Available on YouTube (official Kanal D channel with subtitles) and various streaming platforms like Netflix (depending on your region) under the title What Is Fatmagül's Fault? .
The series opened the door for "neo-noir" Turkish dramas focused on female suffering and empowerment. It is often cited alongside Kara Sevda (Endless Love) and Aşk-ı Memnu as a gateway show for international audiences. The show has faced valid criticism. Some argue the 80-episode length dilutes the urgency of the plot with repetitive misunderstandings and romantic filler. Others note that despite its feminist message, the show still centers the male redemption arc (Kerim) almost as much as the female victim's journey.
However, defenders argue that showing Kerim’s transformation was necessary for the show’s target audience: men in patriarchal societies who needed to see a perpetrator of male violence choose to change. In 2021, a Greek remake ( Έγκλημα και Πάθος – Crime and Passion ) premiered, and an English-language adaptation has been rumored for years. But the original remains untouchable.
