Black Money Love (2014–2015)
5/10
20 Episodes too long

Warning: Spoilers
I love Turkish dramas and I watch every one that comes to Netflix. This one was very very good until the second half. Then, in order to make it last longer, they began to repeat certain plot structures...over and over until I knew what would happen before it happened. The last 20 episodes did this to the extreme and then in the last three they tried to cram in what should have been done in the previous 20. I am up to the final three and I can see that the characters will not be true to themselves. Elif is all gung-ho for cop work until her case is solved and she discovers that her whole family is knee deep in dirt. Then suddenly she finds being a cop somehow awful and tells her man it is her way or the highway. Not at all believable.. Her expressions are either hard and cold, or broken and crying or mooning over her guy. Prisons scenes soooo predictable. Little sister Nulifer was like a guppie, constantly gasping when she should be crying. Acting with her mouth. Best acting was done by Metin/Fatih and the crazy sister, Asli. They made the show. Big bother was boring with his three expressions....benevolence, mania and boo-hooing. The show would have been better at 64 episodes.

When different writers write different episodes, they lose the sense of character. They make it go off-course. This happened here. The cop as portrayed at the end was not the cop in the final episodes, but the change was not gradual enough to be believable..

Ezel, Kacak, Kurt ve Sura...and many others...Oh Yeah.
