“As is Season 1, Season 2 is unapologetically focused on human emotions and relationships. It’s a modern-day comedy-drama, interestingly set against the backdrop of historical perspectives, with a storyline that explores essential themes of love, friendship, childbirth, marriage, parenthood, and unresolved traumas inherited from ancestors.”

A great sequel that will come back with Season 3 next year, @nuranevrensit outdoes herself with the soulful script. @burcu.alptekin and @erdem.tepegoz directorial vision leaves an impression. In this review by Michele Calderon @micmd2503 one gets the details of why Another Self remains a compelling watch.

“Kızıl Goncalar is a thought-provoking series that compels the viewers to learn more about the political, spiritual, economic and social history of the country.”

An excellent series that will come back with Season 2 on September 30. For those of you who haven’t watched, we hope this piece by @soul_phoems on North America TEN website will entice you to do so.
