If you like Eddie Murphy, don't waste your and his time. You won't see the real Eddie Murphy. Not because of him but because of the horrible script and direction of this wasteful and boring movie. Other actors and actresses are also big part of the camera (they were not supposed to steal at the camera for 65 times). So, watch any other good Christmas movie but didn't waste your time watching this. They picked the wrong kids, also. Eddie Murthy's wife was not so happy acting. Most boring Christmas movie ever. From 1 to 10, I would have given 0 , but the minimum is 1. So, this is a one star. ---

Direction: 1 star Scenario: 1 star Camera: 1 star Cinematography: 1 star Sound: 1 star Music: 1 star Acting: 1 star -------------------- This is a sad joke from the 70's. Horrible direction and scenario and very sad acting. They forced good actors to act horrible. Unnecessary music, extremely poor camera. Nothing is good. Very sad. Should t be playing anywhere, anytime. If you watch Cukur, Yargi, Aile you will know that there are great scenarios, directors, actors, music. If you watch this most stupid tv series , you will think that Turkey is very weak in producing good series.----------------

1 to 10 Script: 2 Directing: 2 Music: 3 Acting: 3 Average 2.5 This is one of the most boring series with horrible scenario and weak directing. Episodes are 2.5 hours with flashbacks, slow motion and bad texts. Grandmother cries non stop is another horrible directing. Some of the younger actors and actresses are wasted with horrible direction. 60's movies were better.

Bad story, bad directing, not too good acting. Don't waste your time. This is not a comedy. Not worth over 1 star. One of the worst series. Won't and shouldn't last more than 6 episodes. Watch anything else, please.

I thought this was going to be unusual and great (reading the 10 star teenager reviews) but found out it had one of the worst directing and editing in addition to Sound and some of really really bad acting. I watched until episode 10 and got extremely bored and disappointed. Just read the book, it is much better. They destroyed the book with this series. There are so many talented directors and actors in Turkey, just use them.

If you don't want to waste your time with 55 minute boring and unfunny episodes, watch this. It's simple, sweet, short and funny. Great to see Mr. Bean in 22.

Script: 1 Directing:: 2 Acting: 7 Music: 2 ( Why Christmas music?) Editing:2 AVERAGE: 2.8

Extremely poor writing a directing ( 2 women fighting while the housekeeper is still inside, people see the passenger in a tinted car from 3rd floor at night, and many many errors). It is boring and senseless with no logic. There are many good writers and directors in Turkey but they were not offered the job. Shame. Watch something else if you don't want to waste your time. Teenagers have better movies to watch. 2.8 out of 10.

Not a bad story. Interesting to watch. But the religion is exaggerated in almost every scene. You have to slow down a little. Don't sell the religion, just sell good series. Allah allah!!!

Now, started watching the season 2, episodes 16-17 and extremely disappointed. Story is different but weak, directing is all over the place and confusing and the actors are also confused. 30 second episodes are 2.5 hours and 80% is unnecessary. You can tell that from script writer to director and to the actors there is a huge confusion. Hope they will pick it up to make a better series, otherwise it is going to be very boring. It is sad to see that good actors and actresses are being wasted.

Director has to watch at least 1000 movies to learn more. Nobody cares about boring series. Needs action, better editing, and cinematography. Try again, it may work.

You have to understand Today's politics in Turkey in order to enjoy this unique tv series. Well done, well directed and acted. Erdogan lovers and followers will not understand what was is this series about and they will post their one star reviews. Just watch and enjoy.

But there was no excitement with this series. It was hard to believe to script and directing, which did not help actors with their roles. Very weak, very boring 8x45 minutes. Hotel looked great.

Tyler Perry could be a very nice person. However, his directing, writing and acting are not as nice as he is. Another horrible Tyler Perry movie. Just don't waste your time. Feel bad for his abilities.

Average writing, average directing, average acting. Not funny at all. Needs work. First 2 episodes are very slow and boring. Heavy Violence, Sex, Language.

Movie critics are having tough time to review this movie.. It is simply about communication, love, caring and our world. You have to watch it carefully. Timing is perfect. If Tom Hanks , a dog and a robot care about each other we have a lot to learn about peace, understanding each other and friendship. Highly recommended. Extra Bonus: Tom Hanks is excellent.

Script:4 Directing: 3 Acting: 6 Question: if Rafet and his family are multi- billionaires why does their house look like a bombed 2nd world war building (outside). Any explanation?

After a while it got unnecessarily long and boring. Poor writing and directing.

First 7 episodes were somehow promising. However, the final (episode 8) was very disappointing. After the detailed character studies (first 7) we ended up with no introduction, no character studies for the killer. Seemed like the writers(s) and director forgot about the episode 8. That lowers the rating.

Recommended. New steps in Turkish movies. Good story, decent directing, impressive acting.

Actors and Actresses (Rating 1 to 10)

Onur Sarihan (Furkan Palali): 2 Demet Ozdemir ( Lale): 6 Irem Helvacioglu (Pelinsu Yalin): 2 Cihan Ercan (Erol sarihan): 5 Sumru Yavrucuk (songul Yenilmez): 3 Ceren Tasci (Filiz sarihan): 2 Fatma Toptas (Nilufer Yorulmaz):4 Ozlem Tokaslan (Yildiz Sarihan):4 Gokce Ozyol (Kurtulus Yorulmaz):3 Sevinc Erbulak (Betul sarihan): 2 Eda Ozel (sebnem Yalin):3

Results: Below average Recommended: No Comments: Poor writing, directing and acting with constant repeats. Waste of time. Watch anything else )e.g. Erkenci Kus) Demet Ozdemir is the only talented actress but directors wasted that too. Mothers are extremely exaggerated. Kurtulus Yorulmaz is also exaggerated. Looks like directors lost control, writers didn't care and actors start running all over the place with non-stop and uncontrolled music.

Series Rating: 3.

First impression is everything. Watched the first 2 episodes and decided to continue. It is different and thoughtful. Good directing, good acting and good script. Highly recommended.

Please don't waste your time (if you are 6 years or older). This is the stupidest Turkish series ever created by some idiots. No script. No directing. Just weird actors and actresses are talking nonsense. They wasted some good actors and actresses with horrible script and worst directing. Watch any other Turkish shows. There are many smart shows. Do not waste your time.

This movie will make you believe in zombies and excellent movie making.

This is the most boring and lifeless tv show. I would be surprised if they have 2nd, 3rd seasons. Haven't even smiled yet. Writing is extremely poor, directing is horrible and actors have no clue what is going on. Don't waste your time. You are better of with re-runs.
