Cesur Ve Güzel (2016)
Tuba and Kivanc are breathtaking onscreen
This is a captivating series to watch the acting, direction, and scenery draw you in from the beginning. The series is shot like a movie and the design of the sets and clothing are stunning. The quality of the filming alone makes the series worth watching more than once. Tuba and Kivanc are simply breathtaking as an onscreen couple. "Brave and Beautiful" is strong from start to finish with a "man on a mission" story line. Tuba plays Suhan the daughter of town founder Tashin. Erkan Avci plays Suhan's brother Korhan. Korhan is loveable and has a substantive storyline with his wife Cahide (played by Sezin Akbasogullari). Tamer Levent does a fantastic job playing Suhan's father Tahsin Korludag. Suhan falls in love with Cesur a smart, charming, and sometimes arrogant man who arrives in the town to exact revenge for his father's death. Each episode is better than the next. Every actor delivers and the production quality is top notch. A great series to watch if you like plot twists anchored by a great love story. You never stop rooting for Cesur and Suhan!
Kuzey Güney (2011)
Believe the Hype
Kivanc is a no holds barred out of this world actor. Kuzey and Cesur are my favorite Kivanc characters. Rewatched Kuzey in 2021 and the character still blows my mind. Fabulous. Kivanc is able to transmit so much with the smallest gesture. Wonderful series with some great directing. Believe the hype - Kivanc is brilliant as Kuzey.
Sefirin Kizi (2019)
Script and Circumstances were not Ideal
Engin is a marvelous actor. The script and circumstances were not what he deserved. This was a script written with Engin in mind - he is the headliner. In a nutshell the series title is misleading. The last 15 episodes were markedly better, but the mid-way point of this story really leaves much to be desired. Beren is a wonderful little actress and shined brightly as Melek. The actors that play Halise, Güven, and Kavruk were solid throughout. Additions to the cast for the last 15 episodes were stellar. Those additions added immeasurably to the quality of the show. For those of you watching this series stay the course - the last 15 episodes give you Sancar's metamorphosis. Hold your nose from 16 through 36 and it will be alright...the agony ends and the series improves.
Ask ve Ceza (2010)
Tomris Incer who plays Savas' mother is a shining star in this show
The production of this show made it difficult to watch. The entire series looks as if filmed with a handheld camera. The initial storyline is also a little troublesome, as it does not lay a solid foundation for the type of love story relationship you would expect in a drama. Setting these problems aside, the actors in this series make up for the poor filming and editing as well as the initial bond missing between the main characters (Savas and Yasemin). The leads (Murat and Nurgul) are well matched and Murat Yildirim does a stellar job as the tenderhearted Savas Baldar. Tomris Incer who plays Savas' mother is a shining star in this show. Murat Yildirim and Tomris Incer's acting anchors the series and make it worth watching until the end.
Ramo (2020)
Female characters in this show make it worth watching
Murat Yildirim is a gifted actor - he is the reason I started watching the show. However, the women in this show are the reason I continued watching Ramo. Cemre Baysel plays Ramo's sister Fatos and she is spectacular as a loyal, smart, and sassy family member who has a plan of her own. Easily Idil Firat the actress that plays Fidan (Ramo's Aunt) is the best reason to watch the show. Fidan is respected, intelligent, and determined; she plays the role of advisor to Ramo often. There is a bit of a disconnect between the first three episodes and the remainder of the first season. It is shift in the central theme of the show so it threw me off, but the ensemble in this show really makes Ramo worth watching. Ilker Aksum is also wonderful as Ramo's brother a well rounded character - first and foremost he is a family man and always supportive of his brother Ramo.

Asi (2007)
Tuba and Murat are sublime in these roles
Drama centered around two families who are at odds because of past wrongdoings. A lovestory from long ago goes awry which leads to a couple separating and a mother's suicide. In the present day, two couples from the two families spearhead the main story lines. Sisters Defne and Asi and childhood friends (more like brothers) Kerim and Demir are at the heart of the drama. Demir and Asi are The Power Couple in the drama. Asi is a hard working and strong willed veterinarian with a love for her family (particularly her father) and the family farmlands. Demir is an engineer who builds a family empire, is protective of his family and arrives in his hometown seeking revenge. Asi and Demir fall deeply in love and through many feats show love endures all things. "Asi" is by far one of the best ensemble casts in a Turkish series and one of the strongest/beloved couple pairings in a series. Beautifully written, well-balanced supporting characters with strong stories of their own, and a very sweet love story. In sum, Tuba and Murat are sublime in these roles and this is a series worth watch many times over.
