The first three seasons were quite good but after that it became a challenge to watch. Ender has never grown as a character. She flip flops all the time, vacillating between being Yildaz's friend and enemy. Nobody respects or feels invested in such an unstable character who doesn't know what a sincere friendship is. The writers have repeatedly pitted Ender against Yildaz even while they're friends, the writers of the show suddenly turn them into enemies. It would have been OK if this had happened one time but it has happened repeatedly and makes no sense at all. Additionally, I'm not sure what genre this is because sometimes it seems like they're trying to make it a comedy (but the humour is flat and juvenile) and other times they try to present it as a drama. It fails to be effective in either genre. Another thing that detracts from enjoyment is the lazy writing. End of season scenes which are meant to be a cliffhanger, intended to draw viewers back to each new season, are completely ignored and new seasons start without addressing the unresolved cliffhanger or, they briefly brush over it with a bit of dialogue. Yildaz and Ender who are the main characters have remained flat characters who lack depth and substance. They have not evolved since the beginning of the series. Yildaz has remained ditzy and superficial and Ender has remained duplicitous, morally bankrupt and emotionally inept. Seriously, just how many times can Ender steal Yildaz's husbands!?? If the writers of the show want viewers to enjoy your storytelling, they should create characters who have more depth and who evolve. Most viewers don't become invested in consistently fickle characters. Seriously, how many times have the writers used Ender to blindside Yildaz in the midst of their friendship!?? It just becomes tedious to watch! After watching the same tired plot every season, I have come to appreciate other Turkish shows that know when to bow out gracefully instead of recycling the same old plot. It's just boring and I'm over it! It actually should have ended three seasons ago.
