I prefer the focus to be on the history than on the romance, this is where Mehmed Fetihlar Sultani wins over Bozdag’ short lived Orhan, & he is repeating the same mistake with a Seljuk love story, chronicle the history not the romance is what I’m interested in.

I will probably watch it despite my health issues (Long COVID) & the fact I am very cross with Mehmet Bozdag for massacring the Orhan Series with a ridiculous finale namely butchering his reputation as a good storyteller. Thank Allah we have Mehmet Fetihlar Sultani to compensate for his disaster.

Just watched the episode, Bozdag wanted to make it more romantic than historical, which is fine, but the ratings disagreed & ATV not being a charity decided to pull the plug on the project, it could have been great but Bozdag made his gamble & lost by confusing the audience, the ego battle between him & Burak O didn’t help, ah also about money pinching, I noticed most Bozdag series when they move on in the storyline & shed actors they do not show them in future instalments or seasons, unlike series like Mehmet Fetihlar Sultani show a more generous approach where previous actors get to be shown again through flashbacks, I think Bozdag is being punished by Allah for stinginess, he also most probably suffered some burnout, in a period where he lost his own father too, not easy. Rushed episode, like the last episode of Destan, will the pattern repeat & he gets cursed with the one season fate like Emre Konuk suffered too?

I am not finished, Bozdag should learn from the producers & team chronicling Mehmet Fetihlar Sultani, this is what is a good template for historical stories…

A great disappointment, like Destan which also lasted only one season, Bozdag has lost his touch, his best endeavour was Ertugrul, he capitalised on that with Osman, but it didn’t last & badly petered out with Orhan, I still watch these historic shows as they are an entertaining way of visiting past Turks history, but I do cringe when they fool around adding fictional characters & exaggerated story lines, for example trying to appeal to younger audiences ruined Orhan, if you make historical shows have the decency to try to stick to some minimum standards in chronicling ancient leaderships. The fate of the Seljuk series might be as short lived as Orhan & Destan if Bozdag keeps these story telling formulas.

Very disappointed the Orhan series will only last one season, the blame is squarely on Burak O & Mehmet B ego battles, when a team quarrels about what they do it disenfranchise the viewership, so they got very bad ratings as a result, & the series cancellation, I wonder who will take up the torch to give a dignified closure to Sultan Orhan chronicle, I think Bozdag got badly stung & turned his attention to chronicle the heydays of the Seljuk instead, I wonder if he will use the same character that played the Sultan Kurkubat in Ertugul, husband of actress who played Halime Seljuk, a solid choice as he played the role very well in Dirilis Ertugul. Sadly this still leaves a very bitter taste for me, but as I keep saying Muslims should not just be consumers but should act to please Allah & lift our Ummah from this paralysis we are in since the demise of the Muslim Caliphate with Sultan Abdulhamid II.

Please keep the credits rolling, otherwise the episode is incomplete.

I don’t mind ads if we also get the full credits, this is the only series where the end credits are cut off, why is that?

Please kindly allow the credits to finish as for the other series even if you have to graft them after this stupid advert on cola lemonades, which by the way are toxic for health, so clearly makruh or even haram… you are doing a disservice to those who pay Premium by imposing this stupid advert.

I am glad you incorporated Vefa Sultani of which I watched the first two episodes a while back, I will follow watching on here
