How to watch The Turkish Detective online from anywhere

Ayşe Farsakoğlu (Yasemin Kay Allen), Mehmet Suleyman (Ethan Kai) and Çetin Ikmen (Haluk Bilginer) stand behind yellow police tape in The Turkish Detective.

London Met detective Mehmet Suleyman (Ethan Kai) embodies both the joys and strains of west meeting east in The Turkish Detective, an eight-part crime drama set in the sprawling metropolis of Istanbul. Welcomed with open arms by young-at-heart inspector Çetin Ikmen (Haluk Bilginer) and with suspicion by his protege detective Ayşe Farsakoğlu (Yasemin Kay Allen), here's where to watch The Turkish Detective online for free – from anywhere.

Don't be fooled by his grizzled appearance and questionable realtionship with the bottle; Çetin's childlike spirit hasn't been broken by the job yet. His so-called superiors on the other hand... In spite of his devotion to the city and its people, however, he feels compelled to take the next step before his powers wane.

Ayşe is more than ready to step out as a leader in her own right, but the arrival of laser-focused Mehmet represents a real threat to her position in the hierarchy. There's no way she's letting this hotshot Londoner enfeeble her without a fight. 

Based on the series of bestselling novels by Barbara Nadel, The Turkish Detective exposes the glitzy overclass and the grimy underbelly of Istanbul, unravelling murder cases, false motives and top-secret operations along the way.

Read on as we explain how to watch The Turkish Detective from anywhere in the world.
