The Golden Horde

First the series is already subtitled in English. Just accept the words might be different than you might expect. The maps are in Russian but after a while you understand the locations. The story line is about the Grand Prince of the Russia's and the Great Khan. Romance is included with good and bad. The problems within the Russians and Mongols own sides play into the story. Lots of bad events occur on bother sides as well as good. Not possible to out guess events. Enjoy the series for it is done well.

I loved this. It was a real surprise. The acting was fantastic and the actors were so charismatic. I could not stop watching. A fascinating glimpse of Russian history that I did not know, but somehow makes me understand Russia better now. The main love story between Nargiz and Prince Yaroslav was so touching, especially their final scene. Lots of interesting historical touches. I will say that the subtitles could be better. There were some strange word choices in these subtitles - like using the word "broad" to describe a women that you don't particularly take seriously. I think there are more modern alternatives.

This epic 16-part series gives a look at what happened two generations after Genghis Khan swept through what is now Russia and the lands of the Steppes. As long as you don't depend on it for historical accuracy, you won't be disappointed. Intrigue, action, romance, spirituality mingle with complex characters, sumptuous costumes, fine cinematography and acting, and a gorgeous soundtrack to make this an unforgettable period piece. A little improbably soapy at times, but extra points for very strong female characters, including Julia Stiles' doppelganger. We will watch it again.

Well done. Good acting. Just irritated that stopped at ep 16. Now what ? When comes Season 2 !?!?

Within 16 x 60 minute episodes there are two big story's, and a multitude of intertwined.

First story is of The High Prince of Russia, Yaroslav; second is a descendant of Genghis Khan, the cruel and sociopathic Berke.

There are at least three hot and attractive women who play a pivotal part and one who masquerades as a man to find her departed husband.

Not many large scale or pitched battles, but quite a bit of swordplay, and of course family and internecine squabbles.

All and all, a well made and acted series. Worth your time. Easy 9/10.
