Worst of all, the melodrama appears to empathize with, if not fully rationalize, the actions of the world’s most self-absorbed nincompoop. Go to Full Review

As nicely shot and acted as Museum Of Innocence is, the story isn’t fleshed out enough to give us a real idea of what drew its main characters together, besides it just being a taboo pairing. Go to Full Review

Atilla @Treviewd1nce 3d I recommend English subtitles over voice-over. Of course, in Turkish is the best with most depth in meaning. As is the Quran in Arabic most beautiful. See more Ali @Ali_EmJay 3d As a fan of the novel and of Orhan Pamuk, I’m disappointed with the series so far (three episodes in). The book is profoundly layered and postmodern, and while adaptation always requires compression, the show feels rushed and emotionally shallow. Major developments unfold too quickly, especially in the first episode, making the central romance feel unconvincing. Kemal’s slow, obsessive intensity — the psychological core of the novel — is reduced to a conventional love story. The casting (particularly Füsun) feels misaligned, and the direction does little to deepen the characterization. Most importantly, the series fails to capture the pervasive melancholy — the sense of hüzün — that defines not only the love affair but Istanbul itself. The city becomes a backdrop rather than a living presence. As a standalone Netflix drama, it’s tolerable. As an adaptation of Pamuk, it falls short. See more ilam i @Kakaoppp 3d Almost as good as the book I read. Great acting, the director done a great job. If you read the book must watch. See more Read all reviews
