Normally, I like to keep my hands busy while I watch tv, but with the subtitles, I found that I had to pay attention... so for 32 episodes (each almost 1 1/2 hrs long) I was captivated and not at all productive. But no worries -- this is a very special show. The symbolism and passion, a complete set of characters that you grow to absolutely love (or hate) and each one gets under your skin. I have a new appreciation for Turkish culture and for Istanbul and I am yearning for more shows like this one. A real treat, and I am soooooo glad I took a chance on something I don't normally watch!

I love Turkish Dramas but I really love this show. So many great characters. Funny, sad, dramatic, love, forgiveness, everything. I wish we had good television like Turkish dramas. I am thankful that Netflix shows so many. I recommend everyone watch this show. I am learning the Turkish language so that I can watch good series and movies like this. Shows like this help me learn the language.

The series is a unique example of the Turkish TV industry. Subat offers a beautiful cinematic experience with over 50 very talented actors and actresses, unforgettable visuals and musical scores. To this date, I'm quite assured that no other Turkish producer and director have been able to achieve such exceptional viewer experience - which makes Subat an absolute benchmark for the upcoming projects. The plot does have sharp and shocking twists and key characters are introduced gradually, which creates continued viewer interest and enthusiasm. Compared to other TV series produced in Turkey, Subat is one of the few that respects the intelligence of the viewer and offers much more than what is presented on the screen if the viewer chooses to analyze the characters and puts the pieces together by himself. I must also add that producing such quality imagery and storyline is not that easy when each episode is approximately 100 minutes long and filmed on a weekly basis. An overall excellent production that deserves much better recognition, and I hope to see more like this series in the future.

I was looking forward to this Turkish remake of the class TV show beauty and the beast I did not know what to expect since the original is almost to copy but so far after watching 13 episodes I can say that it is am interesting remake of course the setting story and characters like the original is very fictional and has nothing to do with reality unlike the original the hero is not a beast but rather a disfigured homeless naive guy living in Istanbul tunnels he is fascinated by a rich TV presenter their meeting starts a chain of unpredictable events the acting is top notch the guy playing subat is very convincing but maybe a little too good looking to play a creepy man but whats really outstanding about the show is the director I have never seen a TV show with such excellent cinematic direction at least not in Turkish shows the show does have flows mostly with the writing its sometimes way over the top and sometimes cheesy but so was the originaloverall worth checking out by fans of the original
