I am 78 year old Canadian woman. I just adored this show. I loved the characters, especially Bamsi, Turgut, Dogan, Artuk Bey, Abdurraman , Mother Hayme, Halime and of course Ertugrul Bey. I watched every bit of the sword fights, and loved seeing all the Kayi alps gallopping around the steppe or off to war on their horses. I found all the plots most exciting, especially when they broke into the Templars' castle and killed all the evil Templars. Their struggle with the Mongols was thrilling and Noyan was easy to hate.
I learned a great deal about Islam and I just loved Ibn Arabi whose ideas and philosophy I admired. I have watched Osman Kurulus on youtube but it is not as good as watching on Netflix. The Turks have a history to be very proud of.
