Season 1

Poyraz Karayel (2015), Season 1 — a Turkish crime action series you can watch online on iFILM, 24 episodes that open on the day one man loses everything: his name, his badge, his family, and the right to see his own son.

The season is the story of a fall and a long climb back, told through deception. To win his boy back from his father-in-law Ünsal, the disgraced ex-cop Poyraz is sent undercover into the largest mafia in Istanbul. That is the engine of the first season — the deeper he sinks into the role, the harder it gets to tell the cover from the man wearing it. Underworld dealings, private scores, a woman he can never fully trust. Twenty-four episodes of a noose tightening slowly.

İlker Kaleli holds the whole thing on raw nerve, with Burçin Terzioğlu as the second center of gravity. This season is for fans of dark Turkish crime drama, not melodrama. Stream Poyraz Karayel Season 1 online on iFILM.
