You just reminded me how awesome the wedding scenes were in the Diriliş: Ertuğrul TV show. [1]

Just hit this with the show "Diriliş: Ertuğrul". Seasons 1 and 2 had vibrant colors. Season 3 suddenly everything is desaturated and desparate feeling. Super annoying! Presumably GoT influence.
There is a a new turkish TV show rolling on Netflix - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4320258/ - https://www.netflix.com/title/80127001
It's called Dirilis: Ertugrul (Resurrection: Ertugrul) which is about the father of the Osman, the founder of the Ottoman empire. I'm watching it, ignoring all the overly muslim overtones, praise to God (Allah), songs, etc. It has some good moments, but AFAIK it's based on very little historic facts. But it's no coincidence that the TV show comes at the time Erdogan is the "ruler". The knight templars are showed as very incapable fighters, the Kiya tribe as universally good (with very few bad apples), but apart from that is watchable (was binging on it, while waiting for my wife to catch up on Stranger Things I, so we can watch together II).
But I'm also watching it, just to see how things are portrayed from this side, since I've been told stories completely the other way (I'm bulgarian, so our history, myths & legends are all about ottoman repression, which was even called slavery while I was growing up, but recently the schoolbooks are changing that).
Then few days ago, someone mentioned that this show is in contrast how Islam was portrayed with another Turkish show released just few years before it, (also available on Netflix- https://www.netflix.com/title/80089596 - that's supposed to tell another story, but I guess without Erdogan's propaganda).
I still can't bear, the fact how his bodyguards beat so many people just recently, and nothing really happened after that... Here in the US.
