As a Turkish person i thought that it is really non-sided and great everything was good the costumes the acting the special effects the battle sequences there was some flaws of course i thought Guistiniani had more screen time than it should have and Aksemsettin was not present in the show at all (he was always with Sultan he was his teacher and mentore he convinced the Mehmed to capture the city when Mehmed thought of giving up) other than that it was great i recommend you to watch it it feeds you with information. The both empires were great; Ottoman and Byzantium. In this Tv serie there might be some problems about historical reality... I mean we cannot consider the tv serie is a historical documentary. But as a tv serie it was good. As a Turk, I believe all countries make movies or tv series that their army so great, so mercy and so strong. Yes it is good to watch if you are a nationalist and your nationality so great in the movies. But we should of course know the reality. If we can't see the reality we can't be friend. I see all countries find bad stories about their enemies. Actually governments like it, because nationalism is a key for strong governments. In real we are just humans, we cant decide that which nationality we can have. So there are two type peoples. Bad people and good people.

It's not a TV show but it isn't a docu. It's a weird combination of both of them and I didn't like it so much. It could be a excellent TV show or docu but not if it's mixed. First time I saw something like this.

I am the biggest fan of Sultan Mehmet The Conqueror. His ability to Conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) is greater than ever. Everyone failed to Conquer Constantinople (Istanbul), but Mehmet did his best to conquer this beautiful city. Those who don't know about this great man can watch this show.

Loved it. Trakt is missing season 2 episodes
