Dirilis: Ertugrul

I have seen many series and movies but this was by far the greatest acting, fighting scenes, love stories and the love of their religion put me to shame with my own. I am more determined to speak to my God and let others see him through me! I am thrilled at seeing a Turkish film of their history and everyday life then and I am sure now. Thank you for producing this and thank you Netflix for airing this fine historical series. I hope to see more from Turkey and help me to understand and learn their culture.

Best TV series ever made, absolutely mind blowing I can't praise this enough, some great acting and a very long series but when 5 seasons have finished you will be yearning for more.

This is series worth watching. The storyline is excellent, every episode end in a cliffhanger making you watch the next, again and again and again. The only reason I did not give it 10 stars is the english subscripts that is not good, a lot of spelling and grammatical errors, but despite this, you can follow the series easily. What I enjoyed, was to see a world portrayed from the Muslim side. As a Christian it made me think that we should rather look at the similarities between the Christian believe and the Muslim believe, than the differences, and start from there. The underlying values seems to be very much the same. It is a long series, but definitely worth watching.

Netflix suggested I watch this based on having watched The Last Kingdom and other sword costume sagas. I was expecting a show that was cheesy and predictable by western standards. Instead I was impressed by the plot twists and the manly heroism of the earthy, charismatic Ertugrul, a total bad ass warrior. I'm still in the middle of it and have found myself strangely hooked by the catchy Turkish theme music, the beautiful Halime, and Turkish tribe politics.

My sons and I have been watching this show for a month now. We watch a couple of episodes a night. Being a Roman Catholic and also my love for history this show is excellent. No one was perfect, the Crusaders did was they thought was right, the Mongols and their dreams, but the Turks were fighting for their very existence and a land to settle. This show has everything and Hayme Ana looks so much like my late mother that at times I cannot hold back my tears. Enjoy this wonderful production.
