    A Slap to Day Dreams

    The world is a lie or the lie is itself (y)our 'world'. What more could Berkun Oya do to illustrate the 'fact'. In fact orange is the answer. Hence there is no question around.

    Those who only dream during the day cannot wake up. Even if they wake up, they struggle very hard to defend their dreams.

    Frankly, I always had a feeling of discomfort while watching it. Maybe the production's mind wanted it that way.

    I think I'll watch it over and over again. After all, there is always a big story where the little story is too small.

    Not to be missed for those who wish they could just sit back and watch something enjoyable. Super mind-blowing.

    A must watch!

    "A thunderous applause

    This series is quite strange and unconventional, offering the viewer a disturbing yet thought-provoking experience. From start to finish, the show presents unexpected storytelling styles that not only surprise the audience but also push them into a spiritual journey by forcing them to ask deep existential questions. The messages, often delivered through absurd, surreal, and extreme narrative techniques, are presented in such a way that they often shake the viewer. This method creates both curiosity and an unsettling effect.

    One of the central themes of the series is the burden of existence. Existence, often felt as a heavy burden in each of our lives, sometimes without us even realizing it, is explored in this show. It delves into the psychological impact of the burden of existence and the individual's struggle to survive, prompting the viewer to question deeply. The pain of being, the fight for survival, and the loneliness that accompanies this struggle are some of the most powerful narrative elements of the show. While many people search for the meaning of life, the series approaches this inquiry from a much more thoughtful and challenging perspective. At times, the viewer feels the intense pain experienced by a character, and other times, they find themselves caught within this pain.

    Survival and the struggle to live are also significant themes in this series. Each episode surrounds the viewer with deep reflections on the meaning of life. However, these reflections are not only theoretical but are also explored on an emotional and psychological level. The viewer, while observing the internal conflict of a character in every scene, begins to recognize their own internal struggles as well. This suggests that the series offers more than just a story - it attempts to touch the viewer's inner world.

    The show forces the audience to continually question the meaning of life, existence, and survival. While many people try to find the meaning of survival, this series goes a step further and reveals that life carries much deeper meanings than simply surviving. A person's life, which often passes by in a seemingly ordinary way, is seen in a completely different light through the deep pain and existential questions faced by the characters. The viewer is often disturbed while identifying with the characters, yet they also feel a deep discomfort as they observe them.

    Some episodes bring up much darker and more absurd questions about the meaning of life. These questions include the reason for human existence, the true purpose of life, and what role a person plays in this world. These questions resonate so deeply with the viewer that sometimes they seriously begin to question whether coming into this world was the right decision. The series, in this way, takes the audience not only on a journey through a story but also on a profound philosophical journey.

    Amidst all the intense emotional and philosophical experiences, the series also deeply examines human existential loneliness and the struggle to cope with it. As we watch a character's pain in search of the meaning of their existence, this pain sometimes envelops the viewer as well. Each episode echoes the human quest for meaning in life, and this quest becomes a journey within the viewer's own mind. The show thus becomes not just a series but an experience of life itself.

    Ultimately, the series invites the viewer to not only witness the dramas experienced by the characters but also to engage in the process of questioning their own life and existence. With every scene, more questions are raised about the meaning of life, and the viewer attempts to answer these questions within their own inner world. This transforms the series into much more than a simple storytelling experience. The viewer is not merely watching a narrative; they are also discovering important and profound questions about their own life.

    A very strong continues round of applause

    Berkun Oya strikes back! A special tribute and masterpiece from 2024 to the plastic arts adventure of mankind! Needless to praise how details are attentively studied and executed: From light to objects, their positions, orientation!

    Plasticity of script is strongly woven with improvise-like loaded syntax. All lead characters' phases and speech freedom is recognized. 'Flow' is felt by hearth. In my humble amateur (audience only) opinion, storytelling with absurdity is original and catching! End of 5th episode final is the zest of such climax! A frame by frame thoughtful execution mesmerized me as if an ecstatic joy is met! All five dimensions are devised with a chilling virtuosity! I am honored and lucky to track this teams' work!

    Therefore a very strong continues round of applause for such an exceptional work! That is/was/will rarely visit digital platforms.

    "An Unconventional Journey Through Life: Reflections on a Poetic Series"

    It addresses both the life we live and the feeling of being trapped in life itself, but it does so in a very unconventional way. The acting is superb and it's a marvelous work. Another interesting point is that, considering the total duration of the series (approximately 6x25 minutes), it manages to achieve this in a way that feels like poetry. It's a separate achievement that it prompts so much thought in such a short amount of time. The music at the end of the episodes is also very fitting. Don't rush to move on to the next episode. I recommend the original language with subtitles. Unfortunately, dubbing doesn't convey the same emotion." 10/10.

    Very original and beautiful plot

    I have never seen a TV-series like this before. Although I have been watching TV for more than 40 years, this is the first time I felt that I have to comment about a TV show.

    Berkun Oya's writing is phenomenal. Sometimes, a diologue/monologue or a sentence makes you laugh first, then it makes you think, and question the life and the world. The language and symbols he uses are very poetic at times. Unfortunately, some part of that beauty will be lost in translation. In some scenes, I didn't know how to react such as when little Metin was reciting a poem of Einar Georg Einarsson after witnessing his parents fight.

    Although the show's messages about parenthood, childhood, relationships, and existential questions are to some extent universal, the world Berkun Oya created speaks more directly to people who lived their childhood in the 1980s and 1990s or people who were parents in the same time period.

    I am hoping that they don't make another season and lose the originality of the show at the expense of commercial success.
