I've watched many series in my life time and this is, one of my favorite shows.
1. This series is based on a true story, it has happened 500 years ego about a king that had a harem of 300 wife's, the scenes are rapid cuts and keeps you on the edge of your seat, and you can't wait for the next show.
2. The show has many great love stories to tell, like, the kings lovers, the sisters love lives that turns in to tragedy and all his children's love lives. Basically the story revolves around love stories and it's misery.
3. The scenery is beautiful, most of the filming is done in a beautiful palace across from the ocean and psychologically you feel you're there when you're watching the film.
4. I love the tranquility in the series, there is so much action and yet there is NOT any violence, you'll never see any blood! If, they are injured the blood is blurry. Even dough there are wars but the story revolves around the palaces, the loves and betrayal.
5. The Camera, scoring, shots, everything is perfection in this show. 6. Addictive to the max. 7. There are people that have watched all 380 episodes 4 times. P.s. I only watched it 2wice. I swear, :)

I am disappointed Netflix did not renew or continue.
While using subtitles in English this did not spoil for
one second the opulence of this series , well written
well acted and the sets were splendid. I would love
to see this series fully (since Netflix did not have all
seasons) or have the producers have DVD's available
with subtitles for the US for sale . A well done
Docusoapdrama which I would recommend to others
which in fact I did along with Dirilis Etugral .
Even Cardi B fell in love with the series but our Turkish men did not like it because it misrepresent the ottoman empire. Okay I agree with you. HOWEVER it doesnt change the fact that this show is perfect. Generally women love this show as it contains lots of plot, cabal.
Yes, it's the show that changed my life, my mood, my pattern of thinking, my lifestyle, my aim, my interests. I have no words in my mouth to give compliment this show. I'm just saying that, if I have to split my life in two part, I'll split it before watching Magnificent Century and after watching Magnificent Century.
To say I have been obsessed with this show for the past few months is to put it mildly:) I don't speak Turkish and my husband (who is Turkish) suggested we watch the first episode for fun and he would translate. Well
I am sure he was not so happy for that suggestion for the months that followed as we would watch almost every day and he would translate for me. Now we are half way through season two and we are still hooked! I love the overall feel of the show, the costumes the stories etc
yes it can be totally cheesy at times, but I think they did an amazing job. It is totally my guilty pleasure:) Now that there are episodes with Russian subtitles (which is a language I also speak) my husband is finally able to relax:) This may not be for everyone, but if you love history and period dramas, it is certainly entertaining and a great way to learn Turkish. Although I might sound like I am from the 15th century when I go to Istanbul this summer, my Turkish is definitely better and understand a lot more on my own now.
