Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) are a delight to watch evolve, sometimes devolve, then evolve again.

Elif, the wife of Ozan, who has a happy marriage and keeps to herself, has been staying with her mother for a few days and will return the next morning. While Ozan is home alone, his childhood friend Tolga shows up with an escort girl and Fehmi, a gossipmonger. They have also brought along Ati, their buddy from college who works at a snack bar. While Ozan tries to chase Tolga out of the house, his eccentric neighbor, retired sergeant Eşref, also shows up. Ozan waits for everyone to leave, but while watching the game alone in the living room, he wins a large sum of money from an illegal betting slip and dies of excitement. Ozan, Tolga, and Ati, hoping to dispose of the body, follow Crazy Eşref and find themselves in an even bigger mess.

Having Sersi be the central force in Eternals is unprecedented in its viewpoint and focus, from demonstrating a gentle type of leadership, to being overlooked in a group setting but succeeding in the goal at hand anyways, to having romantic options, to strength and integrity, and majority screen time - for a group that's given less screentime than aliens.

When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life. That’s why when something as powerful and authentic as Minari comes along, it is both incredibly wonderful and needs a large audience to witness it.
