This series is very involving, and very interesting because it shows you things about Turkish life that you might not know. It is very complicated and very moving. The principal themes are the relationships between siblings and the struggle of good versus evil. The characters are fully human, with none of them completely good nor completely evil. There are a few unbelievable things, but on the whole, it is easy to overlook them because the rest of the story is so strong. I highly recommend it for people who love crime stories, romance and characters who grow and change.
