Big promise that comes up way short
7 April 2020
Entertaining but that's about it. There is lots of shortcomings. First of all this way of thinking about life and about decisions in general do not appeal to my way of thinking. Do people really believe that this situation with main characters would work in real life? The idea that someone in their 30's would be willing to sacrifice their life to save their old father is just naive. The judge in her 30's is still a virgin and never belonged to anyone else can only make sense in Turkish culture , I guess. And why do they have to make , supposedly, good characters look like animals out of control when they want to make them just look mad? Just look at Mahir when he gets mad. He looks worst than a psycho. And he is supposed to be a good character. Another story is Feride. She can be tough and independent with anything and anybody else, including Mahir, when she has to but when it comes to her father she is like a 5 year old who has no say on anything and can't think for herself. Is this normal in Turkish culture or where does this come from? This show has to be based on something(every day life in Turkey?) otherwise why would they make it like this? Nazif Kara. I can't stand him. He thinks that he is a king and people, his family included, have to ask him for everything and kiss his hand! Turkish creators can't be surprised that these shows are not as appealing to western world viewers as say US shows. They get tired really quickly of the aggressive nature of the main characters when they should be portrayed maybe a bit softer ( they still can be tough without looking like caged animals). These kind of shows are probably great for third world country audiences but western world will not accept this kind of portrayal of good guys, family members like fathers and mothers control of their sons and daughters. etc.. Can't believe it that people were watching this garbage for 115 episodes. P.S. The evilness, backstabbing, disloyalty that gets portrayed in turkish shows is not seen anywhere else and I never new it existed.
