What is the plot of 'Kübra'?

Gökhan Ahinolu's life is pretty ordinary, but then he starts receiving messages from an entity called 'Kübra'. The messages seem to be coming from the future and soon Gökhan amasses a following, albeit reluctantly at first, that disrupts his personal life. But this new-found 'fame' comes with its own problems and shadows, and some of them could be lethal.

Çagatay is one of Turkey's most popular actors. His acting career began the same day his modeling career reached its zenith: His 2010 'Best Model of Turkey' accolade came on the same night he received his first big acting job in the TV series 'Adini Feriha Koydum' in which he played Emir Sarrafoglu and would do so for 80 episodes. His star continued to rise with 2013's 'Ebb and Tide' and 2016' 'Insider. But he would achieve global fame thanks to the hit Netflix series 'The Tailor'. Fans can catch him next in the upcoming TV series 'Gaddar'.

Food and chemical engineer Aslihan got her acting break in 2017's 'Seven Ne Yapmaz'. She did, however, put down her marker in the Turkish entertainment industry with her portrayal of Ayda Akman in the TV series 'Her Yerde Sen'. The year 2021 was a watershed for her, starring in two of the biggest hits at the time: Crime thriller 'Üç Kurus', and social drama 'Etkileyici'. She followed these up with another hit series 'Darmaduman' to finally cement her status as one of Turkey's most bankable actresses.  

Is 'Kübra' worth watching?

Turkish series have been excellent of late across the board and 'Kübra' looks like it's going to continue that trend. The show has an intriguing plot and a solid cast, which should make it, at the very least, and interesting watch, if not a great one.
