Terzi (2023)
Everything I expected, and more!
Perfect from start to finish, captivating and a roller-coaster of emotions, the show offers psychological drama, suspense and romance in a high quality mixture.
The contrast between Turkish traditions and modernity is really interesting and well combined, and the show is visually really attractive.
Çagatay Ulusoy's performance as Peyami deserves a special paragraph. Peyami's elegance, glamour, finesse and outer calm contrasts with his inner emotional storm and childhood trauma, and this is incredibly portrayed by Çagatay's exquisite body language.
Sit down and watch it right now! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
Yesilçam (2021)
A wonderful trip to the Turkish 60's
A great series to have a glimpse of a time in which I haven't lived, and a place where the Turkish showbiz mixed with power, ambition, and Turkish politics during fights between Turkey and Greece over Cyprus.
Cagatay Ulusoy is AWESOME in the role of broke cinema maker Semih Ates!!! He is a magician who pulls wonderfully created characters out of his hat, just as Semih is a magician in love with the art of cinema who pulls trick after trick out of his hat to survive in a hostile environment and help other survive... literally!
Plus, the direction, vintage reenactment, cast and music are excellent!
Once again, Cagatay shows us what a fine actor he is and what a keen sense he has to choose work projects and manage his career. You have a great future ahead, my dear Cagatay!
All I can add is... I cannot wait to watch season 2!!

Kagittan Hayatlar (2021)
MASTERPIECE!!
All I can say is.... this movie is a masterpiece!! Breathtaking from the first to the last scene!
Talent is wherever you watch, from Çagatay to the last actor (Gonzi is such a wonderful character!), from the direction to the setting, the music that sticks to your ears... everything is PERFECT!!!
A special paragraph for Çagatay's performance: absolutely moving, awesome, unique! He is such a wonderful actor, that he competes against himself in every new project! And this time, he's even played a role behind the camera! My dear Çagatay, you've certainly outdone yourself! Aferin sana!
TWO THUMBS UP!!!
Medcezir (2013)
The sweetest love story I've ever seen
How can the old "rich girl/poor boy" love story cliche turn into something original? If you want to find an answer to this question, watch Medcezir! WARNING: you'll become addicted!
It is a love story, but also a story about having a second chance in life, such second chance sometimes being taken and appreciated by some characters, and sometimes being wasted by others. There's personal and family drama, but also action and suspense.
The performances deserve another paragraph. I watched Çagatay Ulusoy for the fist time as Yaman Koper, and I became a fan. His performance is SIMPLY AMAZING! The expression in his eyes and his gestures and body language are wonderful! And his female partner, Serenay Sarikaya (Mira Beylice) is also great. They reached a unique chemistry, even in quarrelling scenes, let alone in love scenes!! Other performances are excellent too: Hazar Ergüçlü (Eylül), Taner Ölmez (Mert), Metin Akdülger (Orkun).
The plot is wonderful, with flashbacks used to complete what may seem gaps in the story, and the locations are beautiful.
If you haven't watched it yet, do it now!

Içerde (2016)
Içerde... Nothing is what it seems
Inspired in Martin Scorsese's The Departed, Içerde tells us a completely different story. The starting point is the old cat-and-mouse chase, the policeman spying on the mafia and the mafia spying on the police. However, the result is completely different. The plot is great: it could be said that the personal and family story feeds the police story and vice versa. There's a lot of suspense and twists right from the first episode.
The filming is very good and the performances are great, wonderfully headed by Çagatay Ulusoy (Sarp). Other performances are also very good, such as Aras Bulut Iynemli (Mert), Çetin Tekindor (Celal Baba) and Riza Kocaoglu (Davut).
To sum up, you can't miss it! 100% addictive!

Hakan: Muhafiz (2018)
Here comes Hakan... fasten your seat belts!!
The first Turkish Netflix series has certainly measured up to my expectations. It's addictive! I've already watched the whole 10-episode first season in one day! And I'm so looking forward to the second season!
Wonderful performances by Çagatay Ulusoy (Hakan), Hazar Ergüçlü (Zeinep) and Okan Yalabik (Faysal) and Istanbul is another protagonist. Two thumbs up!
