The Family (2023–2024) User Reviews

Truly Enjoyed

[justinap-62841 · 8/10 · 30 May 2023]

A little out of my comfort zone but I was truly glued to every episode. Great ending at the end of each episode, suspense with much anticipation, waiting for the next, next, next.... But the characters definitely need to be mentioned: beautifully portrayed. Love the music too especially with that breathing in the background. How unusual!

I have never seen these two main players in any movies yet and probably won't, but this series is a MUST-WATCH for me.

Without a doubt, Turkey is showing brilliant drama productions.

The scenes, the outfits, the characters, and the locations are almost perfect to the eyes. Enjoy!

Amazing!! But it couldn't make it

[alooolwazwaz · 7/10 · 31 January 2024]

Maybe you may think this is a normal Turkish Series and same as usual thing, one bullet and then a lot of drama. BUT.. this is different.

I loved it!!

One of the things that i really loved that each character has it is own psychological issue, one has Narcissism, other has Borderline personality disorder, etc... The writer made a great series.

But.. when the second season came, they started approaching the usual format, a lot of action started appearing, some characters are added to represent the mafia thing and others were died/killed, and it started getting away from the main plot.

First season, was about an injured Psychiatrist trying to help and treat others.

While the second, was about how to kill everyone just to insure that your family is safe.

If i only watched the first season, the series may got a higher rating.

[niyonicky · 10/10 · 5 May 2023]

Waouhh, i love this series so much especially Kivanch and Serenay for putting them together, they did an amazing thing. They are both talented, i love how Devin she plays those characters in terms of emotional, strong woman and also loving Asla, and Asla also is strong mafia, but he is great defending a right thing and loving too. I hope in future they will have peace and enjoy their marriage because what they say love wins thats what we are expecting , and good to the writer thats a great character you created for the perfect Devin and Asla , they are best and great talented for what they do.

Fabulous

[Anniesse · 10/10 · 25 April 2023]

The two main actors are fabulous together. The script is excellent. Character development takes time, and the mysteries, there are many, will be revealed. Humor is good in mafia stories; it works very well here. Great supporting cast. Hayir olsun. And I do not like the Mafia series. We will see the development of all the family members. I like all the actors, which is challenging in a series. I understand for some viewers, it can be slow, yet I really enjoy the dialogue, seriousness, and humor. Watch it! Kivanc Tatlitug always delivers stellar performances; Serenay is very talented; she found her acting match - great stuff from her.

Fresh and Modern

[joannermcnary · 10/10 · 21 March 2023]

The two main characters are totally in sinc. Great chemistry. Love the scenes where they are dancing and laughing. Those looks cross the room. Wow. The Turkish actress is a total stunner as is the male lead. Doesn't hurt to have beautiful people. But their acting talent is top rate, too. Very believable. The family story is quite good with a great supporting cast. This is a Turkish drama and, sometimes though not always, they are too melodramatic and overacted but this is not. I will give partial credit to the director. The editing is quite good also. Love the less is more. Looking forward to the rest of the season. This is a real winner and should be showing on one of the streamers in the U. S.

Same technique, same thing.

[olcare · 2/10 · 7 March 2023]

So, just like in all Turkish TV series, a beautiful actress is selected who can stay popular and relevant, and a handsome actor who is currently trending is also chosen. These two characters struggle to have a love life amidst a series of problems, and during all this, nothing happens in terms of acting or TV development. This is the summary of Turkish TV in recent years.

As for our series, it has an excessively long screen time that will bore you to death. They just can't seem to understand that this screen time numbs people and prevents them from enjoying it. The biggest drawback is the screen time. The basic reason for many other flaws is similar to the first paragraph - due to these series, the acting skills of popular actors and actresses in the country are declining. This is my opinion. While trying to create depth, the scenes of staring constantly repeat the same scenario, and there is nothing new in terms of technique, acting, or directing. There's nothing extra, and no creativity.

It seems that the lack of success in the first episode of the series is due to the absence of curiosity, meaning that the supposedly mysterious character feels inexplicably un-mysterious, which is another nonsensical aspect.

In this day and age, when everyone's time is so valuable, watch something sweeter and less brain-numbing or engage in activities that are more productive. If this is going to continue, my biggest hope is that it won't be like other series that promote male hegemony and belittle women.

Update: Last time I stumbled upon the worst music I've ever heard in my life, like "ah oh ah oh" music, it's like a joke really. But their other music was good.

Oh my word!

[tempresident · 10/10 · 19 March 2023]

Season 2: Oh my word, what have the writers done to Devin? She is completely mental. She wants to divorce because she loves too much...huh? Then she blames Aslan for her life being in chaos but she creates all the chaos. Aslan really needs to see a psychologist because he clings to a woman who has tried everything to get away from him instead of just being honest. She is beyond immature. How can a psychologist not realise that a healthy relationship is built on honesty? Like she is the first & only woman not being able to have children. She rejoices in hurting Aslan...he doesn't realise it yet, but he is married to his mother. The beginning of this season is utter frustration. Just get Aslan a woman that will appreciate him and actually fight for their relationship, if it's not going to be Devin. It will bring much excitement if there is some competition for Devin. And she has to fight for Aslan for a change. It's still a 10/10 series. They all are just brilliant!

Season 1 They couldn't have chosen two better main characters! Kivanc Tatlitug, Serenay Sarikaya are both actors with so much depth and intensity. They both just have the IT-factor and have so much onscreen chemistry. They both, but especially Kivanc, can make a bad script with a bad director (not saying this is, on the contrary) look amazing as he is just in a class of his own.

I'm so excited to see how these two people, both broken and hurt from dysfunctional families overcome their own insecurities and fears and let love win.

I have a suspicion, Aslan's brother is going to hone in on Devin, as is Aslan's mother. Devin's cruel dad is astonishingly wicked for speaking so many curses over his own daughters...I wish I could have a sit down with him!

This series is going to be good!

Boring last episode

[brmpx · 1/10 · 30 January 2024]

I recently stared to see it, did not like it and wanted to give one more try and see the last episode. But the last episoade is soooooo boring, nothing happened. They could do it all in 5 minutes, no need to have it like this. Kivanc Tatlitug is a very good actor and the only thing good in this movie. Only watched it because of Kivo. And there is no chemistry and match between the main characters/ actors ( Aslan and Devin/ Kivo and Serenay) they don't fit each other. Hope in the future they will not play together or at least not as a couple. Just wasted my time with some few episodes and the last one...

Incredible!!

[yftzb · 10/10 · 27 April 2023]

It's just a really beautiful story. First of all, the couple is simply flawless. Serenai and kyvanch are perfect for each other. I would like not only 1 season, but more and a lot. The most beautiful couple in the turkish tv series. But the only thing missing is more passionate scenes of aslan and devin. It was good that there were more passionate kisses and intimate scenes in the series. Hope There would be more series with this pair of actors. I hope that there will be not be only one season but more and more .great actors beautiful backgrounds clothing abd storylinr is the best for me. Just super no words.

Excellent

[sillyolebear · 10/10 · 7 March 2023]

I am so excited to see a real love story finally on a Turkish series like Kara Para. Black Money Love. Let us hope and pray that the two heroines come across as real people and have wonderful chemistry that makes or breaks a series!! I hope it does well in the ratings and outdoes all that is new out there. The two look real. Kivanc is a hunk and he has the most sincere loving eyes and mannerisms. I hope success as his other shows. Turkish series tend to be the same theme. Mean domineering man over woman. Man changes. Very mean hateful mother or mother in law. No comic relief!! I am cheering on this series.

Great

[kumarzzgp · 10/10 · 19 March 2023]

Great cast with more to offer. Kivanc is just living than acting, one of the best to ever do it and great to see Serenay back on screen after sometime, Both leads have good chemistry going on and incredible support from other seasoned actors like Nur surer,nejat isler,levent ulgan etc... It's too early to rate this series fully, but i think with a cast like this, no one is gonna be disappointed, I hope the plot get more intense in the coming episodes and we can see more of the characters in their natural game , and they can offer more to the same. Its a must watch for drama loving, melancholic audience.

Gripping story and incredible performances

[rubinahussain · 10/10 · 30 May 2023]

The story is very gripping, it hooks you from the first episode itself. The main story and each episode moves fast and ends on a cliff hanger making you want to see the next episode asap. The main characters and the side characters have harmony and have exceeded expectation.

Actors are all seasoned performers, making it a delight to watch them. The style, dialogue delivery , confidence level, action is full 10/10 .

Devin, aka Serenay and Aslan aka Kivanic make wonderful pair. The theme revolves around family and what people are capable of doing to protect them.

Please watch and you would not regret.

excellent

[kkt-92500 · 10/10 · 1 June 2023]

Serie 2 please.

This is an exciting and well made series with great actors. The story cannot be stopped now. We need to get the whole story and hopefully a happy ending. Kivanc is the best of all actors and hopefully he will be acting for many, many years. All the actors in Aile deliver their roles brilliantly, it couldn't be done better.

Now I'm eagerly waiting for the sequel.

There is so much that needs to be answered....is Devin having the baby? Are Eko and Yagmur getting married?

Aslan and Devin manage to free themselves from Hulya and live a healthy family life free from all crime.

Let's hope for the best.

Wow !

[tikakoiava · 10/10 · 24 May 2023]

I don't know why, but i think that this mainc actors (kivanc, serenaya) make this show better. I mean, their is a lot of common between them, both of them are playing great and also they look good together. I haven't seen (in turkish shows) more harmonic show couple than they are.

Hope the show won't loose its popularity and charm. Also want to add, that in my opinion, show rating isn't fair and correct, it should be higher.

Only one thing I don't like, is that, there is a lot off panic and hysterics. I mean, when you are watching a tv show, you expect more lovely and pleasant scenes. Because stress and hysterics are enough in real life, when you watch something, you just want to chill and cut off reality.

Goooood luck !

What an amazing series!!!

[mbz70 · 10/10 · 20 October 2023]

For me, this is a flawless series. All the actors perform excellently, and the chemistry among all of them is palpable.

The story is gripping and doesn't let you down for a moment. I totally love the way the characters are portrayed with human flaws and soul. It is not just a romantic drama. True to its title, it depicts the complex relationships in a family, where most hurtful things are done in the name of love. I want to make a special reference to Kivanc, because I believe it is deserved. He doesn't act, he has become the character. You can almost feel what he is feeling, I even cried in an episode where he IS Aslan. I hope we see more seasons.

An Excellent Drama with many teachings

[tharmadevi · 10/10 · 24 March 2024]

A must watch Drama. Season 2 gets so much better. I can't even remember where Season 2 starts. But the final episode will hold you back at your seat till the end. It will go back and forth between 2024 and 2029 (5 years later) and what actually happened.

Everyone in the movie acted so well. There was a lot of crying for me because the script was so touching and the direction of the drama, the acting of Aslan, Devin and Hulya, everyone was remarkable. One of the best Family drama I have watched. A lot of meaning to relationships, trust, family, love, betrayal, forgiveness, second chance.

A drama not to be missed. Must watch. Congratulations to Producer, Directors, Screen Writer, Actors and Actress. Congratulations as well to winning the awards and nominations. You deserved it well.!

An interesting, with a beautiful love story, a bespectacled cast, a TV series

[volhapi · 9/10 · 26 November 2023]

The series captures attention, you are looking forward to the series. A beautiful story of love and struggle for love, crippled by the ugly families of the main characters, the monstrous betrayals of the closest ones. The transformation of the characters, worldviews of the main characters, which are very interesting to watch. There are many intrigues and events that clash and change the seemingly unchangeable values of lovers, and these changes are shown to be merciless in their truth. The main characters are smart, beautiful, charismatic and endlessly in love, and this is riveting to the screens. Many interesting human stories are shown in a bright, intriguing development. You can't take your eyes off many of them. The series look in one go. Bravo to the creators of this beautiful story!

Outstanding

[desdemonaabagiu · 10/10 · 19 April 2024]

This series can compete with all other great international series. The main characters are so perfectly matched and their chemistry is captivating. The story line has it all: love, action, psychology, humour, unlike the other typical Turkish series. I loved watching it. Actually, it is for binge watching and not only once but repeated watching. It is seldom to see such productions coming ou of 🇹🇷. Great job.

I strongly recommend you watching this series. I am in North America and not Turkish in origin. This series touched me and I recommend it to all my friends. Hope the filming industry in 🇹🇷 to shift towards a more international audience and yet display cultural aspects that we all enjoy knowing.

Episode 27

[twoboyz-45121 · 10/10 · 11 January 2024]

To start all episodes are amazing with only 3 episodes left I'm saddened it's ending so quickly wish there would be more but I guess we have to be content with 30 episodes and hopefully it will not be a sad ending. So talk about this episode 27 what amazing acting by Kivanc (Aslan) I cried so much with him he really did such great performance. All the actors are great but this episode just had me in constant tears also loved seeing While the two brothers take action That was great to see them fighting together after all that happened between them they were fighting together didn't like that let ilyas's man go cause he said he's going to finish off Aslan so, really hope the writers don't kill off Aslan on the finale episode.
