Review of Fi

Fi (2017–2018)
4/10
watchable..
18 March 2018
Don't be intrigued by all the praise for this series as all reviewers seem to be turkish (obviously) and are keen to push this. completely understandable though because this is one of the few turkish productions in the recent years without censored lines, pixelated shots of cigarettes and more than usual deep characters, based on a book written maybe 20 years too late for the turkish readers.. but it is something and therefore appreciated by the audience, which is alright in a way.

to be able to produce this, heavy sponsorship was necessary and it is unbearable for me to see those smartphones from the same brand being flashed every. single. scene. ..showed off all kinds of products from this same company with camera pans allover the brand name, actors praising the 'breakfast for champions' with a zoom on the package, energy drink cans held in that certain way towards the camera, cars or sportswear no one can really afford in the country. I have almost been expecting the price tag on all interiour items.

it is a shame but maybe the only way for this as turkish media cencorship makes it impossible to, for example, even hear any real streetlanguage on tv.

the story is like some shittier turkish black swan with super deep but actually ridiculous psycholocigal life lessons no one really wants to hear about anymore. i really liked that media mogul guy though. he's cool..

technically well done and published only online, as far as I know..
