Who Were We Running From? is a new Turkish thriller series that follows a mother who has a very mysterious past, and we don't even know her real name.
Over the course of seven episodes, we learn more about her character, why she's on the run and all sorts of other burning questions. The first episode opens with the mother and her daughter checking into a luxury hotel, but the staff soon grows suspicious of them!
As the title suggests, the duo is on the run from someone (or something?) and they have to keep hopping from hotel to hotel for their own safety. It's certainly an intriguing premise and seems like a must-watch for anyone after a twisty new thriller.
