The problem is that the show rather concentrates on the dramatic storyline, so historical facts aren't that important, otherwise it would be called a documentary series, which definitely wouldn't be the main goal of the creators.
Also, as the series are Turkish-made, the historical view is too one-sided, however, they forget that the rights of broadcasting the series are sold to countries where the Ottoman Empire had influence on their history, just to gently say :D]]>Comment by alitta22015-07-13T22:28:59-07:00Comment by Saltwater2015-07-13T20:30:21-07:00Comment by Falconlobo2015-07-13T20:25:38-07:00Comment by Saltwater2015-07-13T19:39:57-07:00

but from what I have read here and there,
it seems that historical accuracy is not their priority, to say the least. .... ;-)]]>Comment by TeeJay872015-07-10T10:48:34-07:00
Yesterday they showed on our TV the episode from season 1, where Suleiman was hunting with his son Mustafa while the Janissaries made uprising in Constantinople. When I saw Suleiman's hunting rifle, I don't know why but it looked like customized Mauser Gewehr 98 with added flintlock mechanism - 20th century rifle with 18th century action mechanism in 16th century (between 1525 and 1529). Those, who don't know about firearms, won't notice that, but for me it looks like Timur Savci's attempt to fool watchers of his series.]]>Comment by alitta22015-07-09T22:36:41-07:00
Didn't know about the fact that Filiz Ahmet is Half-Macedonian anyway. Might happen that is the reason why she can play Nigar Khalfa's role authentically, as her character also understands a kind of slavic language because she could read the diary of Hurrem's former boyfriend (I guess it was in season 1, or the early episodes of season 2, I don't remember).]]>
