Through different eyes

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

An adaptation of Doctor Foster, Sadakatsiz builds the tension that starts with Asya discovering her husband's betrayal very well in its first season. Cansu Dere gives a strong performance that carries Asya's anger and her intelligence at the same time; the friction between her and Caner Cindoruk is palpable in every scene. Melis Sezen, as Derin, is a presence that shifts the balance. The problem starts in season two: the writing team changes and the story turns to conflicts that repeat themselves. Sixty episodes is too long for this story.

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

This is not a series to watch with the kids. It's about infidelity, family quarrels and a fight to strike back, and the scenes are quite tense. Not suitable for young children; teens are better off with an adult around. A gripping drama for grown-ups, but best not put on the shared TV when the whole household is sitting there.

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

Don't expect action in the classic sense, but it works as a psychological thriller. Every move Asya makes after learning of the betrayal makes you want the next episode. The long, repetitive argument scenes, though, are the pace's worst enemy; sometimes it feels like watching the same fight for the third time. Season one is pure tension; after that it gets more tiring.
