I read this is an adaptation of another series called The Cleaning Lady but I've not watched that series before. So, I'm watching this with minimal spoilers. The main cast characters keep me watching this series. Demet as Farah is perfect and she plays her role very well. As a viewer, I feel her emotions and desperation. Engin as Tahir fits perfectly too. He comes across as a hardened killer and his looks and attire is exactly the part. Yet he is kind and lonely and portrays it well in those short moments. The child actor playing Kerimshah is an absolute delight. His huge eyes are very expressive. His smile lights up the screen. There's 2 issues I have with this series from episode 1 to 3 (only 3 episodes released to-date). It's a bit slow paced at some instances that I find myself multi-tasking as I watch. Secondly, the twists and turns in the story can be predictable. I was on spot in predicting some of the developments in the 3 episodes. Now I'm thinking whether my prediction on Kerimshah's father would be correct. All in all, a very watchable series.

The series will not be a copy of American or Argentinian series. It will have common elements, but it will be a completely different story. The first episode was excellent. The main theme is taken to another level, one that neither the Americans nor the Argentinians have reached in their versions. A strong cast, and a very well developed script. Engin Akyurek and Demet Ozdemir have an electrifying harmony. Little Rastin Paknahad is far beyond what we have seen in previous versions. It is a great injustice to say that this series is a copy of a version previously made by others...only if you are too stupid to admit it. Watch it and you won't regret it!

Finally last night I saw the first episode.

I personally think that Adim Farah is an excellent product, from every point of view.

Wise remake, built with grace and intelligence.

Convincing, often superlative acting, by each actor, starting with the protagonists Demet Özdemir (Farah) and Engin Akyürek (Tahir), without forgetting Firat Tanis (Mehmet).

Congratulations to whoever took care of the casting.

Direction, screenplay, scenography, music, editing are simply perfect.

The rhythm leaves no room for a single breath and you are not bored even for a moment.

When the episode ends, you want to start watching it again!

I hope it goes on keeping the same level!

Season 2 (boring and non-sense) -- 2/10.

Writers are confused about what scenario to write. They just write scenario for 2+ hours waste of time. Simply no interesting story to tell in season 2. Very liked actors, but very poor story, it lacks substance!

Season 1 -- 8/10 Forget about the series 'The Cleaning Lady' and don't compare to it when writing reviews. It's like comparing apples and oranges. You got to pretend you have not seen series 'The Cleaning Lady' otherwise you may not like the series 'Adim Farah.'

Good combination of actors -- Demet, Engin, and Firat. Demet does it again with her real superb acting no matter what role she plays. Engin and Firat acting are wonderful and real especially Firat. The series at times is exciting and suspenseful.

Demet is really very good, in all genres, she has shown great versatility, Engin is also really great talent, both put close together create a masterpiece, those who comment badly are because they are unhappy and envious of an objectively perfect work, they deserve so much success. The script, the music, the cast, have enormous potential, they certainly deserve a lot, the commitment is there and they will certainly achieve the success they deserve. Rastin is also really good for his age, he is so adorable in all the scenes, both the ones with Farah and the ones with Tahir, I wish much success to this little star too.

When u have engin and demat in a series (two of the finest actors) naturally u expect a lot from the series but this series failed to fullfill the expectation . Although both actors tried their best to save this not so good screenplay but it is very difficult ... at same time it is not bad either ,, the problem is it is not at the level of kara para ask ,fatmagul. Thats why the huge dissappointment ... also both actors aged a bit but still they did their part well . The writers failed to give a great script and settled for a good script. So u get an average turkish series . Not a classic one that suits demet and engin like actors calibre .

When a series leaves me wanting to keep watching the second episode right away then it's the right one! This is the case with Adim Farah! From the very first scenes he glued me to the screen with an ever increasing rhythm parallel to moments of great intimacy, all reinforced by the great skill and credibility of the leading actors such as Engin Akyurek (Tahir), Demet Ozdemir (Farah), FIrat Tanis (Mehmet) and little Rastin Paknahad (Kerim) who managed to get into the characters and the story so well that I reached the end of the episode, after 2 hours, without realizing it and exclaiming "already finished!!!" I don't know the story well, except in broad terms, of the series from which this remake is based, but I don't care much in the end because I liked what I saw last night, and a lot!

The cast, the screenplay, the direction, the editing, the photography and last but not least the soundtrack are perfect... in short, a great product.

I hope it's just the beginning of a long exciting journey... I rarely find series that leave me with that eagerness to see the next episode and in this case I can't wait for next Wednesday!

The movie is good in many aspects , but in the 12th episode when farah is reading sepideh's writings, the first page should've been swapped with the second page because the meanings don't match with farah's line and the page and line are in wrong orders , i mean is it really that hard to pay an iranian (which there are quite a lot of them in turkey) to ask them a bit of question about the language, noone speaks persian like that and noone writes persian like that, the directors should've put more effort toward Demet Özdemir accent because she speaks persian simply, awful. Karimshah is half iranian and half persian him self so he can speak both language really good and it made me really happy to see atleast 1 of the actors being iranian in a movie where there is a lot of line and talking in my language .

A very smart duplication of HBO's show 'the Cleaning Lady'. This one has many medical flows but it is still acceptable. Actings are good but Engine still uses his lips to express his feelings. He does not need that because his eyes talks to us perfectly and that is enough. He is amazing in this show. His acting is good. The boy's acting is excellent so is the actresses who plays Farah. The plot is good so are the twists. The police officer is as annoying as the one in HBO show. I cannot see the idea behind the family who are Farsh's friends but it is still engaging. My special thanks to the writers for reminding people of Iran's ongoing Revolution especially by using the song 'our House is Far Far away...'

I have not seen the original but this seems to be a very promising show. Gripping story, no histrionics so far, great acting by Engin Akyurek, Demet and supporting cast. Good buildup and will definitely watch the series. I like the pace at which the characters were introduced and how their backgrounds will now unfold giving us a glimpse into their past. Excited!

Hope it stays as gripping as the buildup and does not drag unnecessarily which tends to be the case with most shows.

I am very disappointed by the earlier reviews and the conclusions sometimes viewers draw based on their past biases.

This serie is ok. I don't like the lead actor in this role. He is good at happiness and love but I don't believe as a mafia man. The lead actress is good but again always stiff when it comes to physical scenes. She is making it work as a mother. The scenes between the police officer and Tahir are to be laughed at. They should practice the running and fighting scenes, to me it looks fake and amateur. The story line is getting better around the 10 episode. I think people are making it something it's not because they love those two actors and they can't see the negative. I feel bad saying this for a child actor, but I don't think he is good.

I will watch to see the story unfolds and it's good enough to continue but I hope it's not to many episodes.

I am absolutely enamored with this series! It captivates me with its exceptional storyline, gripping suspense, brilliant performances, undeniable chemistry between the lead characters, and the heartwarming connection shared by Kerim, his mother, and Tahir. Adim Farah truly represents the epitome of a remarkable adaptation, surpassing any expectations I had from its source material, the Cleaning Lady (which, by the way, if you were unaware, is what it's based on). Despite reading numerous comments drawing comparisons to other Turkish series, I find myself unable to identify any similarities because this show continuously surprises me, defying any predictions I attempt to make. The talent displayed by every actor is praiseworthy; it's as if the roles were tailor-made for them. Engin Akyürek's performance is nothing short of incredible!

The series is very good. Good plot, good performances, direction, music, set design. Engin Akyürek excellent in his role, he has created Tahir Lekesiz as a unique character in the mafia world, he has all the nuances he needs. Demet, whom I see for the first time, makes Farah a believable character and a strong mother. Tahir's world will be shaken by the presence of Farah and his son who will add a touch of humanity to his life. Kerimsah will remind Tahir of forgotten maternal feelings and restore her humanity. I think it will have a long journey in the world, like all the works of Engin Akyürek Good luck to you all.

Currently, Demet is among the most talented, appreciated and successful actresses in Turkey...The serial film is of high quality, captivating, you don't have time to get bored, it deals with sensitive themes about the life of emigrants, illness, the mafia. The character Farah was predestined to Demet. It's a lesson about pain, fear, despair, but first of all about the courage, value and strength of a woman, of a mother who does anything to see her child healthy. The actors Demet and Engin complement each other, the harmony is great. The film deserves all the awards! Bravo!!!.....Good luck!!...

This series is so beautiful. Every time you feel like you're watching a finished film. Direction, editing, photography, music are made to keep the viewer glued to the screen. The story is very interesting, the suspense always high. Special mention for Demet who plays Farah, this actress is a real talent, she passes without difficulty from the comic genre to the dramatic without difficulty. Her performance is so natural. Accompanied by the great Engin, award-winning actor who tries his hand at a new but absolutely spot on role. The Rastin, Kerimsah, is a baby so talented and every actor is good.

People have been blindly willing to accept this ridiculous story as good simply because they are fanatical fans of the two protagonists.

The storyline is absurd where we are led to believe that good is bad and bad is good. As the story unfolds in each episode it is more apparent the script writers fooled no one with this plot.

It's loud screaming, lumbering walking,annoying background music and sub par acting are just boring.

Are we to believe a barrage of gunfire from a row of sharp shooters hit no one? A sham wedding with a terrified looking bride in her apparently sexy nightgown dress and Herman Munster groom have time to yell sweet nothings at each other while dodging bullets? And by now the not so surprising relationship between two characters will be revealed if you can manage to stay awake to find out in the next episode!

Enough is enough. Are people too stupid to see this so called entertainment is the same old lame boy meets girl, boy falls for girl and the fantasy continues. The boy looks like an overacting old man grinning at his young daughter eerily. She is always a hot mess with that gravely voice attempting to be a serious actor who fails miserably.

If you were hoping to watch a crime drama with a touch of spice and intrigue you have been duped. Also the close up shots revealing nose hairs, stringy hair and bulging eyes are such an awful attempt at closeups, a young child could do better with their first attempt to use a camera!

So too little from the supporting cast and too much from the two leads to make this show even mediocre at best. Stop fooling yourselves. You want to see good mafia drama watch the Godfather or Sopranos.

My suggestion is pull the plug on this mindless show and put the viewer out of his/her misery. Go watch the Emperor's New Clothes one day soon! It is much more intriguing.

I am obsessed with the show every episode is so good, now I'm very sad because we have to wait until September my favorite episodes are 8,12 and 14, I started to watch the series because of Demet, she's my favourite actress I knew engin in SK but hated his character there but he plays Tahir so good I am now obsessed with them now i watch shows where engin was main laid right now I'm watching Bbo his character there is very psycho but i don't know he is very fine looking, I thing I like engin he seems very nice, Demet and Engin look so good together, they should play together in a romcom very nice.

Adim Farah is undoubtedly the best dizi of 2023, although it's a remake of the series 'La Chica que Limpia', the excellent team of scriptwriters is offering us a completely different story that grabs us as each chapter progresses, that added to the great cast headed by Engin Akyürek and Demet Özdemir, accompanied by actors like Firat Tanis, Senan Kara and little Rastin Paknahad.

Its strength is not only in the main story and the excellent performances of its two main characters, but in the whole: interesting side stories, soundtrack, photography, scenery.

Each episode keeps our interest in the TV for more than two hours and leaves us longing for the next episode to come quickly.

This version is not as good as the American version, it's now a love story which would be ok if the protagonists were comfortable with their love scenes. The male character is known for his performance as a character who is good at acting as a romantic person, this is not one of his best. The female protagonist is so stiff and she seems uncomfortable in the romantic scenes. Because they turned the series into a romantic one they made it fail to meet the standards. The writers changed too much of the original story. There are a few episodes left so maybe they can salvage some of it. I would not watch it again.

I personally think that Adim Farah is an excellent product, from every point of view.

Wise remake, built with grace and intelligence.

Convincing, often superlative acting, by each actor, starting with the protagonists Demet Özdemir (Farah) and Engin Akyürek (Tahir), and KerinSah
