A different tv show but....
yavsaliha16 March 2021
Good series. Different from that of others, who always tell the same subject: Loves, Riches Pauvres ect. Always the same subjects, Turkish TV looks more for Titles than content. This series is much more developed, there is no separatism between rich and poor finally in the 1 st episode. It's different from other Turkish series. The negative side is that you always see the same actors, what you want are new actors. Also, it's really long, 2 hours! You can't watch that many minutes. But if you want to watch a different thing that the others tv show of Turkey, I recommend it to you.

azrahmobin10 March 2021
After viewing cukur I always wanted an action thriller with such a storyline. Was really impressive and I really cant wait for episode 2.if I could I would give 11, was really impressive, I am really satisfied that finally something of my kind .it's reaaly complicated to find thriller dramas as most of the population love romance and comedy but something wonderful action thrillers come out like this.

Nonsense!
Josh197828 November 2023
There are a lot of turkish series. And unfortunalety the most are just bad. This is nothing else. It has a lot of unnecessary long takes. They try to be funny and serious but it won't work. Acting is perhaps good for the majority of turkish productions but in real most actors are acting terrible. The characters are so boring and there's nothing special at them. And you hear always the background music, especially when it is boring and they wanna put some drama or something else.

In most turkish productions it is enough when you are pretty and it is not important to be a good actor. In this kind of productions you don't to be good, because the writers know their audience and for them it is good enough.

Story is flat and there are always the same victims (woman growing up in bad family) and it is showing turkish stereotypes.

Overall I have to say that it hurts watching this show and it is a shameful feeling for every person who loves and knows Turkey and turkish people. This show is just nonsense.

Wow I wasn't expecting that much...
sukrancetik59 March 2021
This film is very accurate, and very well written. If you want to learn the latest events you can learn by watching this TV series.

Probably they are using actual events, so that's why very realistic. I can't wait to see next episode. Cast is also very good as well as directing and filming. That's why they are easily raising our expectations. I hope this excitement never ends.

To the entire casts of this series!
megaheart-998452 May 2022
To the writer(s), director(s), staff and casting of this series; If you wished to make a political series, at least you could study how we run our country so you wouldn't look so dumb by mistreating your viewers and telling lies after lies and spreading hate among your reviewers? What did you earned for taking down the entire nation by showing how good you are and how horrible we are!! What was the reason behind that? Have you ever visited my country? Do you know how does our fine men and women in Uniforms look like and how they behave? You hired bunch of naive amateur players to act as our service men? Have you ever seen at least one of them up closed? You guys have described us as been nasty, animals like behavior, wished we would go to hell, throwing like a trash the newspaper and above all: innocent people killer! "Innocent? Are you joking?" Their blood is red and ours is Purple? When they attack our innocent people are you jumping around happy and dancing around? Are you even a human?!! When you were showing some dirty part of your county as my county, were you on right mind or you were drank! At least you could hire someone with "some knowledge" of language so you wouldn't look so stupid by putting the sing on the walls upside down!! How do you know how our political jails looks like? Did you know that some of them became educated and now as a free men they running their own business? How do you know how the secret service department look like? I'm not sure if you have received an official permit from your intelligence service department for making this series or ever from your Islamic dictator president, but shame on you by disrespecting him since he's officially (again) became a friend of my country! Shame on all of you! 👎🏻

Very slow but feel good
blackcurrant4430 December 2021
Good watch. Season 1 was great. Season 2 is sometimes very predictable. This is definitely nonot filled with cliffhangers but at the same time does have some nail biting storylines. Uzai is very monotonous. Gurjan is naive sometimes. After every successful act of countering terrorism acts "istebu" is very very childish. Thank God they have given a dimension to Jeren in the recent episodes. But I liked Halit bey more than Mete bey. Kudos to Serder & Zehra. Love Hulki & Hakki bey is a darling. Good watch with family.

More than amazing...
mahenur15 March 2021
2 to 3 hour of action film is easy to make in comparison of an action series of which every episode is like a good hollywood thriller. Very well directed star cast is amazing Caglar and Deniz are incomparable as they are already a favourite couple from fazilet hanim ve kizlari a very different chemistry is shown between them. Believe me u wouldn't get bored a single second of the 2 hour episode.

Over 3000 times Marak etme (don't worry)
Yahya_Adada3 October 2023
You will hear the sentence "Don't worry" every other 3 lines. Every episode of season 3 claims the biggest operation the terrorists are planning. Weakest plot writing ever seen; full of loopholes and stupid mistakes. Shooting and explosive effects are mediocre the least. Irrational decisions are the theme of every stence. The grandiosity of the Turkish intelligence the series try hardly to inflates, failed by their repetitive clichés. The intellegencia control room can intercept phone calls on the moon, and open hotel rooms or jam cameras in any country in the world. Least but not least, all foreigners even in their own countries speak Turkish. Very frustrating 3rd season.

At least try little bit
mehmetfurkanatici30 April 2023
I mean scenario is fine whatever but, ffs at least put some effort into it. It seems like everyone shooting bbs to each other. Awful CGI. Please at least try. Acting is awful too. Like everything seems so fake. Nothing literally happens for 2 hours. Saying it's boring could be a good thing to say for it. In summery it is just plain bad, half baked, nor effort, mocking the viewers. In conclusion, it appears to suffer from a number of shortcomings that detract from the viewer's enjoyment and engagement. The lack of effort put into the production, combined with poor special effects and acting, creates an underwhelming viewing experience. It is important for filmmakers to recognize the importance of quality production and engaging storytelling in order to create a satisfying viewing experience for audiences.

Fresh look for Turkish drama
hancerorkun28 March 2021
First I love to watch Ankara instead of Istanbul in a series, yes there are minor probs with the script, but a really fresh look, of course its natonalistic but doesnt try to be hypocrat...

SOMETHING NEW
yusufkaanatanur7 March 2021
They really tried something new. The general idea and the screenplay is nice but the show lacks in pacing and the story doesn't really push itself. This problem causes the show to not have a consistent style. All these aside, my main problem with the show is the length of each episode. The episodes being as lengthy as they are causes filibusters as side plots and ruins the viewing experience. Overall, they tried something new but it didn't work out as well as expected for them.

Great acting, poor script
Kubilay_K21 March 2021
With the great cast, this series had potential. I enjoy the camera and sound in combination with the acting. Unfortunately, the script and with that said the plot is so stereotyped and cringe I stopped watching it.

Please bring Chaglar Artugrul back to his place. please..
ostadsaruzi19 February 2023
Turkish managers have a bad habit; If they want to remove a character from the series, they kill him. There is no way but death?

Frankly, I am very disgusted with such stupid work by the directors. Casting Zehra in the lead role instead of Serdar is another bad move. Even if Zehra was left out, it wouldn't have been as bad as it would have been if Serdar had been left out. You have to understand that when you make a series with someone as the main character if you drop him in the middle, it is no longer watchable.

Return Serdar to his place immediately. Unlike Zehra, this new actor can be ruled out. Doesn't suit Zehra.

Otherwise, I won't start season 3. Farewell to this series.

A Turkish perspective to world politics.
redlightlessness4 October 2021
It's based on real events and displays a view from Turkey's perspective. It's no different than tons of such USA biassed TV shows like Homeland etc... So agree or not if you want to diversify your knowledge on what's happening it's a nice watch. It displays the war going underground among Soviet era allies those who would like to keep their cold war era influence and Turkey trying to rip through US dependence.

We want Çaglar Ertugrul who plays Sardar
ibnphulan19 February 2023
Loved everything about this series. But Serdar, Pinar and Hulki should not have been excluded like this. Either way, you should have kept Serdar. You have brought the series so far with Serdar as the main character. It was not right to suddenly drop him and bring another actor.

When I finished the 2nd season, I saw that the director did a very bad job. He eliminated the main character Çaglar Ertugrul. Anyway, I won't be watching this series again. I feel like I've been wasting my time for so long. Return the serdar to its original position if possible. If not, I will not watch this series again.

Goodye 😡😡
