Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu (2021)
Alright
This show got up to a good start. However after episode 7 it started getting repetitive. First and foremost I want to say that this show looks amazing. The way it is shot and everything about the sets are amazing. The music and the costumes all immerse you in the world.
Secondly, the characters, more specifically the ALPS, are the most annoying and useful characters in the show. They did not need to be there and could have been replaced by alp arslan brothers or something else. Nothing made me care for them and I skipped there bits.
They went away from history which is fine but these Turkish shows always glamorise the hero. They make other characters bad to make the hero look very good. Alp arslan has the front line and no one else. It is annoying that no one else is built up and developed.
The ending was good I liked it. But would have been better if I didn't have to spend 27 episodes, all nearly 2 hours and 30 minutes long finishing it. With a lot of them just useless and filler plots.
7/10
Alright.
Kurulus: Osman (2019)
Repetitive
This show is a copy and paste of ertegul. The characters are boring. Characters like samsa and gunduz wife leaving without no reason is weird. It's repetitive and the same thing again and again. The worst show ever. Nothing original the villains are generic all the build up just for osman to trash them and honestly it leaves me angry. Poor
The Empire (2021)
Good show
In my eyes this show lacked structure. It follows a simple narrative and tells a good story however the pacing is off and things just happen. You never see the effect they have or really see the aftermath at all. However I do think that it is entertaining and engaging. It is not a documentary, but a tv show so some aspects are made up.
This show is still good and enjoyable. The costumes and sets are amazing I think. Some characters had some really good debt in them and i was interested to see more.
In the end I recommend this show. It is good at what is does and gives you a brief 8 episode drama that you can enjoy.
I hoped they showed Babur as a ruthless person and not like a perfect nice guy and I hoped shaibani was shown as the Islamic person he was.
But still it's good.
Trust me
I hope they improve the fight scenes in the next season.
Destan: Episode #1.9 (2022)
Best episode so far
This episode is probably the most entertaining episode in all of Turkish historical dramas. It had multiple themes and exciting and emotional scenes. No character is good or bad they are both. All entertaining and fun to watch. The story telling is absolute and so different to osman or Seljuks.
Best episode so far. I'm happy that they show emotion of certain characters. This one felt like a movie.
Tip: don't watch the trailers. They Ruin the episodes plot.
9/10.
Destan: Episode #1.1 (2021)
Very Refreshing
The writing and quality is amazing. This show is very different to other Turkish shows and is something new. I hope the quality is kept and its a short series with multiple twists and turns. I love the story and character and setting.
Amazing.
Uyanis: Büyük Selcuklu (2020)
Amazing
This show is what osman and ertegul could never do. Amazing writing and I hope they show the death of melikshah and all that but I recommend this. Easily the best Turkish show ever. It made me cry and exited for the next episode. Can't wait for season 2.
Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu: Episode #1.7 (2021)
Boring
This episode focuses on Alp Arslan and it fails to engage me. It is very boring and predictable. Alp Arslan is glorified in expense of other important characters. Several things don't make sense and the quality has gone down. Turkish dramas tend to drop quality as they go on because of the fact that they are too long.
This episode falls into the trap of basic story telling. Very boring and repetitive. They strayed away from history and are now coming up with their own and its not working for me.
Very disappointing.
Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu: Episode #1.2 (2021)
Another Good Episode
The battle in the start was very good. Even afterwards the episode grabbed me in and kept me intrigued. The star of the show was the sultan as his bits were the most interesting. The Ghazanavid scenes are very good as well. However the replacement of Hassan Sabbah in this series is very annoying and useless. It is were the show is weakest and boring. However this episode is saved by its good plot and story telling. If they stick to history it will be a good show.
Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu: Episode #1.1 (2021)
Solid First Episode
This episode introduced us to the characters and gave us a new refreshing opening. The story is exciting and the quality is very high. The ending of this episode is also very good. As a whole, i think its a good episode however as always the alps of the main character are very annoying and not done well.
It is shot well and I am interested to see where the show will go.
Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu: Episode #1.6 (2021)
Another Interesting episode
This episode kept me intrigued and excited through out. It is an enjoyable episode and built up towards the ending. The villain scenes were not boring and the Sultan scenes were still the best to watch. As always the Alps are very useless and made of paper. This episode did well to hook me in and i was satisfied with the ending. However choosing to go against history and have the Sultan pick Alp Arslan and not Sulyman is for me not a good choice. I think it is useless and it would have been better if Sulyman was picked.
Overall I think the episode was very good. And i hope they keep the quality up.
Mendirman Jaloliddin (2021)
Alright
Nothing special. Can watch this if you want to be entertained but provides nothing new. I like the fact that its short. Stuff happens quick. The characters are well done but as always the villain lacks character and bore the hell out of the audience.
In the end i think its alright.
Uyanis: Büyük Selcuklu (2020)

Barbaroslar: Akdeniz'in Kilici: Episode #1.1 (2021)
Good
Great first episode. Action is not as good as the other Turkish series and cgi is very mid. But the story is engaging and unique. This is only Turkish show that has actual comedy. The acting is good. Slow start in my opinion but gradually improved and ended on a good twist. Just hope they keep the quality up.
Black Mass (2015)
Good
I personally enjoyed it. The acting was great and it was for me very interesting. Probably not what people are expecting but i recommend it.
