    I can not stop crying...

    It is one of my favorite TV series right now. The story line is quite hearth touching and focusses man's disadvantaged life with a uncommon job. Musics at the end of each part too emotional paralel with the how harsh the situation. Each part follows a self development for the main character name is "Baki" and the way of the path such a unique for Turkish TV series that is also touches people hearth. Background sounds are too crystal clear also used to help you that emotional feelings with. I want to thank you to TABII and TRT to stream such a unforgettable TV series. I am very interested to see 2nd and even 3rd seasons of this TV series.

    A Perfect dark comedy

    A Perfect dark comedy mixed with loneliness and sadness.

    The Gassal is very popular in Turkey now.

    While watching the series, you constantly question life and death. The value judgments of society and the roles and expectations it assigns to you are truly the reality of life.

    You may find something from yourself while watching it. A sad black humor.

    After always seeing Ahmet Kural in comedy movies, it feels very different to see her in such a series and character.

    Ahmet Kural did Perfect job and the supporting actors / actress was really good. Director Selçuk Aydemir was good.

    Now I'm looking forward to the next season. I hope they continue in the same vein.

    A Different Yet Flawed Drama

    I watched Gassal from start to finish. It was good, dramatic, and occasionally funny. However, there were repetitive scenes that felt unnecessary and too long at times. Additionally, the episode titles and images often gave away the ending. For instance, it wasn't hard to predict the final scene of the last episode. When they hinted at a very sad ending, it became obvious. Thankfully, the ending wasn't as dramatic as I expected.

    The series felt a bit overrated. Episode 3 was terrible, and some episodes were mediocre. However, episodes 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 were good. Overall, I'd rate it a 7/10 because the concept, while unique, didn't feel like something that could be significantly expanded. The stories were well-crafted, but there were many repetitive scenes that didn't add any humor or depth.

    Ahmet Kural's performance was excellent, but most of the supporting characters were mediocre. The song "Icim Yanar" at the end really touched me; its harmony with the ending was perfect. I also liked the images at the beginning of the episodes and the opening theme song. However, despite the short duration of the series, there were too many music transitions.

    I only pushed through because I was curious about the ending. Otherwise, episodes 2, 3, and 4 had some painfully boring scenes that I struggled to get through. Sensitive viewers might find this series deeply emotional and dramatic. When I think of everything that happened to Baki as a whole, I feel sad.

    In conclusion, I'd give this series a 7/10. I can't rate it lower because it's different and intriguing in its own way.

    Are you concerned about what happens to your body after you die?

    This is a series that everyone who thinks about it should watch. The internal conflicts of the character played by Ahmet Kural, finding things that are ordinary for everyone strange, seeing situations that are abnormal for everyone as very normal and being used to them like "the dead" and having difficulty finding someone to marry, I learned a lot from myself. What happens to a single undertaker or a body washer who is over 30 without a mother may seem funny at times for those who know Ahmet Kural and his facial expressions as a comedian. I laughed a lot in some scenes. And there is also this: the issue of God's plan. From episode 1 to episode 10, you will see how every problem is solved with pain and distress and what other tests it opens the door to. Watch it with your spouse if you have one. If you are single, this series will hurt you a little. In my opinion, it may be one of the top 3 best international Turkish TV series made in recent years.

    Best tv show ever

    Best tv show i have ever watched. First 10 minutes you laugh every second. Last 10 minutes you cry every second. It is very emotional and touches your heart. Gassal means in islam when you die before they put the body under the ground a washer cleans the body and prepare for the funeral. All actors especialy Ahmet Kural put a very undisputed performance. Also the songs are amazing and matches the emotional scenes. The episodes are thirty minutes long. I finished the first season in one day and willing to watch season 2. Finally who has involved such an amazing show congratulations from my heart.
