Review of Akrep

Akrep (2020–2021)
6/10
Strong Female Lead and Great Storyline
10 February 2021
Evrim Alasya and Demet Akbag deliver tremendous amount of charisma and high-standard acting. The storyline is mesmerizing and regarding Turkey, it is very unorthodox. Unlike most of the material we see on Turkish TV, this series is dark, unordinary and deep, not (hetero)normative, cliche and traditional. Alasya's acting is especially worth mentioning, since her transition from Meliha in the Red Room to Ferda in this, was conspicuously sharp. In this series, her character, Ferda, is fierce, seductive, vicious, Dalilah-Jezebel-like. It is thrilling to watch such an antagonist who is that charismatic and esoteric. Akbag, too, conveys an exquisite performance regarding Ferda's mother. Overall this series has such marvelous actors and the storyline is exquisite. Definitely a must for every one interested in good Turkish TV.
