Review of Ezel

Ezel (2009–2011)
10/10
The most complete show ever
10 April 2023
The director of this show has sampled the finest pieces of story telling, cinema, philosophy, poetry & novels and created a very original work.

At a first glance it looks like Conte Monte Cristo, it has taken a huge inspiration but it goes beyond that. Camera angles like John Ford, a nod to Shakespear in many parts of the story, dialogues that include words from Dastoyevski & Oscar Wilde. There are scenes that remind you of some of the finest classics in cinema history.

The series is so rich that you can write a book to get into every single detail. To summarize, it is like a book and every episode is like a chapter.

The style of storytelling is slow but its not the usual commercial slow where everything is dragged. The director has left clues of the final episode all over the show, its slow but it feels like an epic story that makes you feel the time.

Requires multiple watching to truly understand the details but for me the most amazing thing about this show is that it has discussed many complex subjects in a very simplified and smooth way.

The music is amazing and so are the actors & directors.

One of the finest and most complete pieces of story telling ever.
