Reception

[edit]

A review of the first season praised the way the series approached the topics of faith and technology.[6] Various reviews found the series thrilling and praised the acting.[7][8][9] A review of season 2, however, stated, "Without the potential mysticism that propped up Season 1 – the reveal didn’t come until very close to the end – it’s undeniable that Kubra Season 2 has lost an essential quality. But it retains a provocative thematic throughline, and the performers rise to the challenge of selling the dilemma Gokhan finds himself in."[10] Movies.net was much more critical and found the season 2 "worse" than the first.[11]
