TV fans just love seeing unlikely killers, whether they’re meek professionals or usually-nondescript people who get sucked into the darkness and find a new side of them. A new Turkish thriller Fatma on Netflix goes down that road; only the unlikely killer is a 35 year-old cleaning lady. Fatma Yýlmaz (Burcu Biricik), a seemingly shy woman who cleans people’f0 s homes and offices in Istanbul, is on edge because her husband Zafer (Ferit Kaya) has gone into hiding after being released from prison. Every time her phone rings, she picks it up thinking it’s him. She goes to a restaurant where some of his associates hang out, but her landlord Ismail (Deniz Hamzaoðlu) warns her off, telling her that everyone knows Zafer and doesn’t want to see him darken their door again. One of the things she needs to do when Zafer returns is tell him that their son, Oðuz (Mustafa Konak), who has special needs, died before the end of Zafer’s prison term. She’s cleaning the office of Zafer’s former boss Bayram Karadað (Yýlmaz Ak), whom she thinks knows where Zafer might be. He’s tired of answering her questions about Zafer, but does say that he owes a local thug some money, which might be why he’s hiding. She goes back to his office after he leaves and eyes the money and gun in the open safe.
