FiÇI6 - some comments on the episode
1. At the beginning SMK seems so righteous, even heroic, with being like "You must pay fo what you did to that woman!" And Can's like: "Don't you remember when you did the same?" And then we see the reality: there's no hero here, just two scumbags rivalring for the title of the worst. Some good writing.
2. The problem with SMK not being able to redeem himself is that he focuses too much on himself."Poor me, I want to be good, but I won't come clean to you, poor me, it's gonna cost me so much, you must be by my side for me to be good, poor me," What about the people you hurt?
3. He's so much like Duru - I want to be good, but I don't want to acknowledge what damage I did. I prefer to lament that I'm not that bad instead of admitting my sins. Why doesn't SMK admit to Özge what he did to Furkan? "I drove my wife to suicide, but it set her free" WTF?
4. It's sad for me to see Özge and Deniz relapsing into bad relationships& kind of trust Duru and SMK again after deep rifts. Still, I can understand Özge's motivations more, given her situation and what she's been through, and that SMK is her only option for support atm.
5. Duru's behaviour last episode was truly horrible - what she did to Ece was, as Deniz put it, mobbing. And she didn't even stop after she get what she wanted. Ece left in terrible state, so if she was the driver, Duru's conscience is far from clear. Also, it's really high time for Deniz to stop whitewashing Duru.Â
6. I do wonder whether there's place for redemption in Duru's arc - if we follow the Afife Jale parallel and "Can as morphine addiction" metaphor, her ending will be tragic,&Can will destroy her; there may be not a literal death though, but  spiritual annihilation.Â
