- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 220 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Ceylin is a fierce, rule-bending defence attorney whose father was wrongly imprisoned — for her, justice always comes before the law. Ilgaz is a by-the-book prosecutor who believes the two are the same thing. When his brother is accused of murder, he has no choice but to go to her for help. What follows is a gripping cat-and-mouse legal thriller built on brilliant opposing chemistry — winner of the International Emmy for Best Telenovela in 2023.
