Critic Reviews

Short review 4 min read English The Protector

The Protector (2018) Review: Istanbul's Superhero Myth

The Protector, Netflix's first Turkish original, makes an Istanbul antiques dealer the city's last guardian against immortals: brisk, handsome, thinly plotted fun.

Mostly yes, for fantasy-action fans who enjoy Istanbul settings and a charismatic lead. Viewers who want tight mythology and consistent pacing may lose patience.
