As per Netflix, the synopsis for 10 Days of a Good Man reads:

Based on a novel of the same name written by Mehmet Eroglu, 10 Days of a Good Man is reportedly the first installment of a trilogy. The three books in the series are named Ten Days of the Good Man, Ten Days of the Bad Man, and Ten Days of the Curious Man.
10 Days of a Good Man unfolds in the largest city of Turkey
As per reports, principal photography for 10 Days of a Good Man began in September 2021 and the team called it a wrap in October of the same year. The mystery film is set entirely in its native country, with the team utilizing the Turkish city of Istanbul as the only shooting location.
Known as the economic, cultural, and historic hub of Türkiye or Turkey, Istanbul was also the principal location for the recently Academy Award-nominated movie, Aftersun.
Other noted productions that have happened in the city include The Swimmers (2022), Rise of Empires: Ottoman (2020–2022), Murder on the Orient Express (2017), Skyfall (2012), The Equalizer 2 (2018), and The Night Manager (2016).
Istanbul is the most populous city in Europe and attracts tourists all year round. Reports state that one can tour the entire place on a shoestring budget amounting to $36 per person each day.
Some of the top tourist attractions of the city include:
- Galata Tower
- Istanbul Archeological Museum
- Chora Church
- Basilica Cistern
- Prince’s Island
- Dolmabahce Palace
- Grand Bazar
- Topkapi Palace
- Blue Mosque
- Hagia Sophia
Interestingly, among the over 50 museums that dot the city, Topkapi Palace is the most visited one and brings in more than $30 million in revenue each year.
Boasting a moderate climate all year round, the city is, however, at its best from mid-April to June and September to October.
Home to numerous UNESCO heritage sites and several Turkish companies, Istanbul contributes 30% to Turkey's industrial output, 31% to GDP, and 47% to tax revenues.
Once in Istanbul, visitors love to shop for carpets, tea-coffee sets, lamps, clothes, ceramics, jewelry, spices, and sweets.
