Leyla and Mecnun (2011–2014)

Series is highly anticipated by an audience who is active in the Internet and social media with relatively "sophisticated" taste. The audience is highly active in social media (especially eksisozluk.com users) try to find the references which are in given in a very high range. From Oz to House, Lost, Godfather, Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind, modern Turkish literature there are lots of references or 80's or 90's popular culture references. The show became very popular and "cult" in a short period of time.

Series are not in the high ranks of rating lists however fans of the show support in every possible way to promote, Monday evening in twitter hashtag with the name of the show becomes trending topic. Director Onur Ünlü definitely has a distinguished taste and you can easily recognise his style and vision. Script writer Burak Aksak has a absurd comedy sense with dialogues in a situational comedy sense which is not something Turkish shows witness.

Most of the actors have theater school background and the show gives them to develop their characters easily and gives more than enough room for improvisations. They perform utterly sensational and the audience feel they love the work the cast performing. Especially Ali Atay, Ahmet Mumtaz Taylan, Serkan Keskin, Osman Sonant, Koksal Engur and Cengiz Bozkurt's performances are top notch. Yet length of the show is too long which sometimes has negative effect over the tempo. Too much references sometimes could be tiring.


Although a substantial portion of the show is aiming Turkish watchers there are very good parts which can be easily understood and laughed by a "foreigner". This is a "must see" show with high taste.

The best series which I have ever seen

This series is awesome, it looks as if it is a nonsensical story, yes right but the point of awesomeness is that. You laughs and even you do not search a realistic event, as this movie does not let you run after realism. However it doesn't mean that it is stupidly, on the contrary understanding the witty humors is required an intelligence. The first time when I heard the concept of this series, I thought how can people watch it, it is stupidly, because there is a wise old man in a dream of mecnun and he tells him the numbers of lotto, then the old man realizes that this is not right guy who I should tell the numbers, he doesn't search a lottery numbers so how can I help this guy, then he understands that the aim of this guy is reaching his lovely, whose name is Leyla, and he needs help. After this dream, the old man exists in real life. But after I watched the first episode, even I didn't think how an old man comes to real life from a dream.

In a second you feel sad after a second you laugh

I didn't watch A Turkish TV serial which is that much fun and dramatic at the same time. The jokes are very high on level and they are very absurd. But the emotional scenes just crash your mind and suddenly you realize how the life is. But in a second while you are realizing you begin smiling because of the jokes. That is the big difference of this love story serial 'Leyla and Mecnun'. Thanks a lot for your hard-work to all of the Leyla and Mecnun cast. And the actors and actresses are very talented. I don't know how do they do that but they are acting very well they are playing instruments well. For example the lead actor Ali Atay sings the soundtracks of the series at the same time he composes some of them. I love them all.

The best TV series in Turkey

Leyla and Mecnun is the best TV series ever, in Turkey. They make absurd comedy, that's hard to achieve. All the characters have different skills and it's very enjoyable to watch them. Although this is a comedy series, sometimes it can make people cry, just after laughing, due to it's concept and skillful cast. Leyla and Mecnun created a new type of comedy in Turkey. They still lead the concept and other series try to create similar performances. Leyla and Mecnun deserves a good cinema film with their high performance and it's no doubt, the film will be watched by large numbers of people in cinemas. The worst thing about the series was the leave of Ezgi Asaroğlu. She was the first "Leyla" and the series was much better with her.
