What happens

Diriliş: Ertuğrul, translated as Resurrection: Ertuğrul, is a Turkish historical drama television series inspired by the life of Ertuğrul Bey, the father of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire. Created and produced by Mehmet Bozdağ under Bozdağ Films, the series originally aired on TRT 1 from 2014 to 2019. It portrays Ertuğrul’s leadership of the Kayı tribe amid political conflicts, warfare, and shifting alliances in 13th-century Anatolia. The series is the first installment in Bozdağ Film’s Ottoman saga, which continues with Kuruluş: Osman and Kuruluş: Orhan. The series was filmed in Riva, a village in the Beykoz district of Istanbul, Turkey, and premiered on TRT 1 in Turkey on 10 December 2014. The show aired for five seasons until 29 May 2019. It was written by Mehmet Bozdağ and directed by Metin Günay. Netflix streamed the show internationally from 2016-17 through 2023. The show has been well received in Turkey and other countries such as Pakistan and Azerbaijan, although several countries in the Arab world have banned the show and fatwas have been issued against it. The show has also been criticised for furthering a perceived political agenda for the government of Turkey. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
