Karadayi (2012)
Superior in every way!
My heart sings, cries, laughs, and warms as I watch this series. I find that I can not watch the American TV series as the modern producers seem to go for cheap sex, bad humor, and shallow content. My opinion may be viewed as being bias and general but as I compare the content, and the depth of the story and acting in Karadayi I can only say that it superior in every way. It successfully portrays real selfless love not just between the main two characters, Mahir and Feride but allow love for family, neighbors and friends. The characters, emotion, interaction with family all feel real and genuine.The love story and struggle has left me in tears many times. I look forward to coming home and spending sometime with these characters.
Netflix customer service can provide no information on when or if the remaining series will be aired and so I wait with the hope that Netflix will stop streaming partial seasons of these foreign TV shows and either get all on the seasons and air them or not put them on the site for viewing; it is frustrating and annoying.
Velvet (2013)
Great Series- But not sure why is is billed a love story between Ana and Alberto
I have watched and enjoyed this series for over a month; but I am confused and disappointed that the directors/creators of the series summarize the series as a great love story between Ana and Alberto. Yes they grew up together and loved each other deeply at that time, however the way the story has turned both seem to have gone on with their own lives and are just friends. Alberto seems to have lost himself and seems weak and aimless; he seems to love his wife who he married through a contract but...the main love story seems to have died.
The way the plot develops from the beginning between Ana and Alberto is not consistent with the way people behave when they have real true quality love that spans years!!! I know it is just a movie but the audience should be able to identify with the lives of the characters.
I have rated the series as a 7 because the story line has become disappointing and somewhat boring with the dismantling of the deep bond of love that Ana and Alberto first started with. I'm not sure if this will change; I don't see how this will happen, but I hope the two will eventually come together with the depth of love and intensity (with new found maturity) that they had at the beginning of the series.
I have viewed all of season 2 that is available on Antena 3, painfully translating the Spanish sub-titles through Google; so yes I am hoping that these two will come together at the end because of the sacrifices they made for all but themselves.
