Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for crime-drama fans, action fans and history buffs. If you loved Batman: The Animated Series or Moonlighting, start here.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty, intense.
- The pace
- 4 seasons: a few months of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 114 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Centered around a personally troubled, officially discredited police chief and his inharmonious police team in Ankara Police Force. Even though the show usually focuses on murders and other crimes that happens on a weekly basis, the undertone of the story leads to an eventual duel between Behzat Ç. and the rotten department officials and bureaucrats.
