But whatever the idea the makers have presented of a helpless onlooker Kerim somehow is unbelievable to me 😕 ( just not bcos am a Kerim s fan 😛😆) but it somehow doesnt gel at all that he watched the other 3 raping her without doing or saying anything
This show isn't just about FGs journey. It's as much about kerims journey too. If you see kerim constantly laments the fact that he is never able to save her when she is in trouble, be it that night or when erdo vural attack them or when erdo attacks her or when musti attacked her in ildir...*spoilers* till that changes and he saves her.
I think we as an audience are too used to expecting perfect heroes who always find the courage/ morals to fight the wrong guys and save the girl. But how many such heroes truly exist? Almost everyone will turn a blind eye or side with the person they know (like meltem did), otherwise we would have more people stepping forward to stop criminals or identify them. Instead most will just shrug n walk away thinking not my problem, or thank god it wasnt me or someone i know. So here kerim not stopping them, saving them, etc does make sense. He is a regular guy, not a hero. Hence he lacks the courage to do what is right and does what is easy...watch and silently condemn and judge. He takes up the role of a hero when he lodges that complaint.
