I didn't watch Dr foster (the initial concept which the series is based on)because I don't like this kind of dramas. I started watching Turkish version by chance and because i didn't have anything else to watch that time. But it was great at first!!actors were great and most of the dialogues so natural! You feel as the story is happening to a friend of yours! And the way they act is so real!also much food for thought is given concerning toxic relationships and how important is to avoid them!
But unfortunately second season was a disaster the series become a poor soap opera...Everything is being repeated and Aras is presented as another Volkan what a stupid decision from the direction!!!Asya is NOT a strong woman as she can't move on,love and be loved or get married again. Moreover it becomes tiring to watch again and again Volcan ruining other peoples lives and nobody is able to react. This is not real and strong characters are not like this at all. Everyone acts as a victim and this is sooo boring and this is not a good example. We need strong heroes with strong personalities to make us feel better not people acting as pawns all the time
Finally I think that the directors had two options only either to follow Dr Foster's initial scenario or make a new one much better with a happy ending in Asya's life with another healthy marriage. This would satisfy the audience and give the sense not only of excitement but also the idea that life has also a good aspect!!Neither of them happens unfortunately,the end concerning Asya is completely indifferent. Asya should have been married to Aras,that's the point!
I think Turkish actors are great but the plot writers are not able to give them the chance to show their talent
Asya Derin Volcan Gonul(excellent at the role of a mother who really loves her family)congratulations for your acting I hope to watch you in other better shows one day!
