Cranberry Sorbet

It started off so well, great cast, beautiful sets and engaging storyline but the way it ended was just heartbreaking! I mean what was the writer thinking ? So many questions were left unanswered, so many characters left to the imagination of the viewers. Sad that such a promising series ended the way it did. What was the rush to end it so abruptly? I'm sure the viewers would've liked to know the fate of the lead roles, how does the senior couple resolve their conflict? Did the writer run out of a storyline? Or was he forced to write a haphazard ending ? We the viewers will never know why we were left left guessing but it was not fair to the viewers.

The first season was amusing and dealt with important topics regarding to families, different values and parts of societies; and I believe the series had the potential to become a great Turkisg series, but since the second season started, the story is not making any sense any more.

There is no logic in the story telling and I think this is a disrespect to the viewers' intelligence, so I'm going to stop watching Cranberry Sorbet from now on.

Many good characters were removed from the show in illogical ways and it's just getting unbearable and very hard to make any sense.

I give 3/10 only for the first seasons and A FEW members of the cast.

I only started to watch this series because I am very bored. First few episodes were fine but by the 5th episode I cant stand to continue this series. First it looks like they aim to bring people together but soon we realise they try to convey a horrible picture about both the beliefs mentioned in the series and ignite strife between the two parties living in the same country.

The series seems more illogical the more episodes you watch and continuously derogates the beliefs of several people. It has been an ok 5 episodes but the more I watch the more illogical it becomes, watching is becoming too irritating. The 10/10 reviews are probably from world haters who can't live in a world of differences just like the writer of this series.

First of all the life styls between two extremist ideology (Islamic and secular) are depicted wisely but that doesn't mean scriptwriter handls it good. Supreme islamist family's way of living is totally fine but the way of using language is irritating. Just like in many other Turkish soap operas, there are lots of illogical events but the amount of it gets increased. If you live in a Muslim country, you are well aware of the many situations that is "handled" in the tv series but on which side you belong affects how you see the events in the tv serie but if you in the middle, then you will be totally irritated by the behaviors of the two sides.

I was bored one day and thought of seeing the first episode of this series, more because of Sila being in it. Best decision ever, it blew my expectations and I've enjoyed each second of it. Great plot, excellent cast and good direction. Writing never gets boring, story progresses fast and characters don't act irrationally. It's the story of millions of women in the eastern world, a breath of fresh in the dizi world. 20 excellent episodes so far.

I had my doubts at first, thinking it would be a story washed with Muslim morale, never expected it to be one that would expose the hypocrisy, the wrong and the right, the lack of humanity and empathy of the conservative world too busy to put on a show for the world but very cold and ruthless inside.

Also it exposes many aspects of the so called modern society, lack of tolerance and blown bridges of communication.

I recommend this series if you want an insight in what the clash of two lifestyles is like.
