I watched the English dub of this show, but I can't imagine the Turks do it any justice. I am not speaking on behalf of the original Turkish version, because I haven't watched it, nor do I plan on watching it after sitting through two episodes of this show. Because the English version, at least, is awful. No, scratch that -- it's GOD awful. It seems that all of the charm and lore that may have been present in the Turkish version was somehow lost in translation. With all due respect to these actors, they cannot act to save their lives. It seems that whoever was the director for the English dub had no idea what they were doing with this material and just sped through the recording sessions. The voice acting is abysmal, some of the worst I've ever heard. The whole cast sounds so bored and uninterested, as though they're just reading a script over the show. No emotion, no inflection. Flat. Stiff. Maddeningly monotonous and dull. Like the actors are being held at gunpoint. The bottom-of-the-barrel voice acting of the English dub turns an already slow, bland, cliché plotline into a downright unwatchable series. I could not sit through more than two episodes of this trite trash. As soon as the credits rolled on episode 2, I checked out. Grabbing that remote and pressing EXIT has never felt so satisfying until I witnessed the sheer awfulness of "Who Were We Running From?". My recommendation: give the original Turkish version (with subtitles) a shot if you're really that curious. I haven't seen this version for myself, and probably never will, so proceed with caution. Don't EVER watch the English dubbed version. A dog could do better voice acting. I wouldn't wish the English version on anybody. Avoid at all costs.
