Promise (Söz) (translated)

TV Series · 2017 · 25 people

Military, action, adventure and war storytelling come together in the Turkish television drama Söz (The Pact). Produced by Tims&B Productions, it first aired on Star TV on April 3, 2017, and ran for three seasons, ending with its 84th episode on May 27, 2019. The weight of a promise, comradeship between soldiers and sacrifice for the homeland are its central themes.

The story centers on Yavuz Karasu (Tolga Sarıtaş), a well-trained young soldier who loses his fiancée in a terrorist attack in Istanbul. Dr. Bahar (Aybüke Pusat), who tried to save the wounded at the scene, crosses his path; Yavuz returns to his hometown of Karabayır, and Bahar follows him to hand over something that belongs to him. A new incident there makes Yavuz the commander of a special team charged with hunting down the threats to Karabayır and to the country. While the team members risk their lives on missions, the families, losses and personal costs they leave behind are an important part of the story, and action scenes run alongside emotional storytelling.

Yağız Alp Akaydın directed, and Ethem Özışık, Hakan Bonomo and Ercan Uğur wrote the screenplay together. Tolga Sarıtaş, Serhat Kılıç and Burak Sevinç are in the cast from the first season; Mehmet Özgür joins in the second and Deniz Baysal in the third.

Through different eyes

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

Special team, missions, threats: Söz is a full military action series. The story begins when Yavuz Karasu loses his fiancée in an attack and becomes commander of a special team. The operation scenes and the comradeship keep up the pace. However, the emotional parts can slow the action at times; when families and losses are told, the tension may drop. 84 episodes is a long road, and you may need to watch selectively. But for anyone who likes fighting and suspense, it is a strong choice.

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

Three seasons and 84 episodes is not an easy load for a military drama to carry. The story built around Yavuz's command, Dr. Bahar's entry into the plot and the team's comradeship gives you characters to attach to. Mehmet Özgür joining in the second season and Deniz Baysal in the third refreshes the cast. The families the team leave behind are as important to the story as the missions themselves, and that balance makes the show gripping. To be honest, in so long a series the mission-and-emotion formula can repeat itself at times. Still, it is a series with a solid world.

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

Söz is a series about soldiering, war and sacrifice. It begins with a terrorist attack and has mission scenes, so it can be heavy for small children. For teenagers and adults, it is a show about love of country, friendship and a promise kept. The telling of families and losses is emotional. It can be watched with grown-ups, but stay beside the little ones if they watch. The violent scenes call for care with age limits.
