Many people reviewed the visual effects to be great for this movie. The acting of the main actors is especially good considering the fact that almost whole cast is Turkish and the series is in English language. The accents are in fact realistic, not typical Hollywood 'Middle Eastern' or 'Eastern European' accents that are mostly used to depict Turkish characters.
Furthermore, I am impressed with the historical accuracy of the events and how they were dramatised for the average viewers from the rest of the world who may not be so keen on Turkish&Greek History. Yes, critics rightly pointed out the fact that some important figures are left out altogether from the show. However, the most crucial ones are indeed in the show.
Furthermore, some of the conversional debates have been left out which could be interesting to examine. For instance, the fact that Sultan Mehmet could have been a Christian and considered himself the 'New Roman Empire' and was buried based on his last wish to be buried next to Constantine.
Apart from that, everything is great in this show. You will not only learn history, you will enjoy the show !
score 10/10
