No doubt - the best Turkish series ever! Plus the best Turkish actor Engin Akyürek and the best couple in Turkish cinema - Engin-Tuba A pleasure to watch - I can watch it over and over and over again, many many, many times.
One cannot tear oneself away from the screen, regardless of the fact that there are 54 original episodes of 2+ hours each.
The series has it all - an incredibly interesting story, raising serious issues, and themes universally valid everywhere in the world and touching every human been - love, family and family values, true friendship, problems of social class differences, corruption in the police and prosecution, money laundering, greed, mafia, crimes, and a lot more...
All the actors in the series play beautifully, led by the unique Engin Akurek (who received an Emmy nomination and won the grand prize at the Seoul International Drama Festival for his role as Commissioner Omer).
Engin and Tuba side by side like Omer and Elif are a feast for the eyes. A talented, gorgeous on-screen couple!
