Five Brothers (Beş Kardeş) (translated)

TV Series · 2015 · 16 people

Combining comedy, drama and sentiment, Ay Yapım's Beş Kardeş (Five Brothers) aired on Kanal D as a Turkish television series that presents itself as a warm family comedy. The show premiered on February 16, 2015, and ended on August 4, 2015, after 13 episodes.

The story is built around five very different brothers: Sait, Orhan, Turgut, Nazım and Aziz. Sait, a fisherman, loses his parents in an earthquake and begins to act as both mother and father to his four younger brothers. Serkan Keskin plays Sait, Osman Sonant plays Orhan, Nadir Sarıbacak plays Nazım, Tansu Biçer plays Turgut and Fatih Artman plays Aziz. Among the people around them are Nihal Yalçın (Canan), Ayşen Gruda (Mukadder), Köksal Engür (Uncle Osman), Melisa Sözen (Fahriye), Serdar Orçin (Kudret) and Zeynep Kızıltan (Yasemin).

Onur Ünlü directed the series, with Erkan Tunç among the assistant directors. Besides Ünlü and Tunç, Mustafa Mutlu, Kamuran Süner and İsmail İçen wrote the screenplay; Kerem Çatay produced, and the directors of photography included Hakan Okumuş, Fatih Şengöz and Eyüp Boz. In Serbia it has been shown on TDC since 2019.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

A nice pick if you're after a warm family comedy. Sait, who lost his parents in an earthquake, becoming both mother and father to his four younger brothers is very touching. Funny and emotional moments sit side by side. The theme of loss may weigh a little on small children, but overall it is a series the whole family can watch. I liked how it puts the bond between brothers first.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Five brothers, five distinct characters: Sait, Orhan, Turgut, Nazım and Aziz. The way this group of brothers, with Osman Sonant, Tansu Biçer, Nadir Sarıbacak and Fatih Artman among them, holds together is the show's biggest asset. Having names like Ayşen Gruda and Köksal Engür in the surrounding roles adds to the warmth. The real pity is that it ends after only 13 episodes; just as the character arcs start to open up, everything closes, and some of the brothers' stories feel unfinished. Short, but likeable family viewing.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

With Onur Ünlü and Erkan Tunç sharing the director's chair, the show raises expectations about its sense of humor from the start. The script, trying to hold comedy, drama and sentiment together, sets a story of loss that begins with an earthquake inside the frame of a warm family comedy; the tonal shift is bold but not always smooth. The effort to give each of the five brothers room scatters attention rather than deepening the characters in such a short-lived production. Having Hakan Okumuş, Fatih Şengöz and Eyüp Boz among the cinematographers is worth noting. 13 episodes are not enough for the show to fully build the tender world it promises; for a cinephile curious about the tonal shifts and the two directors' shared humor, it remains an interesting attempt.
