'Shadow' is a hitman who was raised by, and now works for, Servet. One day he learns of his mentor's betrayal and goes on the run. With perfect timing a tailor, who owned a small shop, has died and his friends think Shadow is his long lost son. He moves into the shop and soon finds himself involved in the community's issues. Most serious of these being the pressure being put on them by a local crook hoping to develop the area.

I really enjoyed this series; for the most part it was a serious drama but there were a surprising number of comic moments. These comic moments are genuinely funny, often making me laugh out loud, and don't distract from more serious elements. There is some violence but it is neither excessively gory nor gratuitous. The cast does a fine job; most obviously Engin Öztürk, who plays 'Shadow'. The characters are nicely varied and fun to watch. The finale sets things up for another season; if it's made I'll certainly watch. Overall a really fun show which I'd certainly recommend.
