Started off well, good acting direction and original settings but proved to be predictable mostly and too stretched out, could have been done in 5 episodes not 8.
Also so relentlessly gloomy. Trust me Istanbul is not full of misery as this series suggests.
The direction is influenced by Nuri B Ceylan with the beautiful set up still scenes but like Ceylan it suffers from over long scenes.
Overall good show great acting but too many contrived scenes, too many coincidences to help move the plots rather than character driven.
Better than most netflix but a long way from being a masterpiece
