TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

windwhis1 My heart sings, cries, laughs, and warms as I watch this series. I find that I can not watch the American TV series as the modern producers seem to go for cheap sex, bad humor, and shallow content. My opinion may be viewed as being bias and general but as I compare the content, and the depth of the story and acting in Karadayi I can only say that it superior in every way. It successfully portrays real selfless love not just between the main two characters, Mahir and Feride but allow love for family, neighbors and friends. The characters, emotion, interaction with family all feel real and genuine.The love story and struggle has left me in tears many times. I look forward to coming home and spending sometime with these characters. Netflix customer service can provide no information on when or if the remaining series will be aired and so I wait with the hope that Netflix will stop streaming partial seasons of these foreign TV shows and either get all on the seasons and air them or not put them on the site for viewing; it is frustrating and annoying.

mwaceves I loved this series. I don't speak Turkish, but I found a way to see it through all three seasons.First, I loved the actors. All the principal actors were fantastic. The Kara family, Feride and her mother, the friends from the neighborhood, the other love interests, were all very believable. A few of the bad guys were over the top, but I guess the global audience loves seeing the bad boys being bad. Targut was kind of funny when he had his tantrums.I thought the plot was well developed and had lots of interesting twists. I enjoyed the backstories of all the characters. I fell in love with the Kara family, especially the parents, with their love, strength, courage and poetic embrace of life.The direction was good. The actors worked together seamlessly. All that emotion was pulled out of everyone. There were many beautiful romantic scenes. The director did not depend on cheap tricks, like showing the same events over and over, or holding onto facial expressions too long. The settings were interesting. I binge watched season 1 subtitled in English on Netflix. The rich voices of the actors made it easier to read along and know what was going on. After season 1, I looked around YouTube for more English, butjust found a few scenes. Then I found Resumen HD in Spanish. This became the Feride and Mahir show because they cut most of the other scenes that had other actors, keeping just enough to keep the plot together. There were things that I never did understand, like why Mahir's brother had a sudden change of opinion, but I still enjoyed watching the story to the end.

Eiman Rahimi I feel a duty to share my feelings about Karadayı. I watched this series dubbed in Persian split in 350 episodes. I feel a close cultural background with this story especially the timeframe of its events in the 1970s. As a whole, the series look quite different in texture from almost every other series or movie I have ever watched in my life. It is very real. I am not a critique, but I am going to share what I could absorb from Karadayı:1. I admire the great play by Kenan İmirzalıoğlu, Bergüzar Korel, Çetin Tekindor, Yurdaer Okur, and virtually all the cast. I can't point out any particular actor/actress. They are a team of professionals in one place. Kenan, for instance, can express a broad spectrum of feelings on his face. He can mimic, let's say, 15 shades of happiness, 16 shades of sadness, 17 shades of anger, combinations of them, as well as diverse shades of indifference, astonishing, and virtually any feeling in its right context without any exaggeration. In his extreme anger, Kenan can momentarily get a little bit hopeful and happy; and then resume to his previous level of anger. For example, anytime after getting good news about his father, Nazif, who he holds him in high regards, his face blows into cheers and happiness. I have never been able to feel the life as vivid as Kenan feels it!. He should be a gifted actor whose face muscles are richly innervated. Kenan has been excelling in his roles compared to his plays in the previous series. Same thing with Bergüzar. She can love you now and despise you next minute. She can be so flirting in this scene and so serious in the next scene. They both can cry anytime they want. Other main characters are also great players. I should also congratulate the Persian dubbers. They conveyed passion, love, kindness, anger, and every other feeling through their voices. You could easily tell when the character was determined or hesitant just by listening to their voices. Kenan has enjoyed many dubbers in his other series such as Ezel, but Mr. Nader Keymaram has done an extraordinarily superior dubbing job for Kenan in this series.2. The directorship is simply GREAT! The way the scenes relate to each other and the story timeline is put together entices you to be impatient to watch the following scene or the next episode. I couldn't sleep enough just to watch it continuously, even 15 episodes in a row sometimes. Although the story could still be trimmed easily, the prolonged story is not a big deal, especially when moral lessons fill in the conversations.The series depict a story that seems very real. I noticed some less real or less logical parts throughout the story, but they are infrequent and pleasantly forgivable. These less real scenes are just symbolic, used to narrate the message of the story, and don't affect the beauty of the whole thing.There is a high fidelity in expressing the time of day (using dusk, the moon, and the newspaper boy) and time of year (using people's clothing, green plants, winter trees, snow, and people discussing weather). 3. The camera does a professional job. The camera captures the scenes virtually from any angle regardless the location, either a small room, on the street, on a hill, etc. The camera is just salient in three dimensions. It can move fast focusing in or out, descending or ascending based on the stress level of the scene. It can suddenly start to swirl vertically or horizontally if needed. It showed Mahir once he was sitting on his bed in the jail, leaning to wall behind, drown in his thoughts and banging his head slightly, slowly, and repeatedly to the wall. The camera, showing him from his side 90 degrees turned, as if he is banging is head to the ground, to entrain your empathy with his deep sorrow. The camera does a lot of subtle tricks in every episode. I wish I were a cinema critic to pick all its tricks. But the ones I can notice, help me to feel the fragrance of the scenes better. The light helps the camera to emphasize the feelings of the characters much better.4. The music is from a great Turkish composer, Toygar Işıklı. I didn't know him before, but I am addicted to some soundtracks such as Ateşe Yürümek, Ölüme Gülümse (İdam Sehpası), Elimi Tut, and Benden Kaçış Yok (Turgut). I should appreciate his choices of the old songs including but not limited to Sensiz Saadet Neymiş (by Yaşar Güvenir), Kıskanıyorum (by İnci Çayırlı), Unutama Beni (by Esmeray), Geri Dönülmez Bir Yoldayım (by Neşe Karaböcek), Sensiz Kaldığım Geceler (by Şecaattin Tanyerli)In summary, Karadayı is the best series I've ever watched. I laughed and cried with the characters. I was just stuck to the chair, hungry to watch next episodes. I wish it never ended. I will watch it again next summer.

lia00027 OK first I really didn't like to watch this series mostly because Turkey's series is long, boring, easy to predict with what will happen, and the story is too complex with mindset that different with people's mindset in my country, however this series even though the story is rather dragging since Turkey tends to make unwanted scenes and uses slow-motion for the effect still acceptable. Let's see for a foreigner like me who grew up in a free country and received education abroad I'm used to having broad minded and easy-going attitude so I sometimes rather don't understand with the naivety of the characters' mind but still I try to understand more. So when the story went to season 2 it became better mainly because of the plot. The villain truly showed brilliant thinking and other character like the brother of the hero here showed distinguish breakthrough of naive and kind mindset still the script written slow hence the series which suppose can be short become longer than its necessary. Then on season 3 where the start rather entertaining to see the male lead became smart and nurtured as a kind gangster by his father's friend but then the writer tried to make him looked dumb again by made him come back to his old lover (Feride) well let's say because she was a dumb she was dragging her lover became dumb too, let's call Mahir and Feride the main lead characters here as dumb and dumber just like what a person wrote in one of Karadayi's forum.I find it funny reading comments mostly from "Karadayi" forum that called "Orhan" the hero's little brother here as Dumb even called him and his ex-brother in law Dumb and Dumber, well certainly the person who wrote it is rather dumb herself and yes the ex-brother in law is truly dumb but let's try to understand that this guy was losing his beloved kid certainly he could get angry to the world and get drunk, back to the topic Orhan is not a dumb person this guy using his brain and mainly because Orhan is the smartest in the family because his brother is a hot-headed person so he was easily being set up by many people and his hot attitude fought with injustice openly created many enemies for him and his family while Orhan is a calm person he would think first before act (of course accept for love he chose his ex whom betrayed him once). However on season 3 they changed the smart Orhan became stupid Orhan, Orhan was dumb when he chose to go back to his stupid brother then almost got himself killed few times because of his stupidity. The father is OK but had old- fashion of thinking, the women there cannot live without men supporting them yup on the old days it happened but women in Kara's family are totally being over protected by the father and brothers hence making them cannot think far beyond border. The villain here "Mehmet Saim" is a genius master mind freak killer, he never used his own hand to kill people instead using other's but the man got what he deserved at the end. Then we have the heroine "Feride" Mahir's ultimate lover, supporter, and true love she was rather naive and stupid but she was growing up throughout the series because she was living in a world created by her father so she didn't really know the situation and the bad things happen in a real world. I didn't really admire her selfish love for showing amazing love for Mahir and not caring for her parents' thought and well being at all but the writer worked hard to show that her dad is the evil one so it's OK for his child to take her dad's love for granted, while honestly I can understand his dad's mind. Who would want her/his daughter to end up with a rude and stupid person like Mahir who throughout episodes always ended up in jail because his hot-tempered attitude hence easy for his enemies to trap him killing someone, no plot changed it happened around 3/4 time already or maybe more until I lose count of his stupidity. Here the writer of the story tried testing their love into a despair before actually gained "Happily ever after" ending.So watch this drama if you have spare time with your family because this series teaching people about hideous and cunning way of people hurting others and for people to survive and defend their family and love. Most importantly not to act like Mahir or you'll end up in big deep troubles like he had and don't act like Feride a selfish young woman with no logical thinking who can only think about her beautiful and pure love while not thinking about the consequences of her actions, she always think that she is the most tragic heroine in the world while hello most people couldn't be as lucky as her being pampered in a rich family, being protected, and more important get a good job as a judge because of your dad's connection and being respected and listened to by people. Teens can believe this non sense story but the rationale will not. I don't really like this serial but since it is showing in my country on weekdays night so it's quite entertaining to watch it but the story as I wrote before is too dragging and many unnecessary scenes are shown also the characters becoming stupid on season 3 except for Ayten, a smart woman who could protect herself after her divorce and still cared about others.Btw this series is better than ezel, that one is boring and too complicated and non-sense with tragic ending.
