This is by far the best Turkish series I've watched & the best I've ever watched, Hollywood included. Hollywood can learn from the Turkish industry. This series got me searching for more Turkish tv/movies. Not only is the true story heartrendingly beautiful but you could never guess as to what was going to happen next & it keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Brilliantly written; best acting I've ever seen. I was so drawn into this series I couldn't stop thinking about it for months. Told all my friends & got them hooked too.
