I’ll jump in here to mention The Magnificent Century also on Netflix. I’m trying to quit watching but some how can’t. It is Turkish with English Sub titles

It is the story of Suleiman the Magnificent and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire. To my disappointment, the series is Turkish soap opera set in the Harem of Topkapi palace in constantinople. The man had one wife but several concubines that are a wonder to behold. They are all cooped up in splendor and excess and have nothing to do but war with each other.

There is from time to time some serious mention of the world diplomacy and the real war of sovereign competition and trade. However, the harem prevails for most of the minutes.

It is a very lavish TV production that portrays Islam in a manner ISIS would hate

I have watched some of the MIdsummer series but I sometimes got to sleep aqnd then don’t know who dunit

BOL! My wife has the same problem if we start watching on at or later than 8pm.

So we try watch them about mid afternoon.

My son and I watched “The Last Kingdom” on Netflix. It was extremely well done.
