    The series is about a homicide detective, the people around him and his mental state.This series is very well executed, all questions get answers. There are even a few plot twists that I didn't see coming. The characters are believable, and they are acted skillfully. It captures the social conflicts in Turkey well. The murder cases are usually interesting. It is one of the best shows I've ever watched, a list that includes many expensive Hollywood productions. It was actually very surprising that I'd like a show from Turkey this much.There are a few negative points however, for which people who consider watching this should prepare themselves. First, there is a lot of swearing. This is made worse by the censorship enforced by Turkish TV. All the swearing is bleeped out, so sometimes it feels like you are listening to a voice-over by R2D2. Some visual elements are censored as well, such as alcoholic drinks later in the show. As the last point, English subtitles are not very well translated. You'll get the point, but sometimes how something is said is important to capture the depth of the scene, which is typically lost.All in all, I'd recommend this to anyone who are interested in a police drama.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. When I have reached the final episode it will feel as though I am saying farewell to friends. This is an incredibly written, directed, and acted series. It is so realistic in many instances, to me, who knew very little of Turkish culture. I have learned so much having watched this series through 78 episodes. The characters are so dynamic, unpredictable, funny, loyal, and likable despite their flaws. I particularly enjoyed Episode 78 due to how incredibly honest it was. Vulture painfully recalling why the woman he had loved for so long committed the murders she did and Behzat admitting that Sule is his daughter. How many times have we sat with friends, drinking, recalling past stories that have made our lives what they are? I felt as if I was sitting with Behzat, Harun,Vulture, Ghost, and Cevdet sharing their pain , yet on the outside,able to laugh at their expressions and antics. I will miss you, Homicide Bureau and all those characters who have made this a remarkable series. I have come to the end of this incredible series that has captured my attention and heart through 96 episodes. To me, the finest police drama I have seen to date. Thank you, Behzat and all the members of your world.

    Sincerity, Mystery, Drama, Comedy, Ankara, Detective. More than one array, separate. Are you going to another world. unusual for a Turkish series will capture your soul. The characters are all like one of us. They are not made up nor irrational. And this novel based show, is the best of it's genre in Turkey by far. The leading role is quite charismatic, reckless, smart and good-hearted character but he's still perfectly natural. he doesn't use unrealistically expensive phones, he doesn't wear different clothes in each scene. They focus on the story which consists of crime scenes with secrets and enigmas in Behzat C's psychological situation and history.

The series enjoyed a widespread popularity especially among the Turkish youth because of its realistic dialogs (also including the use of slang) showing the injustices and controversies in juridical system and law enforcement agency. Stories also touch upon some political discussions and criticize chauvinism.
