The mututal treatment of two troubled souls could only be described in such a normal, ordinary simplicity and magnificence. Even if they break up ... they're fine now ...

The Gift (2019–2021)
6/10
The series is leaning against the cliches
31 December 2019
The series is leaning against the cliches, but the quality of the shot was fine.

Although there are many mistakes in the script, it can be watched especially by Melis Senolsun and Civan Canova's acting. The script seems to have been unable to capture the tempo that it needs to slowly make the audience solve the mystery.

Beren Saat and Mehmet Günsur couldn't get through. This means that a managerially strong directing staff could not motivate players enough.

In the era of mystical and fantastic productions such as Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Dark, it takes much more than this, to attract the audience.

Anyways, thanx to all who made it happen!

Chance (2016–2017)
8/10
Brilliant Series Finale
4 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler Alert: This season was totally a different and darker story: The vigilante duo added more sidekicks to the team and they hunted bullies, perverts and a serial killer gang.

The family issues got harder to solve, friendships tightened, antagonists got sicker. And all came down to a conclusion where "all is well".

Hugh Laurie acted like he was House again. He likes to act that way because people love him and his portrayal of Dr. House.

Unfortunately lots of people haven't watched or even heard of there was a Hugh Laurie's medical-crime drama airing.

So I guess the second season finale was the series' finale. And it felt good at last to watch him re-discovering (or remembering) that why he bothered to mess up with all the bad guys after all: For good people's sake!

Cheers Dr. Chance!

The Revenant (I) (2015)
7/10
Leo finally will get the Oscar. But what about the state of the art Bear The Magnificent?
11 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
There is no doubt for me that Leonardo DiCaprio will finally embrace his "deserved a long time ago" Oscar statuette. Last night's Golden Globe win is the best proof for that.

But what about the Bear the Magnificent, mauling Hugh Glass (Leo's role name) to protect her cubs?

I was amazed by the fact that bear was actually a VFX project developed by the mighty ILM team. I thought it was a real Grizzly dude, well trained bear playing side by side with Leo and stunts.

ILM used its Zeno pipeline for simulation, Maya for animation and Pixar's RenderMan for rendering.

Bravo to all the team that created this masterpiece simulated- animation. They, too, deserve a VFX Oscar this year.

True Detective: Down Will Come (2015)
Season 2, Episode 4
10/10
What an Episode? Best shootout of all since S01E04-Who Goes There
13 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Loved this episode. Best action scene since the mentioned episode in the title.

The end was staged well, simply harsh;truthfully did not expect it coming since all but the three survived. So they have a mutual and shared instinct of survival which will make the bonds stronger in between.

Some say "Pizzolatto and company were trying to recapture the magic of the Season 1 Crash-and-Ginger escape from the housing project shootout, but couldn't quite pull it off." which I strongly disagree. Because all the script was written and completed long before the beginning of the second season. So they can not alter what they've written.

All I felt about it was that he wanted to spice up the stagnant plot of the story.

I guess the case is a lot more complicated then it sounds and than they think.

Well done Pizzolatto!
