In addition to the comments regarding Turkey in the review "When will they have two teams?" by jensomehner, I have a few things to say about somethings represented regarding Turkey. On the scene where they searched the back of the vehicle at the check-point by soldiers with Turkey's Flag-patches on their arms; Soldier searching the hay heap with what looks like a Kukri/Gurkha blade, is utterly ridiculous. In modern times, Kukri is used by Nepalese Army. Also, since scene is depicted to be taking place somewhere near Istanbul ("very outside" of Istanbul), and outside of Police jurisdiction, so those soldiers are Gendarme forces and they would be checking for drugs or guns and would have dogs with them etc.
Anyway, another thing is Samantha Cage speaking Turkish. Though I'm a native Turkish speaker, I had to watch several times just to get what she is saying without looking at the subtitles. It is not just an accent problem, It is just not understandable. After citing other comments from the previously mentioned review, I just wish they would focus more on authenticity. Father-mystery angle is a nice potential but It looks like they just gave up on Murdock on the spot and they would feed some cliché chase stories during most of this season until they caught up with the super-villain wannabe towards season finale.
