Shamaran season 2

 Back to back with the first season, me and Noshi dived in to watch more of this turkish fantasy romance.

And with Shamaran starting to awaken in Shashu and Lilith coming out of her well to get her vengeance, it looks like it will go up a notch.

And that it does right from the get go.  Maran's father Ural and his siters are slaughtered by the re-awakened Lilith, leaving him all alone and full of rage.  In the meantime, Lilith's followers gather as well, but Maran sniffs out Cihan's father as the murderer of one of his sisters, killing him as well in return.  

This causes Cihan to turn fully to Lilith, who wants to bring down Maran and Shashu by turning the basilisk people against them.  They both go into hiding in the basilisk area of the city, where the people are exploited in the local factory, working in bad and dangerous conditions.  Mirac fights mostly against this injustice, as a sort of union man, not caring to which side this means he must attach his fate.

But in order to awaken Shamaran, Shashu must undergo 3 trials, each at a personal loss of her own.  She accepts this fate, knowing it might be the only way to save humanity from her sister who is out to avenge the wrongs done to their people, caused in the far past by Camsap, who resides in Shashu's grandfather.  

Through her actions, Lilith even manages to create a revolt amongst the basilisks, something stopped by Shashu.  She revives Maran's youngest sister Diba as an assassin for her older brother, the attempt nearly succeeding but Shashu, awakening the power of Shamaran, prevents him from dying but costing him his snake part of his being.  Now a mortal, he never the less tries to fulfill the destiny still.  Camsap is finally freed from his curse, only to be immediatly killed by Lilith.

This means the cycle is broken, and the trials will end.  But Shashu / Shamaran sees one more way to restart the cycle after she seals her sister away again.  She allows herself to be awakened at last, and lures mr Mesut, Mirac's boss, to find her.  Terminally ill, he wants to slay her to gain the cure from her tale, and she allows this to happen before the eyes of a grief stricken Maran.  Maran was tricked by her into leading Mesut to her place, restarting the cycle a new, but poor Maran now having become the new Camsap as he who let the humans to Shamaran's hideout and causing her to be killed...

So that was a pretty good second series, and I really loved the conclusion and the all but happy ending this series has.  A very good Netflix find!
