Review of The Queen

The Queen (2023)
10/10
A culturally embedded and yet modern show
25 March 2023
Such an excellent pilot. Burcu Ozberk's talent doesn't need anymore validation in my opinion. Ozberk is absolutely phenomenal in this. Selin, Gokhan and Ozgun are equally brilliant. This Turkish adaptation of Queen Sugar is a must see and will definitely be an interesting take on the Turkish woman and all its definitions, family ties, cheating and rape culture in Turkey.

The chemistry between all the actors is top-tier. Deniz and Ates's destroyed romance will be a blast to watch. Whether they can ever reconcile or not isn't what matters on this show. What matters is their journey as two parents moving forward with or without each other for the sake of their daughter. Ates will have to redeem himself and it'll be hard but amazing to watch. Furthermore, the kids involved in the project will definitely be essential to the storytelling; something Turkish shows are known for. Those children are characters of their own. Not extras.
