I couldn´t follow it because they were airing it at the same time as "Muhteşem Yüzyıl"´s but now they began to air it again during the week days (late at night but it suits me). I´m hooked.

The screenwriters are very good. Kıvanç´s acting is getting better and better.

I don´t dare to start watching any new series, because I know I will be hooked. Just waiting for new seasons of Muhteşem Yüzyıl and Suskunlar... 

That´s also what I´m trying not to do. When you´re hooked you have lost some free time for some other activity.

By the way, they are trying to include Brad Pitt in "Muhteşem Yüzyıl" for the next season (no deal has been reached yet).

Exactly! I had chance to see the whole Ezel series this summer, it is broadcasting here day by day between two seasons od Muhteşem Yüzyıl, but I just can´t afford sitting in front of TV two hours every day Pity, I´ve heard all the best about Ezel Maybe I will see it later online.

Yes, I´ve heard of tries to include Brad Pitt in Muhteşem Yüzyıl, I´ve also heard that they offered to Tuba Büyüküştün the role of prince Mustafa´s wife - but I don´t think Tuba would accept such a minor role...

Maybe she would. Because she wants to spend more time with her twin babies and so that minor role may be OK for her.

I´m in the middle of my summer holiday and to improve my understanding of Turkish I started watching Turkish series. I good friend of mine advised Kuzey Güney.. and believe it or not in just 1 week I´ve watched all 40 episodes! I´m addicted now and can´t wait for season 2! Good story and good actors! Luckily they also had English subtitles, because the actors talk way too fast for me. 

Yes, you may be right... And if I think better, Bergüzar Korel has appeared in a minor role in the same series
