crew behind this show. The best part is this show turns out to be so realistic. Looking forward for the episodes ahead.

The Story is about a boy who was kidnapped and left on the streets when he was young. The story progresses by showing the life and livelihoods of people on the streets.

The lifestyle Differences and the gap between the rich and the poor ,and how children born in rich families take everything for granted is beautifully portrayed in the show.

Overall from my point of view the Show is amazing and is a must watch for Turkish drama lovers.
