The Phoenix (2020–2021) User Reviews

Something went wrong somewhere...

[nyabhzz · 3/10 · 25 February 2021]

I loved this series as it was starting. i felt there was going to be a great story to be told but then after episode 15 I felt things go down hill. Nevertheless, I cannot help but smile when I remember some good memories from watching this one.

Interesting

[makropoulouk · 3/10 · 2 March 2020]

The plot is interesting but the scenery is a little bit depressing.Male actor is convincing but female actress -though of exceptional beauty-needs to work on facial expressions

supporting actor and actress are much better than the lead

[bandamlouji · 4/10 · 17 October 2021]

Yes for sure the story line is a bit different for some many other shows. Some reviewers consider that the storyline is not realistic, I say it is if you come from the middle east.. yes you hear of such stories in real life and good that they introduced it.. But the main negative side is it drags and drags, tiresome, and boring in lots of scenes... lead actress is the worst choice.. lead actor is acceptable but not outstanding .. I personally likes the supporting actor and actress much more (Sue Handan and her husband Hamid).. Sue Handan was almost perfect in acting her role.. I dont there is a need for a season three because they will not add anything more after the conclusion they gave in episode 26.

One of the worst series I've ever watched

[tixietix · 1/10 · 13 July 2021]

Most of the Turkish series are like this but... ew. A character in this show has TWO FRICKING WIVES... And that character also slept with an UNDERAGE girl and got her PREGNANT. And that girl's sister forced him to marry her and he didn't accept so the girl committed SUICIDE. Women are treated like objects and the acting is really, really bad. This, is not real. In any way. These people create a disgusting world and call it "Töre". If you want to waste your time, but with watching a disgusting show, then go ahead and watch it.

The badies!

[colleensonnyhoward · 26 November 2020]

I love the series but get pretty tired of the bad people not being punished, that drags on too long. Abbass should have been locked away for good ages ago or killed!

Doormat story -Avoid

[lisajanalynn · 2/10 · 22 November 2023]

If you're a strong female, this series will annoy you, so skip. This might be a culture thing (I'm an American), but the heroine drove me absolutely crazy with her spineless doormat behavior.

Shes not just a doormat for the main male lead, but with every character. Shes so weak and dumb that even a child could control her.

Furthermore, acting was terrible. The side characters were better actors than the main leads.

SPOILER When the main lead's ex fiancee showed up with their secret child, h divorced the main female lead and married his ex-fiancee- when the main female was in a coma/her deathbed.

Even this betrayal doesnt take long for her to forgive.

Depressing-setback again- however acting is excellent.

[shimmer-72080 · 5/10 · 7 April 2020]

From ongoing continuity of depressing scenes story was getting better. Then, actor seem to quickly believe those he never knew for validating his suspicions, only to punish the woman he loves. It seems to be one of them soaps start to finish depressing.

Hooked

[himanibhatth · 10/10 · 1 June 2020]

Stellar location and the story. Something different from regular Turkish dramas. Alp Navruz and Ceren Yilmaz will get you hooked with their chemistry and the story is so fine that you would want to watch it again and again. Can't comment on story since it has not completed yet due to the COVID - 19 shutdown.

Love , pain , action , sacrifices , mystery , content and of course a beautiful cast awaits. Happy watching.

Worth watching but ..!

[Sara516 · 7/10 · 26 February 2020]

I like the story-line so much. The plot is amazing. I would give it 10/10 if the protagonist is someone other-than (Zümrüt). Unfortunately, her acting is bad. Her facial expressions do not reflect her feelings and emotions. She needs to work more on her self. The rest of the actors are so good specially Abbas and Sarhat.

Excellent

[aalirodina · 9/10 · 19 May 2020]

An excellent show zümrut is so pretty her acting is great starting from episode 5 Serhat is the rich annodolian man all the cast is perfect one of the best shows Alp his acting here is so strong and shows a lot of feelings personally one of my favorite shows

Good storyline

[soumayaal · 7/10 · 31 December 2020]

Okay first season is literally 10/10 it was amazing thrilled and kept me on the edge. However the actress Ceren isn't talented, I feel she doesn't know how to act as well! And there's barely any chemistry between alp and ceren. But second season I would give it 3/10 it became too boring. please step up your game or you might have to end the series soon.

Excellent

[ljeff-34233 · 10/10 · 22 March 2021]

They were both amazing on the screen.. together they are 🔥🔥.. Bravo 👍

Different story

[kalyanibalu · 7/10 · 1 June 2023]

I started watching this serial purely for Alp Navruz - he looks so handsome and macho - he looks n acts awesome especially in season 2. Although sometimes the story doesn't move forward n so depressing - especially when Love doesn't get reciprocated ,it's Saddening.

I don't know the name of the actress who plays Denise Akbash - she is cute n charming.

Scenes of Serath n ishik ( little girl) is very cute n charming !

Sad moments could have been trimmed a bit so that viewers could close with happy feeling.

Abbas acting is good but drags little bit.

Overall Alp Navruz n the little girl together lift serial's viewing content. We could had more of it.

Good One

[poojagangaraju · 10/10 · 28 November 2020]

Worth watching .Good storyline and great work by the cast specially Alp Navruz and actor playing Abbas They have just nailed the character of Serhat and Abbas

Its Awesome

[nikithachandra · 10/10 · 10 November 2020]

I love this serial love from india yes the story line is normal where everyone is against love but the cast has done a great job from serhut ,zumrut, Abbas and ulfet really good acting . Love from India ..

I really love this film

[suhaibhass · 10/10 · 20 November 2020]

I love this story so much and I wish complete this movie because we love it so much and we are set on fire for 20

Season 1 - story is gripping and I finished it almost in 1 day

[sumanapearl · 9/10 · 24 November 2020]

Season 1 was excellent. Story is nice. Zumrut doesn't know much of acting but she is beautiful. Male actor Alp is very good. Story of season 1 is the so strong that , as an audience you wish to continue watching it.

Rated one less than 10, due to acting not as par excellence of female lead

The best drama

[bilaalm-61565 · 10/10 · 3 January 2021]

This is the best Turkish romantic drama I ve seen. It's a family drama. Sehat and zumrat are made for each other. Would they be castedin another drama, or will there be more details I'd thai drama.

Fantastic drama actors are brilliant

Good one

[toobaafreen · 9/10 · 18 April 2021]

I liked it alp is great actor and story plot is different from other series must watch series.

Very interesting

[vipkc · 9/10 · 17 February 2021]

Very nice love story and very interesting to watch with good acting .. little drama but all goes well

An interesting story

[aboory-09839 · 8/10 · 1 July 2023]

An interesting story that I think could have been even better if the writers have made few changes for some of the events and characters. The two main characters are fine. Sometimes a bit cold. My favorite was the character of Sue-Handan. Her character developed through the events to become stronger woman who can stand up against the wrongs of her father and grandmother. I also liked the developing love between Sue Handan and her husband Hamid. I wish they have made some changes to their storyline. The uncle Abbas , the grandmother and Zumurt's mother, Meleha and everyone else did great acting their roles.

The best Turkish series couple ever

[nbswzjmxf · 10/10 · 4 September 2021]

I have seen many many Turkish series but this one is different. The amazing chemistry between the couple will make you want to watch more and more!! Great acting and an interesting script that was very new to me.

Good

[trnmmyry · 8/10 · 9 March 2021]

First season was great, but the second season saw more actresses, who unfortunately played poorly

It should continue

[yarapf · 10/10 · 25 March 2021]

The first season was one of the best I saw in Turkish series, the chemestry between Alp Navruz and Cerem Yilmaz its amazing... Second season... They changed quite much of houses and locations due to covid 19...and i think it should be a third season... Because many things were left without answer. Where did zumrut lil sister stayed, where Meliha went... Third season zumrut father should appear with more secrets etc. Loved to see the location in Cappadoccia
