The show had really good potential that it didn't live up to. The acting was superb, the story telling was great, the music was beautiful. I felt like I was in the show, going through what the characters were going through. At least, this is true for the first season and some of the second season, where Bahar and Sarp's love is portrayed in a beautiful and touching way. This show often brought me to tears. But eventually, it did go south... One of the main problems I had was how abusive women are allowed to be with men, and it is still portrayed as acceptable behaviour. Shirin is already too abusive to be portrayed as good, she is the antagonist. But Ceyda's abusiveness is still okay, she never gets called out on it, not even by her best friend, Bahar. She is not much better, either... When her husband comes back from the dead and she is just cold and abusive with him, while he is ready to sacrifice his life for her and the children. Another problem is with lying, which the show seems to promote within certain limits. Again, the bar is Shirin, as being a pathological liar and a psychopathic murderer combined is past the limit of acceptability. But simply lying without being a complete psycho might still be an okay habit to stick to, even if the truth usually gets revealed in the end... And in the third season, everyone gets so stupid that they just make terrible decisions, maybe except for the double wedding at the very end.
