First and Last

Barış and Deniz are two people from different worlds whose paths intersect in their mid-twenties. They fall into a relationship that feels both inevitable and fragile, even as the scars from childhood start to surface and steer their choices. What follows is a ten year arc in which their bond becomes a vehicle for a steady psychological study rather than a simple romance. The mood shifts with the weather of their inner lives, swinging between bright, overcast and stormy, sometimes hopeful and sometimes doubtful, always unpredictable. The series uses their love to examine how past traumas continue to shape present desires and fears.

Premiering in 2021, this Turkish drama is directed by Devrim Yalçın and created by Hakan Bonomo; it's conceived as an original story rather than an adaptation, with Timuçin Esen and Bergüzar Korel in leading roles.

Critics have noted a restrained, introspective pace and performances that bring painful memories to quiet life. The show centers on love and resilience, showing how memory and childhood wounds influence trust, communication, and the possibility of building a life together.
