Much better than the present rating of 6.7. Caught this on Netflix and was struck initially by the similarity to Cronenberg's History of Violence. I say initially because after a few episodes it veers off into more than a revenge story. The fugitive has more reason than just revenge for the assault on his family as the story evolves. Without giving away too much of the plot let's just say that the object of his revenge, a criminal family in Istanbul is not completely without merit and deserves some sympathy in spite of their misdeeds. Give it a try if you have the stamina for 30 or so episodes.
