I thought it was a beautifully crafted series, the actors, even the youngsters were so natural and I think the director did a great job getting the best out of them.
The other point of interest was the Islamic values that I got to learn from the teaching of people like Ibn e Arabi who bring out the true meaning of the Quran and how a gud Muslim, be it ruler or common man should live their lives.
There was no Overacting except maybe some scenes did get a bit stretched for economic reasons, after all the producers also have to make money.
Overall I think every Muslim should see it to understand how the real Islam was carried forward by good rulers.
