It is no longer a Turkish series. Not another fiction about the bond between mother and daughter. Not a trivial thriller. It is categorically not valuable, but it is worth seeing. Among other things why Who are we running from, mom? It looks like almost nothing else found in the Netflix catalog. And it’s good.
Made in Türkiye, It doesn’t even feel like a distant cousin to the soap operas that have taken the Telefe screen by stormor from other Turkish series of the stream. He has his own aesthetic and dynamic and perspective when it comes to telling a story he has the police as a stepping stone, but navigate the waters of various genres from there. And, oh surprise, Istanbul doesn’t appear as commonplace in narrative settings.
Premiered at Netflix Friday 24 March, a few days later was positioned among the five most watched series in Argentina and much of the world.
Based on the novel by writer Perihan Magden published in 2007, and which opened the debate on the place of women in Turkey, stars Melissa Sozen in the role of the mother ee Tomb of Eylulthe daughter, with a delightful name Bambi in this fiction of seven episodes.
Even if the chapters last between 47 and 35 minutes, if you have the time and desire It’s a marathon one, because every curtain that falls makes you want more. Wanting to know what will become of those two central characters and wanting to know what happened to their dark past.
The starting point is the path taken by a mother and her daughter, heading towards high-class hotels, in which they spend a fortune whose origin is unknown. It is known that they ran away. It is not known who, although by their actions they all seem to be suspects. The mother is moved, among other things, by distrust. and overprotection.
But while no one finds them – in each episode more and more people are looking for them – and as they go away to record In to record, the viewer tries to reconstruct the past of this woman for whom life has not been easy. And now he loads it beautifully. Go from victim to perpetrator with a lot of agility in the plot.
The hook that invites you to the marathon is that with each step you leave your mark and, occasionally, a corpse. What leads her to this and from what or who she runs away from, as her daughter tries to find out in the title of the series, is what the thriller label stands for.
But, in between, The bond takes shape, the loving, the treacherous, the loyal and the oppressive that a maternal bond can sometimes be. And the protagonist is seen from both sides of the counter, aware that she does not want to be like the mother she had, but the shadows of the past cloud his gaze.
Without the famous postcards of Istanbul that Turkish fictions usually give away, here one delights in the landscapes of Antalya or the magical region of Cappadocia. And with the excellent performances of Melisa Sözen and the young Eylül Tumbarin his screen debut.
If it wasn’t for the improbability of some scenes (always going to catch them, with mega police ops through, and they always seem to be Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl), the series could scratch the very good. But the label Well Looks good on you. Good and different.
