As someone who took literary criticism and was obsessed with Mary Shelley in high school and college, I am begging more people to watch “Creature”!!!

It’s a Turkish limited series on Netflix and may just be one of the best adaptations of Frankenstein I’ve ever seen

"So many days have passed. Won't you let me see your face already?"

"...have you ever heard of the forget-me-not flower?"

"No, I haven't. Is that what they're called? I don't like the name. It makes me think of being apart. Are you planning on leaving?"

"No, it's not that."

"Okay, I won't ask to see your face. Just please, don't leave."

"I won't. Don't worry. I'll pick other flowers for you. Flowers with nicer names. The ones that sounds like reunions."

Ihsan & Esma [Yaratılan, Netflix]. Giving the happy ending they so deserve.

+Duymadım, adı öyle miymiş? Sevmedim adını. Ayrılığa dair durur, gidecek misin yoksa?

-Yok ondan değil.

+Tamam istemem yüzünü görmek. Yeter ki gitme.

There's also the 2015 movie called just "Frankenstein" with Danny Huston and Carrie-Anne Moss. It has a modern vibe and it's a veeery worthy adaptation!

"Have you ever heard of the forget-me-not flower?"

"No, I haven't. Is that it's real name? I don't like the name. It sounds like a separation. Are you planning on leaving?"

"No, it's not about that."

"Okay, fine, I won't ask to see you again. Just please, don't leave me."

"I won't. Don't worry, I won't. I can pick other flowers for you. Flowers with better names. The ones that sounds like reunions."

HAN SO HEE Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 Coming September 27

[oracle-of-moon]

Hello, Brazilian person here.

I watched the series recently. At first, one episode a day, but after the 4th one I found myself anxious for the time to come for me to watch another one. I'm also a fan of Gothic literature and I read Frankenstein, so I was able to appreciate it even more by comparing the differences between the two, and the things that Yaratilan added to the story, using Turkish culture itself.

I really like watching productions from other countries, but I don't remember ever watching something so immersed in Turkish culture. I was happy to have discovered such a beautiful language and to know more about the setting and costumes of the time. As well as the actors!

I'm currently recommending the series to all my close friends and using this as an excuse to rewatch everything from the beginning.

The actors did very well, especially the actor who gave life (and what life!) to Ihsan; In few productions have I seen such touching expressions and a character with such lovely features. And also, because in very little screen time, the series manages to develop strong relationships between the characters and make us care so much about them.

I've never been one to rewatch series once I finish them, but I've rewatched some entire episodes more than 3 times now.

I know that Yaratilan was VERY likely intended to have just one season and that's it, but I can't help but hope for the small clues left throughout the episodes, that perhaps we could be gifted with a second season.

Turkish Frankenstein Show

"Yaratılan/ Creature "

hey guys, I just binge-watched this show with my parents and it was amazing.

Yaratilan/ Creature is a Turkish adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, produced by Netflix and directed by Çağan Irmak.

first of all, the story takes place at the end of the Ottoman era (which is also the End of the Victorian Era)

So Victor is now called Ziya, which also means Light.

I love how they changed the story into Turkish culture in such a good way, the costumes, scenery everything looks great and the Turkish actors play it soooo well.

There are new characters added in the story, which fits so well, I wasn't complaining like I usually do when an adaptation adds silly things into the story and skips parts from the book BUT this show did everything well in my opinion, there was changed parts but it fit well and almost every part of the Story from the book was covered.

I also love how Ziya was bothered by "uneducated people " during his studies and had a rough time, which is also very relatable to me.

In the show, you will get to see the rich part of the society and their clothing (Istanbul) but also see Turkish Villages! The costumes and environment were so well done.

As it comes to the Creature`s story. It has changed a lot, but the key elements of the story and motivation are still there. The makeup was great and the actor Erkan Kolçak played him so well, I really liked it. I believe you will also like the change to his character arc. I could talk a lot more about it but don't want to spoil it.

I don't watch Turkish movies/series because many of them have the same theme and drama elements and one episode takes 2 hours long, but as a gothic literature fan, I adore this show and am very very proud to see it as a Turkish person. I highly recommend it to you all! please go and watch it and also see my culture.

Personal project: cover art I did for my fanfic (in progress), based on Çagan Irmak's Yaratılan / Creature, a Turkish series on Netflix (inspired in Frankenstein) 😁 'Uyan' means 'wake up'! 🇹🇷

~ Like all fanfiction, this is a project without commercial intent, made just for fun and appreciation for the original work ~ . Projeto pessoal: capa para minha fanfic (em andamento) de Yaratilan, série Turca da Netflix (inspirada em Frankenstein)! 'Uyan' significa 'Desperte' em Turco!

[perplexingly]

Yaratılan quickly became my favourite Frankenstein adaptation, so here’s a fanart

Absolute Cinema.

Seriously. Beautiful show, I want more so bad.

Aliki: İhsan, don’t do this. Don’t get upset. It’s not worth it.

Ejder: Didn’t I tell you, İhsan? I told you we sold lies.

İhsan: I want the truth.

Aliki: The truth? The truth is the ugliness in the human heart. What’s out there, this whole world, is only lies to us. That’s the only truth for people like us, my child. Outcasts like us find the truth in one another. Our country, our soil is only as large as each other’s hearts. The more we understand each other, the larger our land becomes. Got it? Even if you don’t ever go up on that stage ever again, I’ll still like you. That’s the truth.

Geralt has a new friend! 🐉

What name should he give it? (knowing Geralt's creativity, you know, stupid ideas, are the best ideas!)
