Midnight at the Pera Palace

Love the story & setting. Beautifully filmed!!! A serious subject matter, and the moments of comedy, very well timed. It does help to know a little history to follow this series. Stay alert & focus because the back and forth through portal of time can get confusing. NOT A COPY of Outlander! Give this a chance. The styling and hair for Hazal Kaya, is not so good, took away from her acting, so distracting. I know the role is a young, mess of a woman, yet the styling still fails her. We can give her a break. Male lead, perfect, and the hotel manager fantastic. Turkish film making is fantastic, stories and everything else! Why do people compare this to shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, they are totally different, and depends what kind of movies you like. It is not a fair comparison.

Surprisingly good, with drama and mind bending time travel loops. I won't pretend there aren't plot holes but with such a compelling storyline, you're likely to forget them. The acting is good and the costumes and sets fit the time period. Good vibes and charming characters.

It's a good story with twists wrought by time jumps which initially might tend to confuse the viewer. For a while, the story wavers before picking up pace towards the latter third of the show.

A story that links Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is invariably fascinating as Turkey is a fascinating country. The story takes place just 4 years before he becomes the first president of the Republic of Turkey.

The set design and costumes are amazing. Meticulous effort has been expended to capture the tone and vibes of the period.

Hazel Kaya and Tansu Bicer are a good team, and the viewer avidly follows their extraordinary adventure.

A joyful surprise and a pleasant show filled with real history facts.

A good alternative to English and American series with this time travel experience.

The Pera Palace truly existed and welcomed guests as famous as Ernest Hemingway or Josephine Baker. Agatha Christie wrote her novel "Crime on the Orient-Express" at this hotel.

I'm in love with this show! I find that time travel stories can get quite confusing, but felt that overall this show does well with not throwing everything at you at once and giving you a chance to understand what's happening.

It has moments that seem a little silly at first, but I found that I enjoyed that aspect of it once I got a handle on what they were going for. It's not meant to be an overly serious mood. The characters are interesting, the costumes and sets are gorgeous, and it's just a fun time.

On my first viewing, I watched with the English dub. If you are an English speaker, I definitely recommend doing the same to follow the plot more easily. I've heard some pretty poorly-done dubs, but this one was GREAT. I almost forgot I was listening to a dub most of the time even though the audio obviously doesn't match up with the lip movements. Kudos to the English voice actors for their performances!!!
