Good show introducing important themes
angegambini24 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Congratulations to Netflix for producing a well paced show which manages to reach a wider target with classic structures while unveiling the complexity and deep roots behind the most underrated relationships in our lives, offering a new point of view and insights. Family Constellations and holistic/ancient medicine are still so underrated, and often misused. Integrating such elements into a show that is so light to watch and well balanced was a really good job, I'd almost say brave for the time being.

Unexpected
biancachirila-4837616 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I have neved watched a movie made in Turkey. I saw a review and said to give it a chance. I don't regret it.

It was a great experience! I studied psychology and I was very interested in trauma and systemic psychology and the tv shows has a lot of this in it.

There are a few things that don't add up but if you pay more attention to the characters it will be better.

I did not like how it ended and it seemed too twisted for me. I feel they could have splitted the last episode into two but it's common nowadays to wrap it up in the last minute.

I loved the beauty of the scenes and actors, the little jokes of the ladies and the athmosphere in general. It happened a lot of times to feel envy for the girls because they are so strong together and share every aspect of their lives, which can be far from reality, buuuut a lot of aspects are a little SF in this show.

You can go deep into your past, but not like that and usually not without trust in the leader. If I think better, it would have been a 10* series if it would have been 2 seasons.

Oh, and the wedding, dude, that was cringe af.

The therapy is real
carljohnson-7642021 September 2022
So...I was watching this Turkish production and i was quite surprised by the content. The show includes a little bit of "Bert Hellinger's," Constellation Therapy. I have actually witnessed this work in real life.

A group of people...often strangers gather just like the did in the show. The strangest things happen, clearing and memories. There is a person that works as a moderator, and stories are unpacked. The results are quite startling.

The show is quite true to the technique.

When i first started to wstch the series, i thought the script was kind of soft but considering this is a translation, i really can"t be to hard.

I think the series is worth the watch.

mediocre performance
aelmansjos2 August 2022
Another production of yapim with the mini series and actress Tuba and not forgetting the rest of the cast.

If you study the various characters then I get the impression that this is a dejavu with the sisters in the series Kara Para Ask.

Leyla in particular has common ground in her performance with the character of Asli. After all the fuss about this new mini series of 8 episodes on Netflix Netherlands, I find it a mediocre performance that cannot match the level of KPA and Seferin kizi. There is no real tension and the plot is predictable. But this is my opinion.

Hopefully Netflix Netherlands will take over the demand for more of successful Turkish series in its offer.

A subject so worth examining
catoegandb28 July 2022
Incredible story to helps us examine more possibilities in the treatment of deadly health issues and the healing of ourselves beyond the medical component. Thank you for this series to help enlighten and encourage those dealing with seemingly impossible circumstances in health issues. Bravo to the talented and beautiful actors who presented it, especially Tuba and Murat for their dramatic roles. Definitely a ten for this health crisis survivor!

Cute
Maja_200412 September 2022
One of my family member recommended me to watch the series, if I wanted to know what Family Constellations therapeutic method is.

She said the show portraits it pretty accurately... I don't know if it's true or not, but I did like the series!

I liked the season, and hope to see more of it!!

Interesting stories and the acting wasn't bad either. It was my first ever turkish show, so I didn't know what to expect...

Main characters are all cute and likeable.

BUT!!! The english dubbing is just awful!!! All the voice "actors" were dull and very unprofessional!!!

I thought Netflix = quality but I was wrong... Please put more effort into dubbing!!!

Chic flick for the 30 something crowd
True_Reviews7 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is definitely a chic flick. Pretty women, all have problems. The men too, all have problems. Its watchable but OMG it can be painful at times. Not exactly a happy ending either. If you want to see people with problems, this is your show, but do not expect a Happily Ever After ending. It falls flat on its face.

Absurd and Corny
canspage30 July 2022
So absurd, corny and manipulative like a propaganda. You may watch it if you are a desperate post-modern spritual. Trauma healing is not so simple via only family constellation. Such cheesy reasoning like you are allergic because of your grand grand dad was killed in a strawberry field by his feudal landlord.

It was a beautiful series, especially the beautiful performance of Murat Boz and Tuba. Among the Turkish series, Hack had a creative story, this series is because of Netflix. I hope we will see more of these beautiful series and the presence of Murat Boz in Turkish cinema will increase.

Three friends travel to the seaside town of Ayvalik to mend past wounds with the help of a spiritual healer.
cgvsluis15 March 2023
The three main stars bring some impressive acting chops to this series, but for me the storyline that was the big draw was the one between...Ada, Toprak and Selim. Although the slow burn between Sevgi and Fikret is the storyline I was really rooting for.

At the heart of this story is a very close friendship between three friends...successful surgeon Ada, lawyer Sevgi and social media influencer/mom Leyla. The story begins with Sevgi's cancer treatment no longer working. She ropes her friends into exploring a more spiritual form of healing in Ayvalik with a healer who delves into your family's past wounds. Eventually he spiritually touches all three women and exposes wounds from their pasts which is affecting their lives in the present.

The gorgeous setting in Ayvalik, Turkey is just one of the many reasons to watch this series that (thus-far) has only eight episodes. Which leads me to share that I wasn't thrilled with where the series ends. It is set up to go on to a second season...which I hope it does, but if this is the end I am sad because it ends on a pretty sad note for all three women.

I want to watch it again!?
fancybeachgirl23 August 2022
I never Watch a movie twice. But this was so filled with great friendships and loyalty, beautiful sceneries, a touch of Turkish culture and psychological theories ( Freud theories on trauma and repression).

Short series.. Each episode touched a little deeper into each character. Because no matter how much we love our friends we all have little secrets, both known and unknown.. our past creates who we are today, like a ripple effect through generations. Some stories were probably far reaching but made a good story that relates to Freudian theory. Let's be honest most of our lives wouldn't be interesting enough to become a movie.

Emotions can effect out health and out hi-Story. Our decisions do make long term impact. Even True love can get messy because no one is a Disney movie.

The Netflix algorithm and its jokes.
islamu-8075228 July 2022
I still don't know why the Netflix algorithm included this series in my recommendations.

I gave up watching it in the second episode.

There is nothing original about the plot (there are many series on the same subject that are much better made) and the performances are flat, mediocre and bland.

I'm sorry but it's not for me.

I give it a 2.

Big Fail
betul_ayberkin1 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The summary of the show is : Use quotes from 'it didn't start with you' book and try adding some sex and the city vibes.

I wonder if they paid copyrights to the author of the book, my guess is no, so it's theft.

The actresses are just trying to look pretty and do nothing else. Only natural actors are the ordinary people in workshops.

PrettySJ-689029 July 2022
I like the story a lot, The writer gave us something new and I love it a lot. The cast are so wonderful, the chemistry between the girls is spectacular also the chemistry between Tuba and Murat is marvelous.

lolla-2177330 July 2022
Came here to see reviews just a couple of days after this series was added to Netflix. I love Tuba and her acting. I have watched all series she is in on Netflix. I had high hopes for this one. I am struggling to finish it.

All these raving reviews, all 10/10? I find it hard to believe.

Don't waste your time watching this show.
