TV Series · 2017–2021 · 28 people

FOX began airing Savaşçı ("Fighter"), a Turkish series combining action, military and drama, on April 9, 2017. Produced by Limon Film from a screenplay by Süleyman Çobanoğlu, it was directed by a long list of filmmakers, among them Volkan Kocatürk. The series ran for five seasons and ended on June 12, 2021 with its 109th episode.

At its center is the famous Sword Team, once regarded as one of the elite units of the Maroon Berets. After its commanders are arrested and sent to prison and three petty officers are dismissed from the profession, the team is on the verge of disbandment, and then it is called back to duty. The show interweaves special-operations missions with the soldiers' family lives and foregrounds themes of patriotism, sacrifice and comradeship. Berk Oktay plays Captain Kağan. The cast also includes Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy, Murat Serezli, Sarp Levendoğlu, Atakan Işıktutan (First Lieutenant Oktay), Alican Albayrak (Lieutenant Murat) and Burç Kümbetlioğlu (Master Sergeant Bayram), Fırat Albayram (First Lieutenant Serdar) and Doğan Bayraktar (Staff Sergeant Selçuk).

With Çobanoğlu as the writer, the director's chair over the years was also occupied by Hakan İnan, Bülent İşbilen, Murat Saraçoğlu, Günay Günaydın, Doğan Ümit Karaca, Osman Taşcı, Şafak Bal and Eray Koçak.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A series built around the missions of a Maroon Beret team goes straight for the target if you love action. The idea of the Sword Team being called back to duty just as it's about to fall apart raises the stakes and tension from the start. My only complaint is the family scenes: the home life squeezed between operations sometimes stalls the pace. It's a solid pick for anyone who wants comradeship and special-ops action.

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

Five seasons and 109 episodes: Savaşçı is a long haul, and you should go in knowing that. Berk Oktay's Captain Kağan carries the show, and team members such as Oktay, Murat and Bayram add warmth to the ensemble. The long list of directors over the years does show, though, and you can notice shifts in tone and pace from one stretch to the next. In a run this long, the quieter patches can test your patience. But putting missions side by side with family life makes it easy to get attached to the characters.

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

Savaşçı puts values like patriotism, sacrifice and friendship up front, so it's a show the grandparents will likely enjoy. But since it's about special-operations missions, expect combat scenes, and take care if small children are watching. The parts about the soldiers' family lives can give everyone something to talk about. I'd say it suits teenagers and adults best.
