This series is interesting to view in terms of an insight into the Turkish way of life. The story lines are sometimes good and sometimes totally crazy. The characters are extremely well acted but at times annoying to watch which is what they are supposed to be and is a tribute to the professionalism of the actors. To complete the series is a marathon. Individual episodes are complete in themselves but there are several continuing story lines which attract you to the next episode to see what happens. What is fascinating is portrayal of the way policing operates in Turkish Muslem society and how citizens and police have to be wary of potentially corrupt entities within a highly authoritarian state. With potentially 150 hours of watching time I suspect not many people will make it to the end.

Through this series I liked Ankara. Behzat Ç is a rough, violent and morally ambiguous police officer who is the head of the homicide department in Ankara. Behzat Ç and his team usually work together with the public prosecutor Esra, who later becomes his love interest. I wish though that all police officers. A series of very sincere. All the characters in the series so good. They complement each other. Array doing different from other series. 'La' word stuck in my mouth. Unfortunately, the series it was finished. I wish I had not been this way. Very more should be done like this series. It became one of the series will not be forgotten. So at least for me... 10/10

I am probably writing this because of the last scene on the 30th episode. However by itself the 30th episode could not be the reason. Constant quality of the work delivered by this group of artist had been bewitching me to the point that nothing else could satisfy my taste for crime drama. I used to be a fan of Law and Order Criminal Intent, now it seems all too fictionalized for me. The fact may or may not be seen by watching the broken life of Behzat C, his love interests or his bizarre roommate Sule, not even his crew who consists of a Ghost, a Vulture and a Tosun Pasa. However they are so close to the fact, they make you think about them even can visualize them in your life. And the Expert of Crimes Against Life continues on living and solving those crimes, while he lives, more or less like anyone of us.

Behzat Ç. is basically about the adventures of a homicide detective and his squad in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. The series are adapted from the novels of Emrah Serbes (Her Temas İz Bırakır and Son Hafriyat) and directed by famous Turkish film director Serdar Akar, known with his movies Gemide, Dar Alanda Kısa Paslaşmalar, Barda and Kurtlar Vadisi Irak. Erdal Besikcioglu is the star of the series. He previously performed in Turkish movies Vali, Eve Giden Yol and Bal as well as various TV series (Ayrılık, Köprü, Es Es) although he is originally a theater actor. 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.
