I know you have been inactive for years but do you watch the new Mehmed series by TRT?

Nope, I do not touch any historical show made by TRT by default and do not intend to change it as long as E*rdogan is in power.

History Week Meme | Day 5: one man → Mehmed the Conqueror

“The conquest of Constantinople gave the Ottoman Empire a capital city at the juncture of its European and Asian territories, securing the Straits which linked the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Through his victory, Mehmed acquired spiritual prestige as the conqueror of the city foretold in Muslim eschatological tradition, and secular glory as heir to the throne of the Caesars. Furthermore with his appointment of George Scholarios — a prominent anti-unionist cleric — as Patriarch, he asserted his primacy over the Greek Orthodox Church. It is for his conquest of the city that Mehmed II remains famous, but it was only the beginning of the incessant warfare that marked his reign.” - Colin Imber; The Ottoman Empire

“In his thirty years in power Sultan Mehmed had fought eighteen campaigns in person. The Ottoman Empire which he created was an extensive mass of land and sea which sat at the hub of the great trading networks of the time. Moribund and depopulated, Byzantine Constantinople had been remade as the flourishing capital of territories that included the Balkan peninsula as far as the Adriatic in the west, the Danube-Sava line in the north, and most of Anatolia. The Black Sea coast marked a relatively safe frontier beyond which there were at this time no states capable of threatening Ottoman power. Rivals still threatened to east and west, but within the limits of Mehmed’s state a pax ottomanica brought a measure of internal security which was disturber only by localized brigand activity on land and corsairs at sea.” - Caroline Finkel; Osman’s Dream: The History of the Ottoman Empire

Mehmed Bir Cihan Fatihi - trailer with English subtitles for episode 6 (final)

[fatihdaily]

I am honestly not surprised it got canceled. The series was good and tried to be accurate but it was too dry for general viewer ship that wasn't exactly interested in history. Turkish viewers like drama and death and blood and love stories

Honestly, we doubt that it was because it was “too dry”, considering that all four of us went into this show excited for the history aspect, and ended up disappointed—the show had many issues, which Joanna listed here.
