Inconsistent characters
poopyandfamily29 July 2021
The characters keep changing personalities just so that the writer can stretch the drama. Yildiz is apparently the protagonist of the show but she behaves like a total villain in the first two episodes by betraying Ender. Ender is initially depicted as a strong woman who is trying to survive on her own but in order to make us sympathise with Yildiz she is turned into a revenge obsessed psycho. The same goes for Halit who at times comes off as a caring and forgiving husband to Yildiz then suddenly he becomes a bad husband. It's like the script writer doesn't know who's the villain and who the protagonist of this story is .

A Tale of Excessive Milking
mohammadkashan7 July 2022
The biggest problem with the series is that they have stretched it way beyond where it needed to end. The first couple of seasons might have been good but after the show got views because of it the producers just decided to milk it as much as possible.

The series is utter garbage now and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. They will milk it as much as they can and they will tank the show's quality because of it. But the middle-aged Moms don't seem to be minding it at all and continue to have their world view shaped as unrealistically complex and hostile because of it.

I hope that the series ends with everyone getting what they deserve. Good or bad. Doesn't matter if the ending is good as long as this happens so they might reverse some of the damage caused by this steaming hot pile of garbage.

Amazing Chemistry of Alihan and Zenyep season 2
shellykhera-4956118 April 2021
The best part of the story is chemistry between Alihan and Zenyep. They make you cry, intense emotions are expressed with eyes is really amazing.

Must watch acting of yeldiz, Ender, Alihan and Zenyep.

Are these reviews some type of joke?
fdfhjjfssd7 October 2021
Literally after watching these reviews I forced myself to write this, like I would say these guys are jobless...Do you really think this series deserves 5 seasons? Just because studio have lots of cash to put into the tv world.

Spend your mind into the television shows rather than investing lots of cash into this useless stuff, or invest your money into Hollywood.

Drama-Comedy
pi51115 March 2021
Who said romance? First 5 or 6 episodes had some romance. But now its dram comedy. It always has a mood of comedy behind. it's almost absurd. I expect more absurd things to happen ahead.

what are you trying to teach people?
majina-5023922 May 2022
Same thing happening over and over with different people. I was wondering what people can learn from this series, cheating I guess. At least finish the series in a good way. Teach people money is not every thing and cheating ruins every bodies life.

a fun series
betulkaraca-7976215 July 2022
It doesn't have any feature in the literary sense, but it's a series I watch just to see the people and what intrigue they will create. It's harmful to society, but it still has its funny side. Even the average score is too high.

Çürük Elma! (Rotten Apple)
redbear_896820 December 2021
Season 1 and 2 were acceptable, but after that the producers decided to continue the story as much as possible! The solution was adding too many unnecessary characters and conspiracies!

Yildiz is the best
krumins-2524621 March 2023
I watched the first 2 seasons because of Onur Tuna and his blue eyes. I thought I leave the series because Onur Tuna was not part of the third season but stayed because of the story. I think 3rd season was the best, interesting storyline and funny conversations, specially Yildiz. Without her this show cannot survive, she is so good and beautiful. I was really upset when half of the cast (Gohkan Alkan included) were kicked out from the show in the 4rth season. After that the series was getting really boring, I dont know why was not cancelled but fifth season brougth the hope back. I am just starting season 6, so, hopefully it is good as well.

Gave me a headache
amarsiam28 December 2021
It's just like if a 5 year old got money to write a series . Plot holes bigger than the black hole . And the worst thing is that series take itself to series and thinks that it's smart . Just a very bad series .

A TV show as an intrigue master
aslanerh-391204 September 2020
Although I didn't like the series at the first time I watched, we somehow started watching a couple of the episodes and it caught our interest. Now, finished it by watching it every night for last couple of months and waiting for the new season. If you are not Turkish, probably some of the content ls lost especially some jokes and sarcasm, but, most people will agree that Eda Ece has an adorable acting especially in the 3rd season.

Unfortunately, in the movie sector, Turkey has money launderer companies and groups which cause most TV series to take at least more than 1.5 hours so that they can gain so much advertisement income. This situation is causing a dramatical fall with the quality of TV series although Turkey has a very successful and talented people in the business from actors to TV producers.

In any case, I am happy with the performance of this TV series and hope they can continue as much as possible by adding more characters or altering situations. What it should not lost is the main intrigue content in people's targets and relationships.

Unrealistic and irrelevant series of events.
bolatbolat21 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers Where to start... Yasak Elma started as a classical Turkish drama with a rich family of boring and unhappy members and a poor sisters that coincidentally meet this rich family. Everything was very similar to equivilant Turkish TV dramas. Yildiz was an uneducated lady who later married to Halit. Meanwhile Zeynep (younger sister of Yildiz) started a relationship with Alihan (Halit's ex brother in law) there was an intriguing story but it was simple and somehow realistic. After first half of season two relationships became a literal chaos. More characters appeared Sahika especially did serious crimes and unrealistically got no punishment. These series normally planned to be ended after season three but guess what? Due to high ratings (thanks to Sahika's interesting intrigues) series become more popular. After season three more story gaps and irrelevant events added. Especially after season 4 some characters were ended and new story began. Season 4-5-6 are totally irrelevant with first 3 seasons in terms of both characters and story. Some old characters are totally forgotten as if they weren't part of the show. Despite new chaotic stories the "story' is the same. Yildiz and her husbands' betrayals. Also her unstable relationship with Ender (her friend and Halit's ex wife) Such boring course of events. The only thing that makes series good could be its soundtrack albums. That're really worth to listen.

Who is the script writer
ericasleticia17 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Currently watching season 3 and the script writing does not coincide with the previous season. Has the new script writer just recycled season one. The woman who killed and poisoned everyone is always trusted. The woman that helped him when he was poor took in his family because she's in love with another man. When he mistreated her while she was pregnant, cheated on him. Someone tell the script writer to do better

scheeming women and that's it
swaycover21 January 2023
This drama is all about scheeming women.

Women that are plotting against each other and everyone around them. This would be nice, if it wasn´t the prominent storyline of this series. But as soon as season 2, this goes way overboard and it starts to go on your nerves. There is practically no other plot than one intriegue after the other, one scheem after the other always aimed at getting an old man, that starts to loose hair, that is wrinkled all over, that lusts after young women - not even half his age. He is a really nice guy, that tells his women how to behave, what to wear and what to eat - because the may not gain weight and they may not look old so they have to go to a plastic surgeon regularly. So you see, he does not look good, he does not act nice, he has a bad personality and he cheats on all of his women. The only thing about him is his wealth - and come on, there are sooo many wealthy good looking man out there, that this part of the storyline is really unbelievable!

Season one and two are bearable because of Alihan and Zeynep - but they too, start to annoy you as soon as season two.

After Halils death the plot and storyline are practically dead too.

The series merges into a completely new series, that has nothing to do with the first seasons.

If you are watching for the romance between Halil and Yildiz, don´t, because there is none. She wants his money, he wants her body. The end.

If you are watching for the romance between Alihan and Zeynep, go ahead, but stop after season two, because they will not be in season 3.

Overall this would have been so much better, if they would have toned down the scheeming. But to see 4-5 women constantly fighting, shouting and plotting is not my idea of a good storyline.
