I don't know how this show got more than 8/10. Story is great and intriguing, but narration is mediocre. And there's much too much blabbing. Everyone's blabbing. It's worse than soap opera. Even some dying one's are constantly blabbing. Acting is uneven. Yigit Özsener is quite good, Nur Fettahoglu too, but on the other side is Ekin Koç. And Altan Erkekli - pure acting tragedy, especially in his last scene. Another thing. I hope real Turkish Polis officers are not so unprofessional and clumsy as those in Bozkir. They even don't know how to use fingerprints - if they do, this show would be not ten, but six or seven episodes long. And how Nuri got his promotion to Lieutenent is the greatest mystery in the world. He's the worst policeman I've ever seen in movie or tv series. To sum up, if not some brilliant scenes, that saved this show (the last one with Bülent Düzgünoglu is pure fun), exotic sceneries, people and their habits, I would have given it even less stars. So, if You're not Turkish or fan of soap operas, or if You're policeman, or You're used to better quality of crime dramas, watching this show could be a challenge.
