If you want animation that is not just for kids, Ruthless City is available on streaming right now. 2 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped.

Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Ruthless City is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, Ruthless City operates well above the genre average. The life of a disabled guy changes dramatically after a family from a small town comes to Istanbul. How will Seher behave after she learns that her mother-in-law has agreed with Agah Karacay? What will Ceren do when she learns that she is supposed to get married to disabled Nedim instead of Cenk? Fikret Kuşkan and Deniz Uğur bring more to it than the format typically demands. The series ran for 2 seasons (2019–2020), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What makes Ruthless City more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Ruthless City belongs on any best-of list regardless of format. The tonal similarities to Yalı Çapkını are real, though Ruthless City carves out its own identity quickly. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Fikret Kuşkan's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.

Ruthless City wrapped up in 2020, created by Cevdet Mercan and Sırma Yanık — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
