8/10
Highly regarded action series of 90's Turkish TV
31 January 2012
Director and creator of the show Osman Sınav is a popular and highly anticipated director who introduced new techniques and equipment to Turkish TV channels.

The plot is set around Yusuf Miroğlu character who served in the army in the south-east Turkey and after discharged became a "mafioso" character fighting against crime and serving poor and helpless people. He also finds himself government linked conspiracy. Yusuf has a mentor "Kuşçu" - birdman who resembles Sufi dervishes. He guides the main character and tells traditional tales from the Quran and Islamic culture especially about eternal love. The concept's reference s the tale of Yusuf vü Züleyha (Joseph and Potiphar's wife) which is explaining high virtues of eternal love, love of Allah.

Concept was set by Osman Sınav and most of the plot was written by Ömer Lütfi Mete with references to current issues in Turkey in 90's. We first see the writers of Kurtlar Vadisi which became a gigantic hit series in 2003 and onwards. The show became a massive hit in Turkey and also was showed in Balkan region, Kafkas region etc. Kenan İmirzalıoğlu former model set his foot to acting with the show.
