Director: Deniz Yorulmazer
When Cihan Manoglu finds her own father's body, the case lands on the desk of the one colleague she cannot keep her distance from, setting "Sorgu" in motion as both a murder mystery and a quiet study of love under pressure.
What is Sorgu about?
Cihan is the only woman working in her unit's inquiry department, a position that already puts her under constant scrutiny before her father turns up dead in circumstances nobody can explain. The investigation is handed to Metin, her fellow officer and the person she is closest to, forcing the two of them to work the case side by side while everything around them, from colleagues to evidence, hints that this might not be a simple homicide. As the inquiry widens, old secrets surface about people Cihan thought she knew well, and the line between suspect and ally keeps shifting. The show builds its tension less through big twists than through the accumulation of small doubts, following Cihan and Metin as their professional partnership and personal bond are tested by a case that keeps implicating the people closest to it.
Cast & crew
Hazal Kaya carries Cihan through a mix of grief, suspicion, and professional discipline without letting any one note dominate, while Çağlar Ertuğrul plays Metin as someone torn between procedure and loyalty to the woman he loves. Director Deniz Yorulmazer favors slow-burn scenes over spectacle, letting silences and glances carry as much weight as the dialogue.
Context & significance
"Sorgu" premiered in 2024 within a strong run of Turkish mystery dramas built around a single investigator whose personal life becomes entangled with the case at hand. Rather than leaning on a large cast of suspects, the series narrows its focus to a tight circle of people connected to Cihan, which keeps the mystery personal instead of procedural.
Where & how to watch
"Sorgu" is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, so the investigation's twists and quieter emotional scenes both come through clearly for Farsi-speaking viewers. Browsing the show's page requires no account at all; watching the episodes only needs a login, inside a viewing experience built around Farsi navigation for audiences abroad.
