Under The Sea
The sun has just belched out a massive flare, and the entire universe is on edge. This is the first episode of Yakamoz S-245, a Turkish spin-off series that actually exists in an extended universe. The show follows the adventures of a group of aliens who must find their way back home after being sucked into the sun’s Flare.
Arman is a diver who we follow from the tranquil shallows underwater through to the surface and through the bustling market in Bangkok. ..
Arman soon meets an old friend called Defne, who shows up after one of Arman’s deckhands let her know where he is. She wants him to join her on a deep sea voyage to the Erebus Trench. Deciding to think it over, Arman and Defne part ways for now.
In the morning, a file is dropped under Arman’s door, prompting him to head off and visit Defne again. She’s not alone though, given her fiancé Kenan is there too. For now, Arman learns more about what this mission entails. The end-goal here is to find some famous black coral, something called Savalia Savaglia.
The expedition is actually being funded by Arman’s estranged father, but things are certainly fractured between them. The crew heading aboard this large ship are joined by Defne’s assistant Rana, her fiance Kenan, a marine biologist called Cem and an oceanographer called Felix. Out at sea, they receive word that there’s something wrong with the ocean over in Asia, but it’s chalked up to a volcanic eruption and they continue on nonetheless. ..
The woman who works at the Airbase is aware of the sun flare and phones her mother to ask for help, but the soldiers intercept the call and take her car. The woman outsmart them though and drives off in the night.
The dive goes ahead for the gang but there are clear tensions between Defne and Arman as they descend deep into the ocean. It’s clear Arman is jealous of Kenan, but when she asks him about the guy, he simply tells her “he’s great.” We soon learn through the other characters that Defne and Arman used to be an item, explaining the tension between them. ..
The submarine docks at an abandoned location, and the crew is not able to communicate with one another due to the water conditions. They need to find a way to dock so they can continue their journey.
Kenan’s video message left behind on Kos warns of the dangers of the sun and urges people to take this seriously. The batteries on the sub are only at 10% but a good ol’ kick helps to get the sub moving as they head off together, using the little sub, OYA, to arrive at Kos.
When they make it to shore, they’re shocked to find another sub surfacing, a behemoth that dwarfs their own little boat. The words “S-45” are written over the top. ..
The Episode Review
Netflix’s Into the Night is a series that brings with it an exciting and adrenaline-filled experience. However, the show definitely depicts the drama on a plane rather than a sub. This difference in speed will be interesting to see how this show handles that.
The showrunners have said that they want to tell a unique story with each episode, and it seems like this crossover could be the perfect way to do that. If the two shows can work together and create a believable world where they intersect, it could be an interesting experiment.
This article is about the potential future of the game, but it also includes a brief overview of what has already happened.
