Turkish TV series are usually quite popular. But they all follow the same route: pretty girl and pretty boy, falling in love through a coincidence. In the first few episode, these two would always contradict themselves and would get together in the middle of the season, just to get separated at the end of the season. This is not the deal with this comedy-drama right here. I have watched After Life and Master of None a bunch of times, and this is a pretty good Turkish representation of both. I know that Ibrahim Buyukak is a massive fan of Ricky Gervais, I am not really sure if he was influenced by After Life straight away, but he definitely had the comedy-drama idea from Ricky Gervais. I didn't like the fact that it was shot in Istanbul but was made to look like it was shot in Bursa. I know that during the pandemic it would be really hard to make it happen, but it would give the show a more unique spin. Other than that, characters are mind-blowing, the cast is incredible and the story was great. I am eager to watch the second season, also to see how the story can be expanded to another season. I will start watching it for the second time right now.
