This is a series you have to watch with ZERO expectations of any kind, and an OPEN mind.
If you do then you will find this series absolutely magical.
Do not expect this to be a thriller or cop film - it is not, yet at the same time it eventually is of some sort.
I didn't expect a feminist film from Turkey. I didn't expect a scenic masterpiece, taking in Turkey and the Greek Islands. And after the first 2 episodes I certainly did not expect it to become a chase thriller, and, yet, it became just that and more.
If this series was a film, it would be in the running to win Cannes and the Best Foreign film at the Oscars. It is that good !
The two women stars have a fantastic chemistry and rarely have I seen a film or series where you feel strongly that the actors loved acting in that series. The mother, Melisa Sözen, takes acting to a supreme level transferring every emotion through the screen straight at you. She is superb and I will look out for her films in future.
Congratulations to the two directors, Umut Aral, and Gökçen Usta, for their superb direction.
I leave you on one word which explains the last two episodes : Bambi.
