“Another Self” is a Turkish TV series starring Tuba Büyüküstün. With Riza Kocaoglu, Seda Bakan and Firat Tanis.
The saga of these three companions continues its unerring progression. With the first season being a resounding success, the second season of “Another Self” brings much of the same: the rollercoaster lives of these three women including their trials, romances, and self-discoveries.
“Another Self” is a Turkish series that places sensitivity at its core and narrates, with utmost sincerity, the miracle of life in all its facets—joy, sorrow, nostalgia, and ups and downs. It’s a series about women, about self-discovery, and above all, about life itself. Starting today, we can all indulge in the second season of this Turkish series on Netflix.
Strong Actresses for a Series Entrenched in Emotion, Self-discovery, and Love
The series features the shining star of Turkish cinema, Tuba Büyüküstün, who is integral to virtually all the plot threads of the series. Ada, the most complex character, guides us along the spiritual pathway that the series seeks to explore. Through her profession as a doctor and her meditative practices, Ada unveils to us a spiritual world which is undoubtedly the main cause of the series’ success.
“Another Self” sets a spiritual heritage as its backdrop—an invisible thread passed on from mothers to children, which transcends even medicine. The series focuses heavily on this topic, but also touches the theme of mortality (one of the friends is battling cancer and trying to surpass her treatments).
However, the series also delves into romantic relationships, which are always tense and always difficult. All three women face challenging situations and the world of relationships doesn’t seem to fit seamlessly into their lives. Seda Bakan plays Leyla and Boncuk Yilmaz completes the protagonist trio as Sevgi.
