I started watching this thinking it had some historical accuracy. The entire series was a soap opera with catty woman fighting to get into the Sultan's bed. I watched until episode 15 and finally decided not to waste anymore time. Unfortunately, some will watch this series and think it's based on fact and that's just shameful. You would think with all the money spent on making a film, it would at least have some accuracy. Shameful to say the least. The acting was ok except for Meryem Uzerli. Not sure if it was intentional, but her turkish was just awful. Her acting skills made it even harder to watch.
