In this episode of Turkish TV Obsessed, Laura and Melissa delve into the twists and turns of "As the Crow Flies" Season 1, Episode 5. They discuss the intricate dynamics between the characters, the narrative choices made in the episode, and their thoughts on some of the show's more controversial moments.

Episode Highlights:

• Flashback Frenzy: Melissa points out the narrative choice of a flashback-heavy episode, noting it's unusual in screenwriting to use flashbacks extensively. Both hosts agree that it doesn't serve the storyline effectively, especially when they want to focus on the present.
• Character Dynamics: The hosts explore the complex relationships, particularly Laleh's involvement with Muge, Salim, and Kinan. They explore how Asli Tuna manipulates situations to her advantage and why they do not root for the main characters.
• Asli's Scheming: Asli takes center stage with her manipulative tactics, including planting seeds of doubt in Salim's mind and creating tension between Laleh and Kinan. Her power play in the office and interactions with other characters engage the episode.
• Kinan's Ick Factor: Laura and Melissa are uncomfortable with Kinan's actions and dialogue, particularly his creepy behavior toward Laleh. They question whether the show wants the audience to root for him or feel repulsed.
• The Toxic Couple We Need: While discussing the toxic dynamics in the show, the hosts admit that Asli and Yusuf are the couple they're rooting for despite their morally grey actions.
