About Yargi
Yargi, known internationally as Family Secrets and sometimes translated as The Judgment, is a Turkish legal drama that aired on Kanal D from 2021 to 2024. The story brings together two people who stand on opposite sides of the justice system. Ceylin Erguvan is a fierce and instinctive defense attorney who fights for her clients with little patience for procedure, while Ilgaz Kaya is a principled, by-the-book prosecutor who believes the law must be followed even when it is painful. Their professional clash is sharpened when they are drawn into the same murder investigation.
What begins as a single case soon reveals that their two families are bound together by a tangle of buried secrets, old loyalties, and hidden crimes. As Ceylin and Ilgaz dig deeper, each new discovery forces them to weigh personal loyalty against their duty to the truth. The series uses the structure of a procedural, with cases unfolding in courtrooms and crime scenes, while layering in a slow-burning relationship between two strong-willed leads who are forced to trust each other despite everything that divides them.
Across three seasons, Yargi balances tense legal storytelling with intimate family drama, asking how far people will go to protect the ones they love and what justice really costs. Anchored by the performances of Pinar Deniz and Kaan Urgancioglu, the show became one of Kanal D's most acclaimed recent titles and a major Turkish export, earning a strong international following and critical recognition, including an International Emmy win in the telenovela category.
