Cast

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A series that combines drama, romance and action, and ending in a single season of 20 episodes is a big plus for pace. Casting Gürkan Uygun as Şahin Vargı instantly raises expectations of tension. Kerem Bürsin and Leyla Lydia Tuğutlu make a strong pair in the leads. Worth a try if you're curious about the action side, though the pace can drop whenever the love story takes center stage.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Bu Şehir Arkandan Gelecek arrives with Ay Yapım's stamp, a script by Ece Yörenç and Melek Gençoğlu and an ambitious cast. The trio of Kerem Bürsin, Leyla Lydia Tuğutlu and Gürkan Uygun looks very strong on paper, with names like Defne Kayalar and Osman Alkaş in support. But wrapping up in a single season of twenty episodes can leave the feeling that the characters never had enough time to develop. For viewers tired of endless series that is an advantage; for those hoping to see a big story told in full, it feels unfinished. Being broadcast in France and in Portuguese-speaking African countries shows the series traveled far despite its short run.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

This series mixes romance and drama with action, so it is not really one for young children. The tension and action will appeal more to teenagers and adults. The love story may also draw in grown-ups. At just twenty episodes it is short, which helps if you want to finish it quickly. One to watch after the kids have gone to bed.
