I have never seen a TV-series like this before. Although I have been watching TV for more than 40 years, this is the first time I felt that I have to comment about a TV show.
Berkun Oya's writing is phenomenal. Sometimes, a diologue/monologue or a sentence makes you laugh first, then it makes you think, and question the life and the world. The language and symbols he uses are very poetic at times. Unfortunately, some part of that beauty will be lost in translation. In some scenes, I didn't know how to react such as when little Metin was reciting a poem of Einar Georg Einarsson after witnessing his parents fight.
Although the show's messages about parenthood, childhood, relationships, and existential questions are to some extent universal, the world Berkun Oya created speaks more directly to people who lived their childhood in the 1980s and 1990s or people who were parents in the same time period.
I am hoping that they don't make another season and lose the originality of the show at the expense of commercial success.
