Anyone take a dive into Black Money Love from Turkey on Netflix?

12. wow, you're just chugging on through

I know it's hard to find a point to pause....

I like your observation about the differences of the houses. It's just one of the many distinctions we see. I think a lot of the differences show up in the oppression of the women. The rich women, although facing the same patriarchy, seem to have more license in challenging it, where the poorer women seem to not only be shackled by it, but end up helping to enforce it.

One of the refreshing things about this particular show is that Elif is allowed to take the initiative in pursuing Omer--although she has to pull back until he is forced by jealousy to react.

I think one of the things that drew me to these serials was the emotionality (yes, even the crying--except for Nilufer). Maybe it's the isolation of being older along with the pandemic, but all the emotions really fulfill a need that doesn't get satisfied by most movies and/or political analysis. The constant crazy mind-fucking by all media is making me lose confidence of ever finding any reality in rational analysis. So I take refuge in fictional stories for now---although after watching this one, the effort to get rid of Tayyar seemed very analogous to the efforts to get rid of trump.

And they do drink a lot ot tea! (I can't understand the small glasses either)

If you'll forgive me linking a fan made video, you might find this an interesting take on the series:
