Valley of the Wolves: Ambush (Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu)

TV Series · 2007–2016 · 92 people

Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu (“Valley of the Wolves: Ambush”) is an action, drama and political thriller series from Pana Film. It continues the Kurtlar Vadisi universe created by Osman Sınav, after the first series (2003, 97 episodes) and Kurtlar Vadisi Terör, cut off after two episodes in 2007. Pusu started on Show TV on April 19, 2007, ran for ten seasons and ended with its 300th episode on June 16, 2016. Dealing with the mafia and the deep state, it was also shown in Serbia on Happy TV from 2014 to 2017.

The story centers on Polat Alemdar, played by Necati Şaşmaz, who runs secret missions against groups infiltrating the state and against criminal organizations. The large ensemble includes Erdoğan Aydemir (Sencer), Namık Kemal Yiğittürk (Baba Memduh), İpek Tenolcay (Nesrin Çakır) and Sarp Akkaya (Servet). The plot reaches into Middle Eastern problems, and the franchise widened through two feature films, set in Iraq and Palestine.

Its broadcast history was restless. Show TV carried the first three seasons, and the fourth moved to Star TV for financial reasons. Clashes with Thursday UEFA Europa League matches ended that deal, so season five went to atv and six to TNT. When TNT closed, seasons seven and eight returned to atv, and Kanal D showed the last two. Episodes aired on Thursdays.

Titles sharing this cast

Through different eyes

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

Secret missions, the mafia, the deep state: if you want pace and tension, this is exactly Polat Alemdar's world. Necati Şaşmaz's Polat runs operations against groups infiltrating the state and against criminal organizations. With 300 episodes over ten seasons, there is a lot of room for escalating showdowns. The two feature films, set in Iraq and Palestine, show how far the universe stretched. The only problem is that in a show this long, some episodes may slide into scheming talk.

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

Three hundred episodes, ten seasons and a migration from channel to channel: the first three seasons on Show TV, the fourth on Star TV, then atv, TNT, atv again and Kanal D for the last two. For the viewer who followed it on Thursday nights, even that scatter became part of the story. Polat Alemdar's line is fed by a big ensemble, from Sencer to Baba Memduh. The weak spot: so many changes of broadcaster may have broken the rhythm, and over the long road episodes start resembling one another. Still, lasting through 300 episodes is nothing to sneeze at.

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

Mafia, the deep state and secret operations: this show is not for children. It leans on action and tension, so expect confrontation scenes, and the subjects are heavy. It is for teenagers and adults, preferably with a parent aware of the choice. It is not for an evening table with grandparents and little ones; it is the kind of show you put on once the kids are in bed.
