## Synopsis

Graveyard (2022-present) is a Turkish crime drama series created by Evren Oğuz, Abdullah Oğuz, Onur Böber and Özden Uçar and distributed on Netflix. Birce Akalay plays Police Commissioner Önem Özülkü, who leads a special investigations unit confronting some of the most harrowing cases in the country, all of them involving violence against women. Olgun Toker stars as Komiser Serdar Ata, while Baran Güler plays forensic investigator Berk Güleryüz and Şehsuvar Aktaş appears as police officer Hasan Duru, each bringing a distinct pressure to the team's work. Sezgin Uzunbekiroğlu plays Dr. Feriha Mahmudzade, whose expertise helps the detectives read the evidence left behind. The engine of the series is the unit's relentless hunt for offenders, with each case built around a crime scene, forensic clues, interviews and the personal toll on investigators who must keep pushing through grim material. The show runs across three seasons and twenty long episodes, with each season largely built from self-contained cases rather than one continuing mystery. Set in contemporary Turkey, it unfolds in urban settings where institutional obstacles and social silence complicate every arrest. Its tone is grim, intense and procedural, with a serious, unsparing atmosphere. Fans of Bones, Special Victims Unit and Kurtlar Vadisi will find a similar appetite for forensic detail and sustained moral seriousness.
