How far a father will go to shield his son sits at the heart of Hakim, a Turkish drama that puts a judge on the wrong side of the law he's spent his life upholding.
What is Hakim about?
The premise centers on a judge whose son is involved in a fatal hit and run, and the impossible position that puts him in: a man who has built his career on the impartial application of the law now has to decide what he owes his own family when the law points at them. The show plays out across the judge's professional world, courtrooms and legal circles where his reputation and authority carry weight, and his private world, where that same authority does nothing to make the situation easier. Rather than a courtroom procedural, Hakim is built as a family drama with legal stakes, following how one decision ripples outward through the judge's relationships, his standing, and his sense of who he is when the rules he enforces suddenly apply to someone he loves. The tension comes less from plot twists than from watching a principled man weigh competing loyalties in real time. K-Time streams Hakim with a Persian dub and Persian subtitles for viewers who want either option.
About the cast
Erdal Beşikçioğlu leads as the judge at the center of the story, with Ebru Özkan, Uğur Yücel, Yurdaer Okur, Eslem Akar, Fatih Berk Şahin, Burcu Kara, and Hasibe Özlem Eren completing the cast around him.
Context & significance
Hakim came out in 2022, directed by Erkan Tunç and Süleyman Mert Özdemir, and runs with longer episodes typical of Turkish primetime drama, giving the family and legal threads room to develop over a full hour rather than a compressed half-hour format. The series sits within a broader tradition of Turkish television that leans on morally complicated protagonists and high-stakes family drama, a format that has traveled well to Persian-speaking audiences who follow Turkish series closely.
