Current watching: The Protector
Jul. 9th, 2023 06:07 amHave belatedly started watching this Turkish Netflix Original series. Which almost feels like a cross between Buffy and Moon Knight. There’s even a costume he puts on to become a superhero. Being dubbed it’s hard to judge the acting reliably, but it seems ropey in places. And it feels like the makers are running through a check list of key Istanbul sites and Turkish tropes to show on screen. But I am currently intrigued. It helps that the episodes are short. The series has ended now, but ran for 4 seasons, so there’s a good chunk of episodes to watch. I am currently working through the first year.
