Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original British series was Margaret Thatcher's favorite show — this Turkish adaptation had to navigate its own political minefield during Erdogan's early rise.
Haluk Bilginer had already played iconic bureaucrats; casting him as Samim was essentially typecasting as art form. He reportedly improvised entire phone-call scenes.
