Turkish TV series "Karaday" - is the embodiment of unrealized potential interesting idea. The project is positioning itself as a crime drama develops in several time planes, but pretty soon the narrative slips into a typical melodrama, in which the characters can not decide whom to love and where to go with your feelings.

Heroes are

Action "Karada" takes place in the seventies of the last century in a remote area of ​​Istanbul, where people are more protected than the state, and they are. Family Mahir Kara (Kenan İmirzalıoğlu) is respected by neighbors, his father Nazif (Cetin Tekindor) lends money to those who ask for help, and punishes those who bear the damage to their community. He has a son in accordance with their notions of honor and dignity.

Mahir is preparing for engagement to childhood friend, however, on the eve of the joyful event of his father goes to prison for murder. By law, if convicted, sent to the penalty. Family Nazira realizes that the charges are false, Mahir decided to give up and look for the trail of the killers to justify his father, but this is only the first victim of those that he will bring in the way of the truth. He will go a long way to meet friends and enemies, and to love the girl that belongs to the family, destroy the reputation and future of his father.

One against all

The plot of "Karada" is fairly simple and straightforward: there is a hero, there is a problem, he has to decide, there are obstacles that he must overcome, and the choices you need to make. Developments predictable and is given at the outset, when the director seizing Bayraktar does digression allows us to see the maturing of the main character and understand the strength of his feelings for his father, a desperate desire to imitate and gain approval.

A world in which he lives Mahir Kara, is far from perfect, there people in broad daylight attack other people, but no one can rely on the protection of the state. From childhood he was accustomed to defend their interests and to maintain the established order, so charged with the murder of his father he perceives as a direct threat to the entire family, interference in the affairs of the community, and acts accordingly.

The role went to actor Mahir Kenan Imirzalyoglu, and this determined the half success of the series. Kenan İmirzalıoğlu actor with experience on-screen incarnation of heroes, courageous, moderate, configured to fight to the last drop of blood. Its mission - to deter enemies at a glance, so the director does not require him even the slightest effort of getting used to the role. Mahir resembles stone idol who does not know how to move in the world with fragile people he might accidentally hurt and hurt, but this is the internal energy sets the tone for the action before so powerful enemies scatter to the sides, and the main character walks briskly down the plot, carrying on the shoulders of good and justice, which he can only "cause" rather than install.

The series also stars: Bergüzar Korel, Cetin Tekindor, Yurdaer Okurb Ercan Avtsi, Sebnem Dilligil Leela Gyurme Denise September Hamzaoglu and others.

No love, no shootings

Directed by "Karada" Seizing Bayraktar ("The End", "Ezel") definitely had the ambition to not remove the melodrama and crime thriller. His filmography has found similar attempts to combine genres, however, the script Eylem Dzhanpolat and Sema Ergenekon did not expect such creative assumptions, it focuses on internal struggles and experiences of the hero.

Instead, viewers get a hero stone statue that would looked great with a gun and a motorcycle next to Sarah Connor, and certainly not in the Turkish suburb. When Kenan İmirzalıoğlu and plays some internal struggles and experiences, it apparently is not affected in any way. Female characters can not show this emotional melt the ice, even in the presence of his on-screen lover, played in the series Bergüzar Korel, Mahir is an impregnable fortress. The only interesting element - Cetin Tekindor as Nazir, embodied the person who has to bear the burden of making someone become something akin to the "father of the community." Relationship Nazir and Mahir - one of the most interesting lines of the series.

In the first season of the series, released in 2012, there are 50 episodes. Currently, Turkey is the second season of the show.
