First Installment Wins now requires at least two sequels.


* FirstInstallmentWins: While both seasons are generally well-received, the first is more memorable for a tighter, more intimate focus and hewing relatively closer to [[Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo its literary inspiration]].

Not ymmv


* IconicSequelCharacter: Although he emerges as the GreaterScopeVillain during the first season, Kenan Birkan doesn't appear in the flesh until the second.

removed my own ymmv (i don't think it quite fit) and added another


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The second season reveals that Şebnem [[spoiler:returned to drug use after Kamil's death; her dependency was exploited by Kenan, and she spied on Ezel and his allies in turn for a fix. Her actions come as a shocking betrayal, but her addiction is also given a modicum of sympathy by the narrative. This was not enough to earn the sympathy of fans, however, as her actions not only served the enemy but resulted in the death of innocent Bahar]].

Added DiffLines:

* DracoInLeatherPants: Despite being a SmugSnake and DirtyCoward, ''Cengiz'' of all characters gets this from some female fans, who (rather disturbingly) express admiration for his "love" and "devotion" to Eyşan. Never mind that [[spoiler:he rapes and fatally stabs her in the penultimate episode]].

Added DiffLines:

* DieForOurShip: Poor, poor Bade could not escape the wrath of rabid Eyşan/Ezel shippers, who were already peeved by the couple's reduced screentime in season two. It didn't matter that Eyşan's intentions were more malicious in the second season, or that Bade developed a rapport with Ezel, becoming his trusted confidant: she was getting in the way of the one true pairing, and had death wished upon her as a result.
