vivdunstan: Test card (television)
Continuing my watch of Turkish fantasy series The Protector, I finished season 1 last night. It ran for 4 years, so I have lots of episodes still to watch. Last night, though, for the last 3 episodes of the first year I switched to the original Turkish dialogue with English subtitles. This comes across vastly better acting wise than the English dubbed version I’d heard in earlier episodes. Season 1 ends on a cliffhanger, and I’m curious to see what happens next. They’ve also upped the jeopardy stakes considerably.

Have 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.
