The CinePearl Take
The series' standout is newcomer Selim Yilmaz, whose brooding performance as the eponymous detective anchors the narrative. The deliberate pacing allows the political intrigue to unfold layer by layer, while the recurring motif of borders—both literal and psychological—adds depth. Though the plot sometimes meanders, the cinematography compensates with striking compositions.
