Bir Baskadir

Review by: Benjamin Lutz

The short:

The Netflix Turkish-language original drama series follows the story of Meryem, a part-time cleaner from a conservative Turkish family, who begins to see a therapist after suffering repeat fainting spells.

The long:

Psychiatrist Peri is positioned at the opposite of Turkey's divided society - a foreign-educated "white Turk" from a secular, wealthy family. The series goes on to introduce a diverse array of characters spanning the breadth of Turkish society, all somehow connected to Meryem.

To watch or not to watch:

To watch! It is a really powerful show and excellent for practicing your Turkish language skills.
