Where it the Introspective For the Main Character
Barely Watchable
This is a fairly dumb romantic drama about Leyla, a 30yo lawyer who works for her uncle's firm, and who is torn between different men. Her friends are also her coworkers and everyone' lives revolve around her life's dramatic episodes. She is mostly portrayed getting sad/angry-drunk and bouncing between two main suitors. One of the suitors is a long-term partner and the other is someone she barely knows (and he barely knows her).
A flash forward device is used to preface the story at the beginning of each chapter/episode. The structure and writing is very much like a contemporary telenovela. I mainly watched this because it is set in Turkey and I was nostalgic for a past trip that I took there., and not because of the story.

Mediocre
It's about relationships and human nature.. I can't say it's a special one though.. acting performances are mediocre and scenery is good.. most scenes was predictable but few moments.. Headliner performance is good considering she has her unique style, i believe it's a good match for the character.. filming is also mediocre because there were too many repetetive scenes and repetetive songs.. i don't know why but they play that one song at each party theme. Considering i don't really like that song that it might be pushed me to think that it's boring.. ending was too short for a great finale considering all preparations ,even from the beginning of the show started with the scene from ending, was arranged for it. Anyway it was entertaining.
Fun series that goes nowhere
It's become a series where nothing is concluded, with only flashbacks; the occasional flashback connections weren't properly made. It started as a promising team but ended up being wasted, with no resolution in sight. They tried to make it seem nice with a compliiicated narrative, but they ended up making a very simple series. They did a lot of product placement.they try to look different, but they kept repeating the same things to show they are different . Overall, it was an enjoyable series that was engaging but ultimately a waste of time and went nowhere. Also sex scene (I dont care the sex the shooting)is one of the worst for Turkish tv series They're shooting such scenes just for the sake of shooting them.

A missed opportunity for depth and authenticity
Binge Worthy
This was my first time watching a Turkish show and I binged the entire season in a few days. At first it seems like it's a set up for a cliche enemies-to-lovers romance but this show really surprised me with its depth and nuanced storyline. I found the main character, Leyla, extremely relatable and loved her. Her friend group and co-workers were also relatable for the age group of the characters as were the ups and downs of her relationship with her ex. I'm looking forward to season 2 and watching Leyla become an even stronger and independent woman in her thirties. And hopefully a lot more of Cem too ;) I'm surprised by the low ratings on IMBD but it's doing well on Netflix for a reason. As an American viewer I thoroughly enjoyed this show and highly recommend it!

All flash, no substance...
LOOKING FORWARD FOR SEASON 2
Definitely looking forward for season 2!!! It was such a very fun to series to watch. Very light. Also very funny. I love it because I was just laughing the whole time. Serenay Sarikaya played Avukat Leyla Taylan very well, so different from her old and other characters. A few more suggestions;
We want more Leyla Taylan's story.
We want to see Leyla doing the lawyer job seriously. We want men coming from Leyla's working place. Definitely another lawyer from opposing team that Leyla could explore as well. I love how the story totally revolves with Leyla. Her friends, her family, her job. But like I said, I want to see Leyla more in her lawyering job.

Trash painted as gold. Save your time.
Confusing storyline. Awful ending.
Some pretty places are shown and beautiful people that makes me wanna go to Turkey and see this fantastic land but the writting is so disgusting that makes me wonder who is giving the series a thumbs up.
To be fair...It's not the actors and actresses fault they did the best they could with what was giving but right now I am thankful I watched it at 1.5x after so many repetitive scenes that go nowhere till a very weak ending I managed to not lose so much time. I should have read the reviews before. If you were smarter than me and is now reading this. RUN. Save your time.

Philosophical feminist fluff.
As sexy as a dry flannel
I've noticed a bunch of histrionic 10 ratings. Surely the cast should be banned from rating this show? Nobody else on their right mind would give this a 10. This is terrible. The acting is very poor. The plot as thick as a glass of boiled water. The characters are unlike able. It tries to ooze sex but it can't even deliver that. It's Sex in the City on sleeping tablets. I truly hoped this would be better but it's drivel. Anybody rating this higher than a five is either on illegal stimulants, has dreadful taste, too much time on their hands or related to the director. Don't waste your precious time.

From New York Times newspaper to Thank you next
I was reading New York Times newspaper writer Lulu Garcia Navarro interview with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos
She talked about the series Thank You Next
starring Serenay Sarikaya and said
My latest obsession is a Turkish TV series called Thank You Next
I was like ok let's give a chance
Since I have obsession with romantic comedy But when I watched it I was shocked cuz it's beyond just a fun romantic comedy
It's story line is so deep especially when it comes to episode 6 to 8
It's about nowadays relationship issues and when you watch the series you can easily find signs from your own life
The leading actor carried the show Also the male leadings had great job
The whole team nailed it
Looking forward for season two
I also checked Netflix charts and it was on the charts for three weeks in row now airing
Also I it's a big success for Turkish series
So to anyone who's reading this be sure you can easily watch it.

SERENAY IS SUPER NATURAL ACTRESS
I cannot express into words the love I have for Serenay Sarikaya and her talent, her performance is so natural and genuine. She makes others shine because she illuminates them with her own light. She is not a selfish actress, she let others take their own light. You can see the camaraderie of the casts. It feels like they are all really friends. As to the series, it os definitely worth watching. Everything Serenay touch turns into gold like they said. This is one good project for her. After being Duru Durulay in FiCiPi, shasu in Shahmaran and Devin in Aile, Avukat Leyla Taylan is such light character that I am sure she enjoyed portraying.
A FEEL GOOD SERIES
Okay..just finished #KimlerGeldiKimlerGeçti..a super light, feel good, romantic comedy with a slight drama. If you just want to feel good and de-stress yourself, this is definitely your TVSeries. A little giddiness but in the end, you will root for Leyla to just stay single & leave men behind. Leyla Taylan made me believe that my decision to stay single forever was definitely a yes!!!!!! Leyla Taylan also gave me an idea to have a dog by now. I love her so much and Badi.. Turkish shows are like fashion shows, I love all their stylings, especially Avukat Leyla, very classy, sophisticated and just womanly. Sporty Leyla too.

Harsh criticism! Very successful work!
I think the series was very successful. The locations where the scenes were shot, the styling, the music, the image, the acting were very successful. Serenay is an artist who successfully represents Turkish television globally and should be appreciated much more, she is always brave, bright and pure. Leyla's story took me to places I never expected. Her disappointments touched my heart. As for the criticisms; the series is not disconnected between the past and the future as it is criticised, the whole subject is connected at the end. In this sense, the series is also successful in terms of the script, there are no gaps at the end of the season. Whenever I see a relatively innovative work, I excitedly look at the imdb score and see that it is rated far below what it deserves. Would a production made in a different country be so vilified? I find these criticisms of our own work cruel and I don't think they are objective. I look forward to the second season. Congratulations to the whole team for this beautiful work.

Captivated by Thank You Next!!! A must watch series
Thank You Next" was an absolute delight to watch! From the very first episode, I was completely drawn into the world of Leyla Taylan and her journey. Serenay Sarikaya's portrayal of Leyla was simply mesmerizing; she brought such depth and authenticity to the character that it felt like Leyla was a real person navigating through her challenges and triumphs right before my eyes. The storyline was so gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire series. Each episode was filled with twists and turns that kept me guessing and left me eager for more. And the way the show tackled important themes like justice, morality, and personal growth added an extra layer of depth that made it even more engaging. But what truly made "Thank You Next" stand out for me was the stellar performances from the entire cast. From the main characters to the supporting roles, every actor brought their A-game and truly brought their characters to life. It was clear that everyone involved in the production poured their heart and soul into their work, and it truly paid off. As the credits rolled on the final episode, I found myself feeling a mix of satisfaction and anticipation. I was satisfied with how everything wrapped up, but at the same time, I was already eagerly anticipating the next season. I couldn't wait to see what new challenges Leyla would face and how she would continue to grow and evolve as a character. Overall, "Thank You Next" was a series that captured my heart and kept me thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. It's rare to come across a show that is so well-written, well-acted, and well-executed, but "Thank You Next" managed to check all the boxes for me. I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for their next binge-worthy series.
Fun t catch
Fun and nice romantic comedy after a long tiring and stressful day I needed a little freshness it's supposed to be light..not a great story or depth to have a good time there's something for all tastesit makes me laugh to see the same haters on twitter here with new accounts and zero objectivity to rate 2 just because they are fans of other Turkish actresses and hate serenay..she is a talented actress since a young age. It's not your hatred and harassment on her Instagram and Twitter account that you are going to hurt her. She will continue to work and succeed.. dedication to the person concerned who comes here just to settle these scores like a mafia. Zero objectivity.
A VERY INTERESTING ONE SERIES
The series was simply magnificent. We watched so many relationships in life that there were moments when I cried, laughed and went back to the past. Today's insincere relationships were summarized very well. Relationships that start with love bombing and end with gosthing.
Ömer and Leyla's relationship reminded me of the TV series "First and Son". The perfect beginning of the relationship, its wear and tear over time when we start living in the same house, the introduction of lies, mediocrity and deception, and the effort to continue a relationship that has ended. At first, I believed in the relationship between Ömer and Leyla and the possibility of it getting better when they gave it another chance. I loved this relationship. It means that I still trust men enough to not understand that Ömer is lying :) The reason why I believe in this relationship is It was Leyla's parents who were able to recover and continue where they left off, despite the unpleasant things they experienced. So to speak, "The end of patience is salvation." I thought. Because marriages used to be like this. We don't often see the perfect marriages depicted in movies in real life.
But we know people who have experienced ups and downs, passed through very critical tests, and managed to grow their marriages. I thought Leyla and Ömer might be like this too. That's why I was disappointed that Ömer continued to cheat on Leyla, but it also added realism Because there are many more examples of such relationships today. There are thousands of relationships that make promises to each other and repeat the same behaviors with promises like everything will be different from now on, we are turning a new page, we are changing. As for Cem Murathan, Hakan Kurtas, good thing you are You play this character and you continue to amaze me. Cem was a very contradictory character. We knew him as an arrogant and narcissistic person, but over time we saw his completely different sides. I think we will watch more Leyla and Cem in the second season. Normally such a directory would have In the last episode, we were shown Leyla Ömer's happy ending. Their past, their loyalty, knowing each other for years, etc. For reasons like this, but I'm glad they didn't become clichés because the course of the story made me realize that long-term relationships can also come to an end and not always have a happy ending.
It reminds me that people can change within a relationship and one day they will no longer be able to look at life from the same window (it is debatable how happy the ending of marriage is), and unlike many TV series, it makes me feel like I am watching a real-life story.

LayCem <3
It was sooo nice to watch that i did not stop till the whole series comes to end. Love the laylaCem chemistry. The overall settings of the series was on point and i love the way the portray the scenes. Layla's acting was so natural. At first, i was not really that interested when comes to Sheyazzz then when more characters came in, it just hit right. Everything was so surprising till the last minute. Even though its a romcom genre, there were full of surprise elements and making us curious what happens next. Totally recommended for a netflix and chill kinda a night. Can finish the whole series in a day. Looking forward for season 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Serenays- Leyla Tailan
Perfect, Very good plot and amazing cast. Genre comedy romance. The life of a modern, professionally developed woman. Serenay Sarikaya performance, visuals, style - the best. This girl is very talented and different type of actress. A very passionate couple, Jem and Leyla, have amazing chemistry. Very light and at the same time sad story. Leila's dog Buddy is also the most beloved, their relationship is a separate film. I watched 8 series so much that I didn't even feel the passage of time ,I recommend it, really interesting, very atmospheric, with beautiful views, very nice guys, and a dominant and strong female lawyer - Leyla Thailan.

Leyla taylan is such legendary caharacter
Amazing' please watch. Absolutely brilliant
Frist time i have seen a female character not being a push over and not cringe or over acting or clumsy! Like she is strong independent woman who doesn't indulge in self pitying but fight for what she believes in and never gives up! I think the best romcom female character i have come across ever. Absolutely stunning performance from serenay sarikaya. She is best turkish actress and always do different character.
A well-written script and a lot of emotions. Awesome story and cast. I am totally in loved with this series.
Honestly the best turkish romances l've ever watched .

BEAUTIFUL AND DEEP
Beautiful Turkish stars and scenery! The production is top-notch and the flow is very interesting. Although it's a light show, it has deep meanings that everyone can relate to, whether in terms of life or romantic partnerships. What I loved the most about the show was "Buddy" the dog - so cute! They portrayed the lovely relationship between a
dog owners and their pet, which is just as strong as the relationship between a parent and child. All new generation terminology this show touch based on like "ghosting", "love bombing" makes it very real for today's world. Unfortunately the years go by everything becomes more complicated. It gives you something to think about it. Final note: it's just worth to watch Serenay Sarikaya non-stop for 8 episodes! When is the next season?
