Weeknight WatchWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone looking to switch off and smile and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Easy company after a long day.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
The story takes place in the small town of Hakkari in Turkey at the beginning of the '70s. The time has come to bring technology to that small town. The first Television (called Visiontele by the citizens) arrives and the chaos begins.
