Kuzey Rüzgarı (Northern Wind) is a Turkish action, romance and mafia series that aired on Show TV from September 3, 2007, to January 28, 2008. Mustafa Şevki Doğan directed it, and the producer is given as Duka Film. It ran one season and ended with its 20th episode.

Kadir İnanır plays Kuzey Taşova, known as Ekber. Thirty-four years earlier he worked with Necdet Aksu, and when he realizes Aksu has built an organization that harms the country's interests, he turns against it. Necdet sentences him to death and, through a plot, makes him a fugitive wanted on a red notice. Ekber flees to Russia, is caught there and spends thirty-four years in Russian prisons. When he comes home Necdet is dead, and his brother Cahit (Ali İpin), a far more dangerous man, now runs the empire. Ekber is joined by Poyraz (Oktay Kaynarca), the son of his brother Mehmet, whom Necdet had killed. As a baby, Poyraz was handed by Necdet's wife Saadet to Ekber's friend Kanun Şevki, who raised him.

The cast also includes Selçuk Yöntem (Aziz Delikara), Ebru Cündübeyoğlu (Mukadder), Ebru Kocaağa, Çağla Kubat, Kürşat Alnıaçık, Turgay Tanülkü, Toprak Sağlam (Oya) and Sedat Mert (Inspector Sedat).

Through different eyes

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

Mafia, a manhunt, thirty-four years in Russian prisons: on paper an idea full of movement. But with so many hidden family ties and old scores, there is a danger that intrigue outweighs speed. For someone expecting fast action it could be a long road. For fans of mafia series, a familiar but gripping set-up.

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

Kadir İnanır's Ekber returning home after years to find Necdet's brother Cahit in charge is a good opening that mixes melodrama and action. Revenge and hidden kinship stretched over decades is plenty of material for a series. I worry that carrying so many events and secret ties in twenty episodes hurries some parts and sends others into repetition. Still, it gives the taste of a self-contained, one-season story in its own genre.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The series starts from the price of standing against an organization that harms the country's interests. A man returning after thirty-four years to a world where others have taken the place of those who condemned him prompts thought about how fragile the sense of justice and shared memory can be. The series handles these themes mostly in the language of melodrama, so deep social analysis should not be expected. Still, as a popular story where power, loyalty and family ties are knotted together, it is worth a look.
