What is The Club about?

Fresh out of prison in 1950s Istanbul, Matilda takes a job at a glittering nightclub to rebuild a relationship with the daughter she could not raise — a Sephardic Jewish teenager drawn to the club’s charismatic owner. Around them swirls a period drama of minorities, music and a city on the cusp of change.

Celluloid verdict: A sumptuous, emotionally generous period piece that broke new ground for Turkish television — warmly reviewed for Gökçe Bahadır’s lead turn and its rare, affectionate depiction of Istanbul’s Jewish community. The cast is led by Gökçe Bahadır, Barış Arduç, Salih Bademci, Asude Kalebek.

How many seasons of The Club are there, and where do I start?
