TMC Film produced the Turkish television series Tatar Ramazan, which began on atv on April 26, 2013. Working in a drama and action vein, it builds its period atmosphere around one man's search for justice. The show ran for two seasons and signed off with its 26th episode, broadcast on January 26, 2014.

The story starts from the love of Süreyya and Ramazan, which is left unfinished when Ramazan is accused of a murder; the paths of the two lovers cross again as events unfold. Bülent İnal plays Ramazan. In the second season Burcu Kara and Özge Özpirinçci joined the main cast, while Osman Soykut later left the show. In that season Ramazan's son is abducted by a large mafia network with ties to senior officials, and Ramazan keeps up his fight for rights and justice.

The story draws on a novel published in 1969 and is set in the years after the Second World War. Ramazan is portrayed as a blacksmith in his town who does not back down in the face of injustice.

Through different eyes

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

A blacksmith who won't bow to injustice, plus a murder accusation: the tension is built in from the start. Bülent İnal carries Ramazan's tough but honest stance really well. In the second season, when his son is abducted by a big mafia network with friends in high places, the pace kicks up even more. The drama gets heavy at times, but the fight for justice keeps the show alive throughout.

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

The unfinished love between Süreyya and Ramazan is the heart of the show. Watching the paths of two lovers torn apart by a murder accusation cross again makes the first season gripping. In season two, with Burcu Kara and Özge Özpirinçci joining the main cast and Osman Soykut later leaving, the balance shifts; once the mafia plot takes over, the period texture slips into the background. At 26 episodes in total it is on the short side, and some supporting characters reach the end before they ever fully develop. Still, Bülent İnal's strong performance holds up even the weaker moments.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Drawn from a novel published in 1969 and set in the years after the Second World War, this story gives us Ramazan, a town blacksmith who will not bow to injustice and who recalls the upright, honest heroes of our old films. Bülent İnal's performance is dignified and heartfelt, and it is a pleasure to see an experienced actress like Nur Sürer in the cast. Once the second season brings in mafia networks and high-level connections, however, that simple tale of justice slides into the noisy molds of today's television. Those who love a period atmosphere will cherish the first season more.
