If you like the old-fashioned family/honor Dizi, then this is a great one. I honestly don't know why the ratings aren't higher. The back and forth between the two enemy families is entertaining and the plot is good (so many Dizis have huge plot holes that don't make sense). Tufan and Menevse's relationship is natural, but fire! They are like Romeo and Juliet. I also like that the plot doesn't revolve around making a love match for every main character. The main character, Yesil, is focused on her children and not finding a man. She also has a great character arc from suffering woman to strong (so far). I highly recommend this series!

Inconsistent Characters
22 February 2024
I can overlook most things about this series, but the one thing that frustrates me the most is the inconsistent writing for the characters. Every character goes back and forth between bad and good to the point that you just about don't care about any of them. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is ever resolved so that is just poor plot writing. This show could be the greatest. It has everything it needs: beautiful cinematography, beautiful actors with great skill, obviously a huge budget, etc. However, the writing is the weakest link. It is just not satisfying and I find myself losing interest every episode.
Baba
(2022)
Unique story of a traditional family
2 May 2022
I give this 5 stars because I have watched a lot of Dizis but haven't seen anything quite like Baba. The acting is phenomenal! The episodes are suspenseful and keep your attention from start to finish. The plots are not predictable. Characters change over time and are flawed; the good guys become bad guys and vice-versa. I love the way it portrays a traditional and religious Turkish family.
