The first 10 episodes were a masterpiece. Then it started getting more and more clichéd with bright colors disappearing and characters becoming either plain stupid (women) or utterly selfish (men). In the end, it's just bang bang bang and tough guys' jokes like "Is everyone dead yet? Dude, I'm not even tired". I was so puzzled by this sudden change of style that I even did some research to find out the reason. Apparently, the team of screenwriters changed four times with Murat Uyurkulak leaving after the 12th episode, and Berrin Tekdemir joining after episode 15, which has to mean that the show pretty much hung on Uyurkulak's writing, though it's just a hypothesis of mine.
Anyways, as I have already said, the first ten episodes were, as Kartal put it, "kaymak" (the Turkish for very thick cream). It was a very well-written crime mystery set in an authentic gypsy neighborhood with folk music, rhinestones, leopard coats, dancing bears, and ruminations upon racial pride. It's a shame they stripped the show of what was so special about it, making it a mainstream revenge shooter we've seen so many times before.
