    The Best Modern Season Ever

    Turkey was lacking such type of moral and ethical drama of modern day for years. This series is highly recommended to be watched as it shows how Muslim Ummah raise voices for the innocents of Bosnia, Irag, Palestine etc and how European and American culture is considered hateful. Pure Muslims customs and traditions are provoked and shown beautifully in it and such a beautiful poetry is presented. Its a family drama with no nude or exploit scenes and its clean and pure. An amazing story of students in universities , their Islam, morality and ethics. The youth is not inspired by the western culture and is determined to follow Islam.

    Excellent

    Bir Zamanlar Istanbul is a breathtaking television series that masterfully blends history, drama, and emotion into a captivating narrative. Set against the backdrop of Istanbul, one of the most historically rich and culturally diverse cities in the world, the series takes viewers on an unforgettable journey through time. With its stunning cinematography, compelling storytelling, and remarkable performances, Bir Zamanlar Istanbul stands out as a true masterpiece of Turkish television.

    One of the most striking aspects of the series is its ability to bring history to life. The meticulous attention to detail in set design, costumes, and historical accuracy immerses viewers in the world of old Istanbul. Every street, palace, and marketplace is carefully reconstructed to reflect the city's past, making the audience feel as if they have stepped into another era. This authenticity not only enhances the visual experience but also deepens the emotional connection between the audience and the story.

    The plot of Bir Zamanlar Istanbul is another remarkable element that sets it apart from other historical dramas. The series masterfully weaves together personal struggles, political intrigues, and societal transformations, creating a rich and multi-layered narrative. The characters are intricately developed, each with their own unique backgrounds, motivations, and conflicts. As the story unfolds, viewers become deeply invested in their journeys, experiencing moments of joy, heartbreak, and triumph alongside them.

    The performances of the cast elevate the series to new heights. Each actor brings depth and authenticity to their role, making the characters feel incredibly real and relatable. The lead actors deliver powerful and emotionally charged performances, capturing the essence of their characters with remarkable skill. Even the supporting cast contributes significantly to the overall quality of the show, ensuring that every scene is filled with emotion and intensity.

    Another standout feature of Bir Zamanlar Istanbul is its stunning cinematography. The series makes excellent use of Istanbul's breathtaking landscapes, showcasing the city's timeless beauty. From the grandeur of the Bosphorus to the intricate alleyways of the old town, every shot is visually mesmerizing. The use of light, shadow, and color enhances the mood of each scene, creating an immersive experience that draws viewers deeper into the story.

    The series also excels in its soundtrack, which complements the emotional tone of the narrative perfectly. The music enhances key moments, heightening the drama and evoking a sense of nostalgia. Traditional Turkish melodies blend seamlessly with orchestral compositions, adding another layer of richness to the storytelling.

    Beyond its entertainment value, Bir Zamanlar Istanbul offers a thought-provoking exploration of history, culture, and human resilience. It sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of past generations, reminding viewers of the enduring spirit of Istanbul and its people. The series serves as both a tribute to the city's rich heritage and a celebration of its timeless allure.

    In conclusion, Bir Zamanlar Istanbul is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates historical dramas, compelling storytelling, and outstanding cinematography. With its engaging narrative, exceptional performances, and breathtaking visuals, the series leaves a lasting impression on its audience. Whether you are a fan of Turkish television or new to the genre, Bir Zamanlar Istanbul promises an unforgettable viewing experience that will stay with you long after the final episode.

    A very unique series with excellent scenario and cast

    I really enjoyed every single episode of this amazing series. The drama is very well written and the cast are extremely good. The story is very unique and deep. It has lots of values and morals that we are missing in nowadays series.

    It's a shame that they are ending it but thank you for at least completing the story and not ending it abruptly. As it can be very annoying watching a series and ending it without finishing the story. However, although the rating was not good since the start, it still gave us a beautiful 16 episodes to allow to finish the story. That's really much appreciated....

    NOT recommend, there is nothing

    As I said, highly NOT recommend for the following reasons:

    1. There is no logic, coherence and cohesion.

    2. Complete miscast.

    How 35 year old main actor and actress can play students? Are there not enough actors in Turkey?

    The female lead overacts, it's impossible to watch, and I just kept skipping some scenes until I no longer see her.

    The male actor is like a statue, no emotions, no wrinkles, I mean he doesn't look like a student.

    3. So much stigma on society and specific political values imposed on the viewers considering the production company that is working on it. Wrong values of the nation, society, students and so on.
