The Steppe (2018– ) User Reviews

Turkish Cohle & Hart

[orkunberkyuzbasioglu · 9/10 · 31 July 2019]

Same themes/elements as in the True Detective Season 1: A dead body found under a tree, missing children, a troubled detective duo, abandoned school, a business magnate and his family. Throughout the series, emphasis is given to rural Turkish town life. However, not any aspects of rural town life is shown until the final episodes in the series. Supporting characters are cartoonish like the chief of town police.

Overall a good series with Anatolia steppes shootings.

like a steppe...

It's full by surprise like a steppe. When you start to thinking it's immobile, suddenly it's being motion. Especially, end of the series (s1.e10) the best.

I watched it with pleasure. I have always loved the steppe areas and solitude. The actors and their acting are at a high level. I recommend it. However, the ending was not as good as I hoped.

Excellent Series

Another excellent series out of Turkey. An intelligent and complex plot which is brought together artfully. Some excellent characters, and fine actors. Set in a small town, it is an interesting and nicely filmed look at rural culture. Turkey is producing some high quality drama these days. Well worth a look.

Outstanding

Catchy plot and nice shooting. Perfect depiction of a small Anatolian town with realistic characters.

Bozkir is a wonderfull serial. Thx. We are expecting new episodes like true detective. It's actually true detective Turkiye

Outstanding Mystery/Thriller

[msgpat · 10/10 · 29 August 2020]

One of the best detective series I've watched in a long time. Great well developed characters; nice little sub-plots that don't detract or interfere with the main plot. Acting direction and great shots of the Steppes. Oh, and a superb twist at the end!

The story of murder in the steppe

[Orhan_Akdeniz · 6/10 · 15 April 2020]

Turkish TV series in digital platforms are beautiful. Other Turkish series are very boring. This series makes the audience curious. It tells about a murder and the steppe life. In the film, the steppe life is unrealistic.

final like Got

Everybody died dilara was thre and dont help anyone

Not good, not bad

[ilcattivo-98186 · 5/10 · 11 July 2020]

I don't know how this show got more than 8/10. Story is great and intriguing, but narration is mediocre. And there's much too much blabbing. Everyone's blabbing. It's worse than soap opera. Even some dying one's are constantly blabbing. Acting is uneven. Yigit Özsener is quite good, Nur Fettahoglu too, but on the other side is Ekin Koç. And Altan Erkekli - pure acting tragedy, especially in his last scene. Another thing. I hope real Turkish Polis officers are not so unprofessional and clumsy as those in Bozkir. They even don't know how to use fingerprints - if they do, this show would be not ten, but six or seven episodes long. And how Nuri got his promotion to Lieutenent is the greatest mystery in the world. He's the worst policeman I've ever seen in movie or tv series. To sum up, if not some brilliant scenes, that saved this show (the last one with Bülent Düzgünoglu is pure fun), exotic sceneries, people and their habits, I would have given it even less stars. So, if You're not Turkish or fan of soap operas, or if You're policeman, or You're used to better quality of crime dramas, watching this show could be a challenge.
