Review of 1001 Nights

The story is worth watching for the three things; the character of Onur Aksal, his love for Seherezade and the main lesson the series projects that redemption for sin is impossible without repentance and forgiveness. Sherezade, a young, fatherless widow gets a new husband and a repentant father in law, her cursed past is turned into a blessed future. The plot and action is interesting until episode 45, beyond there, the action stalls. The series should have stopped at episode 66, to avoid re-using old plots and themes. The final 10 episodes didn't do justice to either the couple or the audience, and I ponder if it was really a necessity to expose that sinful night the couple spent together when it was already long forgotten and the two of them married with children from their previous relationships. The series will nevertheless keep you watching till you reach the very end!
