I'm just watching this action series on an entertainment perspective and it has all the fundamentals like bravery, solid story, good acting, good fight scenes, lots of palace intrigues though I didn't like the quarrels and jealousy amongst the palace ladies too much. I still have lots of memories from Kosem series which was very enjoyable then but I didn't want a repeat. The balance of political events, wars and romance is good. Bugra Gusoy as Sultan Melik Shah and Ekin Koc as Sencer are really good choices.
