English Review

Let us remember that ethos is the common way of life or behavior adopted by a group of individuals who belong to the same socio-cultural group.

This is precisely the essence of this Turkish miniseries that, starting from the stories of Meryem (Öykü Karayel) -a Muslim girl devoted to her brother and his family-, her psychotherapist Peri (Defne Kayalar) and her supervisor, Gülbin ( Tülin Ózen), opens and enriches the panorama, linking them with other characters, configuring a choral drama that basically rests on the oppositions and contrasts between pairs of ethos: that of lower-middle-class religious people and that of upper-middle-class lay people and illustrated, to which is added a gender perspective about the relationship between men and women within each one.

Another constant among the characters is their difficulty in communicating (difficulty that transcends ethos) and the reasons for this difficulty. The tone of the dialogues at times produces a certain strangeness and is surreal.

In various ways, as many as its characters, the series travels serenely (although not without violence, in some cases) the attempt to overcome these difficulties, conditioning and traumas. At times psi drama, at times family drama, Ethos… at times appeals to a strange poetry, a beautiful photograph and a soundtrack that uses themes from romantic movies.
