Behzat Ç.: An Ankara Policeman

2010–2019 · 4 seasons

A grimy, slow-burning procedural that lingers on grief and institutional rot, with a weary, volatile hero and flashes of grim humour.

Overview: Centered around a personally troubled, officially discredited police chief and his inharmonious police team in Ankara Police Force. Even though the show usually focuses on murders and other crimes that happens on a weekly basis, the undertone of the story leads to an eventual duel between Behzat Ç. and the rotten department officials and bureaucrats.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Grief, corruption, justice, obsession
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
