    • Goofs
      On the tombstone on the Cakir family, Süleyman Cakir's year of birth is written as 1964, his sister Derya's as 1974, and his mother's as 1951. According to this, his mother gave birth to him at the age of 13. Also, in a flashback scene of the Cakir siblings selling steamed rice and chickpeas on the street, Süleyman and Derya Cakir are both little kids. Having an age difference of 10 years, one must be at least a teenager when the other is a little kid.

    Unforgettable!
    This series is one of the best cult series in Turkish television history. It has a potential to be watched by wider audience around the world with a good English version of it.

    The story begins with a classical mafia story. An agent (Polat Alemdar), who is trained by deep state of Turkey, is sneaking into the mafia by saving the life of the one of the mafia leaders (Suleyman Cakir). Although Suleyman Cakir seems a strong mafia leader in the beginning we later understand that he is like a pawn in this mafia world. The strongest person in this world is Karahanli or Baron. He is known as a business man by other people but actually he built up this world. He has a council in which he can decide most of the important issues in Turkey and Middle East economical and political situations. Additionally, each council member is a strong mafia leader. Until the episode 74, we see the crucial face of this mafia world, how government treat mafia, the rise of Polat Alemdar in this world and a very strong love story between a lawyer Elif and a mafia leader Polat Alemdar who needs to be decide whether he is a mafia or an agent or a normal person who loves his country. After this point, we see the people or another council which is more international and decides the political issues, wars, rebels around the world. Until this point, we understand that mafia is also a pawn in this whole chess game. And, we turn our faces into a new war between Polat Alemdar and this strong council. Between Episode 74 and 98 (Final), we see the structure of this council, how they can easily create a war in middle east and benefit them. At this point, we see that Polat Alemdar is in the government side and he is not a mafia anymore more like a hero for the government and maybe for the Middle East who is in a very bad situation due to the imperialist plans. A surprise in the final episode is Andy Garcia and Sharon Stone are casting as the leaders of this council.

    Valley of the Wolves is definitely a classical series. It deserves to be watched by the people all around the world. Maybe, it is not so professional we can not see a high budget here and the episodes are too long but once you watch it from the beginning until the end of it you will understand that you've never watched a series this much gripping, effective and unforgettable...
