This is a wonderful series. I cannot wait for the second season . The actors' performance is absolutely amazing. The scrlpt is very well written. The locations where the series was shot is totally stunning. The script has some great lines that touch one's soul and make you ponder about one's own life. Overall, the series is worth watching and deserves a solid 8.

This is a film difficult to watch without feeling for the victims upon whom so much violence was inflicted. The film tells about factual and yet mostly unknown parts of. WW2 which happened on Croatian soil by some Croations who contributed to the Nazi crimes during the war. The scenes of merciless violence would shock anyone deeply. Still there are people tring to survive the terror giving us hope about humanity. All throughout the film, I pondered about the question of crime, punishment and justice. I wonder if any of the perpetrators were brought to justice and how they could live their lives after inflicting so much pain. I personally think the film honestly tried to shed some light into the darkness of a part of history: However, it had some flaws in script and I found it excessively deamatic at some scenes. The ratings given to the film are quite exaggerated for reasons I think I understand. Finally, I can say this is a decent film about human vice and virtue. It is totally worth watching.

I sincerely believe more and better films or series should come about Turkish history. Ottoman Rising has successfully tried to depict a certain period of Turkish history. The cinematography suits the demands of the plot quite well. The plot serves the probable goals of the director quite well. The soundtrack suitably adds to the artistic effect of the series. The acting is quite good; especially that of the Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror. All in all, I would highly recommend this series for the lovers of history who are after a balanced and objective depiction of the past.
