The Veil (2024)
Terrible
Initially drawn in by Elizabeth Moss's presence, I embarked on this series unaware of its inclusion of Turkey, my homeland. However, Moss's performance fell short, her expressions often devoid of depth and her acting lacking conviction. The plot, a haphazard concoction, prioritizes action over coherence, neglecting crucial details and logic along the way. The accents, a cacophony of inaccuracies, further detract from immersion. Fight scenes, intended to be gripping, fail to evoke the desired impact, riddled with glaring inconsistencies. Moreover, the portrayal of Turkey is a caricature, replete with inaccuracies and stereotypes. One wonders why the creators didn't opt for a research trip to capture the essence of the country accurately, instead of relegating it to a generic 'Arab' backdrop filled with exaggerated yelling. In sum, a disappointing endeavor that squanders its potential on superficial spectacle.
Ripley (2024)
Can Lucio the cat get an Oscar?
The cat saw it all, the looks exchanged between him and Ripley were unbelievable. Such Cinema Noir. 'Ripley" is a masterclass in tension, intrigue, and psychological depth. From its captivating performances to its meticulously crafted plot twists, each episode leaves you craving more. With lush cinematography and a haunting score, it's a mesmerizing journey into the complexities of identity.
I just loved it all, the B&W, the acting, the adaptation, directing and soundtracks.
I will watch some more work of the director for sure. Well done to all especially Lucio
.
I definitely recommend this to everyone.
Maestro (2023)
boring
Maestro' struggles to find any semblance of depth or engagement throughout its runtime. It's a film that treads the line between boredom and emptiness, ultimately landing firmly in the realm of sheer monotony.
Despite its attempt to capture a compelling narrative, 'Maestro' falls short on every front. The storyline lacks substance, leaving viewers adrift in a sea of unfulfilled potential. The characters feel hollow, failing to evoke any empathy or interest.
The film's biggest flaw is its inability to offer anything beyond a yawning emptiness. It lacks the emotional resonance or narrative drive needed to keep an audience invested. Even the most ardent enthusiasts of the genre would find 'Maestro' an arduous watch.
In essence, 'Maestro' is a vacuous, uninteresting film that fails to deliver any semblance of entertainment or substance. It's a forgettable venture into cinema that leaves viewers yearning for more depth and engagement.
Istanbul Için Son Çagri (2023)
Don't waste your time
It is terrible as expected from Beren and Kivanc. They both play in many Turkish movies replaying same Turkish clichees on love etc. The English speaking scenes were so bad it made me laugh. They try and speak so slowly it's like kindergarten English class.
Also the wrong grammar of Turkish language used in Turkish movies and series irritates me. We don't use pronouns in the beginning of sentences such as I will come; instead we say will come. This wrong use of language with the typical pauses and stares in Turkish Movie industry really annoys me. This is bad use of language.
I definitely don't recommend anyone to waste their time.
Sahmaran (2023)
Cringe
Seriously, I gave up after 5 minutes. Very cringe, predictable with terrible acting. Turkish cinema needs to learn acting is not equal to pretty actresses with tons if make up and botox.
I can even see Serenay reading the script, nothing natural.
The beginning starts with a hot city where the actress walks with boots even!!!!
This is beyond cringe and pretentious. Netflix should keep Turkish producers more accountable and not pay for this level of quality!!!!!
This is beyond disappointing it is pathetic!!!!!
I don't recommend anyone to watch and waste their precious time.
Serenay please stop acting.
Kus Uçusu (2022)
Botox and Fillers
The script is so bad, full of logical errors. A girl recruits herself to a supposedly best news show. The acting and actors are terrible, unable to move their faces and lips. I would give 0 stars.
Zeytin Agaci (2022)
Big Fail
The summary of the show is : Use quotes from 'it didn't start with you' book and try adding some sex and the city vibes.
I wonder if they paid copyrights to the author of the book, my guess is no, so it's theft.
The actresses are just trying to look pretty and do nothing else. Only natural actors are the ordinary people in workshops.
The Forgiven (2021)
All this cast and
I was attracted to the cast and egsotic environment but it's pure trash really. Basically nothing in it, no logic, no scenario, just nothing to watch.
Must be a retirement project for Phinnes.
Black Bird (2022)
I'm losing confidence in imdb ratings
I watched 2 episodes, after seeing the rating. It's at best a primary school play, really bad acting, writing and flow. It's almost actors are making fun of the scenario.
Night Sky (2022)
So cliché
It's not even a sci/fi! It's a very poorly made family drama that really really wants to teach us the importance of marriage, family etc. The show wants to give these messages, it reminds every minute.
Really bad!
WeCrashed (2022)
Terrible acting
What terrible acting. What accent is Leno speaking? He sounds like cont dracula.
It was a waste of time for me and very frustrating with the accent.
Try harder people.
Pera Palas'ta Gece Yarisi (2022)
What a lost opportunity- Stolen from other shows
Storyline from Outlanders, Soundtrack from Game of Thrones how sad is it.
Hazal Kaya's acting and use of Turkish language is pathetic, wrong grammar and low class words.
The idea is great, but they failed keeping genuine and not stealing from other shows, as well as Ms Kaya's acting.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Religion sells
I was quite confused watching this movie, it's really a mix bag. Are we rooting for Tammy or hating her? I didn't know who she was before watching the movie, but the name suggested someone charming and charismatic.
All I saw while watching was 2 hustlers, abusing people's beliefs into making money. But the movie showed Tammy as another victim, which I'm sure she wasn't. If the focus was on her psychological disorders with troubled childhood, it could have been successful.
Love Is Blind: Japan (2022)
I understand the population decline in Japan now
After watching this I understand Japanese culture and the reason for population decline in Japan.
I didn't enjoy the show; people are too dry and fake. Especially women, they keep giving the men impression that they want to marry but in reality they don't.
Most of them lack EQ big time. Boring show in summary.
Flugt (2021)
Masterpiece
What an amazing movie! How thought provoking how well made..
Acting, writing, directing 10 stars
Probably the best movie I have seen in the last 2 years! Thank you for making this.
Brazen (2022)
Worst thing I watched
I wanted to watch, because Netflix showed this as one of their top movies.
This is literally the worst movie I've seen! There cannot be any other reason for Netflix to promote this other than it being a USA show and this is racism.
The Motive (2020)
Pointless
The name suggests we will find out the motive for these murders, but everyone hints something with no information .
The video footages most of the time are not even his.
Pointless boring show.
You (2018)
Season 3 sucks
It lacks logic all around. VP s in my company can barely afford the life these 2 are living with no jobs. The neighbor doesn't even notice his wife gone missing, then he turns completely opposite and gets obsessed with this. It feels like the writers just randomly wrote it.
Maid (2021)
White supremacy
The show makes me feel like look she is white being oppressed by all colored rich people around her. Acting is very bad, especially of Andy Mc Dowell. It is dull and boring.
Leverage: Redemption (2021)
Primary School Show
I got fooled by the 9.3 sating and was like wow really!
Unfortunately scooby doo is more advanced than this primary school show.
Luca (2021)
Not like other Pixar Movies
When I see anything made by pixar, I get excited I love them.
But this was by far a very low quality production in all means. Disappointed.
Manifest (2018)
Fooled by Netflix
The series was shown as one of the top of Netflix which is why I even started watching.
This is pure trash, no scenario, no plot, no acting.
Every few scene is a repetition of before.
Do not waste your previous time on this wanna be soap opera.
Dirty John (2018)
Connie Britton
I wanted to watch the complete series, but cannot tolerate Connie Britton's acting. She can barely complete a sentence let alone act! Her voice is so weak so as her entire demeanor.
Please choose real actresses if you want a good show.
I May Destroy You (2020)
Fooled by the rating
Only to see the actress peeing all the time! Really I was just fooled by the rating. Has nothing to offer in my view.
Fatma (2021)
Great
Just amazing! And I don't say it very easily. Acting by Burcu is 10 stars!
