Kayip (2013–2014)

9/10

5 March 2024

This isn't the type of Turkish tv series that we mostly see nowadays where it is about gangs, cops and bullets flying here and there.

If you want to ask questions, set on the edge of your seat and watch a very intriguing story about a kidnap case, then this show might unexpectedly turn out to be one of the greatest tv shows you will ever find, and this is exactly what happened to me.

Although that there are many great turkish tv shows, weather their type was action, crime or anything else.

But i consider Kayip is special side by side with shakhsiyat as the greatest turkish tv serieses. Maybe because i like mystery-detectives type who knows ?!

High Seas (2019–2020)

8/10

Who is the killer ? Great First season with a bad second

5 March 2024

At first i didn't expect to like this show but i was totally wrong.

If you are a fan of limited number of characters that are stuck in one place with a potential serial killer among them, then it is the show you are looking for.

The first season was great and it was sufficient as storytelling to stop at thst point. However, they decided to continue with an unnecessary season where the writing efficiency drops and you can tell easily the difference between the quailty of both writings ( for season 1 vs 2 ).

Anyways, Spanish cinema should focus on mystery stories because they are that good when this is the type of the show !

Note : I didn't continue season 2 to even try watching season 3 !

The Twelve (2019–2023)

8/10

Belgium hit again ; A very good series

5 March 2024

If you watched the first two episodes you might feel that the series is too confusing and they are trying to put too much side stories on it. From here it depends on you, if you are like me you can watch only the trial scenes and the flashbacks related to it, or if you can live with all of these side stories you don't have to skip anything. In the two scenarios, the series is going to be a good ride if you like detective-trial type of shows.

This is the fourth Belgium tv series i watch and i am starting to be a fan of the shows that are produced by Belgium cinema. ( De dag , tabula rasa and Hotel beau sejour ) , can't wait to check anothrr one !

A Murder at the End of the World (2023)

5/10

Very disappointing

5 March 2024

I was expecting a fast paced tv series ( at least fast as the first half of the Korean tv series that is called Adamas ). However, all what i got is too many flashbacks eith a very slow paced show that can be presented in only 3 to 4 episodes instead of 7.

Cinamotography and acting are both fabulous and the director did a great job, but the story itself could be presented much better than what we get in this show. In short words, what a wasted oppurtunity this is !

Maybe it is only because of my expectations, check the first two episodes and if you didn't like them that means you will probably not like the rest of it.

This is a very good investigation drama . It is a little bit slow but it pays off at the end .

If you like thriller , detectives , twists and guessing you should see beyond evil !

Sketch (2018)

10/10

I can't believe this has 0 reviews !!!!!!!

23 September 2020

When I first watched the first episode i thought it will be the typical police investigation every episode they will catch the criminal and that's it , but no it wasn't like that at all .

The story in the best thing about the great kdrama ( RESPECT to Korean stories ) , how the characters effect each other was another great way to keep things interesting .

It is just almost perfect story and if you are a lover of Korean thriller suspense with a touch of action and unbelievable science you really need to watch this .

I have never thought i would say there is a graet thriller with an unbelievable science like 365 repeat the year until I watched this .

Sketch !!!!!

Defendant (2017)

10/10

I watched a lot of dramas but nothing like defendant yet !!!!

16 August 2020

Warning: Spoilers

Wow , just wow , in this drama you have everything you would like in thriller to enjoy while you are watching from mystery to prison ,

In this drama you have a great actors with great characters , our hero is perfect and our villain is more perfect , our plot is crazy , could you ever imagine yourself waking up in a prison and you don't remember what was the bad thing you did and you are going to be executed !!!!!!!!

Great 18 episodes , i watched 2 or 3 years ago and i watched a lot of dramas since that and i can tell you nothing is better ( maybe confession in the same level and 365 repeat the year as well )

If you like a plot with suspense , mystery , and a little bit of action then you should not miss DEFENDANT

Signal (2016)

9/10

As expected , almost Perfect

16 August 2020

Warning: Spoilers

What a great thriller Korean drama , it was the drama that would keep you on the edge of your seat .

I liked the story and how there was past and present , the only thing that I didn't like was the cases ( they were great ) but i wanted only one case and everything else was leading to it ( like nobody knows or confession ) but there was almost 6 to 7 different cases and the big case .

In my opinion , it was worth watching , great idea , great drama , thanks to everyone who did something to give us this great drama .
