You must watch a few Turkish series, to begin to appreciate the art-form this country exports. Next to the USA Turkey sends out more films to the world. Their stories are extremely popular world-wide. Their series are very detailed, and in no hurry to finish in just a measley 2 hours. This series ICERDE was over 80 hours in length.
I finished ICERDE in a long binge! The Producers, the Directors and the Writers were 360% incredible with their ability to keep this storyline making sense. The director was able to capture great facial expressions that reflected the emotions, or feelings of the characters in scenes without the character uttering a word. Each actor hired for this series has reason to be very proud of their work, especially Catagay & Ulas, the heroes. Hollywood will NEVER be able to replicate this masterpiece of story-telling. I was on the edge of my seat the entire series, and not one actor had to get naked or have on-screen sex, which is Hollywood's standard. I am so impressed with the country of Turkey and their film-making business. American TV is so boring, I am losing interest in the TV shows I used to watch! My only distraction was the tight pants the actors wore! Yes, they looked good in them, but I wondered how the guys could move around with such agility!! 10 star rating from me.
