Behzat Ç.


Behzat Ç. - Anlat Lan...
Behzat Ç.

Turkish detective series. Each episode is like an hour and a half, so more like a movie, which is what we were expecting but when we got to the end there is another episode. So, how many episodes are there? 96. Might keep us occupied till Christmas.

On Netflix the show has English subtitles, but I couldn't find any clips on YouTube that had subtitles, though there were a couple that would allow you to add subtitles.

Every episode is like a movie. The first one started with a death that looked like a suicide, but turned out to be one of them Muslim honor killings - her cousin pushed her over the balcony rail. What was that quote? If you can make people believe absurdities, you can make them commit atrocities.

The second one is about a criminal organ transplants.

The third one starts off with what looks like a revenge killing, but trace it back far enough and it turns out the orignal killing was to cover up some hanky-panky by a government official, or it might have been just plain old jealousy.

Tonight's episode was about a miser being murdered by his son for his money.

Behzat has four women after him. Bahar is an old girlfriend who has recently gotten divorced from her husband, another is a middle-aged woman who sings at the local nightclub, the third is a young woman he met in the nuthouse where he spent a couple of months after the tragic events of the first episode, and  the fourth is the prosecutor. I can only conclude that women like violent men, or maybe it's men with guns. Only 92 episodes to go.
