Loved season 1, just tried to watch season 2. Too bad. The mother and lead character in season 1, played by the great Bahadir, who pretty much carried things, is gone, the production is cute and vapid, and in the age of MeToo and heightened awareness of men sexually abusing women, you see breasts emphasized everywhere in a crass attempt to attract male viewers. Also, in the early 50's, in Turkey no less, where I would guess this attitude still hasn't changed much, a man, smoking a cigar, voices a terminally stupid line of script like "I know these aren't good for you", you know you are in the hands of idiots.

I thought I had seen this movie and liked it, or maybe I imagined I had because of its hallowed reputation, but now, having tried to watch it again, I realize I couldn't have. What a tedious bore. 48 plus minutes in, after babbling annoyingly in an effete voice about his life's trivia, Andre finally brings up something of substance - death - and then they both veer off again into the ether. I suppose there's an appeal here to the theater crowd, or the art for art's sake crowd - and I find these things appealing too under the right circumstances (like in some relation to real life) - but otherwise this is a waste of time.

Saved by the acting of Sigourney Weaver and a few others, and addressing the important and under attended issue of misogyny, this is nevertheless, with great irony, used as a showcase for Alycia Debnam-Carey's breasts (impressive though they are). Also, though in reality people act irrationally, the degree to which they do in this MOVIE is ridiculous. Another incomprehensible incongruity is the utter dysfunction of women inhabiting and tending to a place of great beauty. I've seen a lot of weird stuff in my 74 years, but I would say this is impossible.

Biggest letdown ending ever. Excellent film with shining examples of acting from some of the best in the business until the last 15 minutes, which stalled, sputtered and died. I didn't need the killer to be caught, or the detective to be vindicated, I just needed something that added up to something, and wasn't stupid.

One of the best TV series ever through 9 seasons, one of the worst in season 10. All good comedy and drama, however exaggerated, is based on reality. Season 10 sets up one after another of these jokey, abstract, no way in hell anyone would ever do that scenarios that are not only impossible to believe, they're not remotely funny. Just stupid. Man, the producers and writers who did this really are shameless.
