What is good about Fi is that it is mostly dependent heavily on character depth as it was expected from a book adaptation. Main 5 characters are all well balanced. As episodes progress, deep layers of characters revealed to viewers and viewer stance in favor or against any character may subject to change. By showing gray areas of characters; viewers may empathize with every main character some point even if they had judgements prior about them. It is really hard to determine who is protagonist and antagonist in this story.
Even though characters can be praised with their development, it has to be confessed that they are not original at all. Maybe the most important character, Duru which main plot line revolves around, is just an adaptation of Nina Sayes (portrayed by Natalie Portman) in Black Swan. A young dancer who is pure and innocent at first glance but has extreme passions. Others are not different too; Can Manay a cliché anti-hero, egoist and machiavellist on surface, but whose hurtful past and prior traumas compensate all. Lastly Deniz, first portrayed like a selfless fairy- tale musician turns out to be a prodigal, selfish and self-centered guy who values only his likenesses.
Besides main characters, side stories also enrich plot and make Fi. But they are also lack the originality as their main counterparts. Just like the main characters they all live at extremes. They are merely a representatives of major beliefs, ideologies and movements. Sadik Murat Kolhan; a rich "almighty" media boss, Özge; a LGBT activist who fights for freedom etc.
Overall, an experienced viewer can guess almost everything that will happen as story progresses. This aspect lowers the overall quality of series and declines viewer enthusiasm. But Fi saves the show by great acting, perfect music, a good story and well balanced characters.
