I am glad to see something new coming from the world of Turkish cinematography. The show is far from perfect, there are holes in the storyline, and the dialogue seemed sometimes really shallow and unrealistic that it made me chuckle on few ocassions. When it comes to acting, the character of Hakan was quite belivable, and the rest of the cast was quite solid.
You can see that the team really wanted to show the beauty of modern day Istanbul with glorius Ottoman history. And this is what makes the show special to western audiance, as this is the world we don't know that much about.
All in all, there is definitely room for improvement, however I aplaud the attempt to push outside of the box when it comes to Turkish production.
