While bingeing[B] Yakamoz S-245[/B], I learned it was a companion piece in the same timeline as the earlier [B]Into the Night[/B] series. Both deal with a solar flare that has turned the Sun into a death ray - exposure to sunlight kills anything and everything. Yakamoz mostly takes place on a submarine, while Into the Night follows a plane trying to outrun sunrise and an underground bunker in Bulgaria. Yakamoz was a 7-episode Turkish production while ITN was Belgian and lasted 2 seasons of 6 episodes each.

I thought the Turkish series had better acting, particularly the three leads, while Into the Night featured some cardboard characters and obvious stereotypes, but both series were easy to follow, plot lines moved quickly, and for the most part, was an enjoyable ride.

Taken as a whole, you've basically got Tommyknockers meets The Day the Earth Caught Fire meets Das Boot meets The Lost Ship wrapped up in a Rashomon package. I imagine there's room for other series based on the same premise.
