Historical series have always played an important role on television. Throughout history, a huge number of various projects have been created. Some talked about medieval Europe, which is in constant conflict and war, while Russian directors, as a rule, filmed stories about famous personalities of the nineteenth century, which gave us a lot of new things. The Americans even affect both their history and the history of other countries, while they do all this much better than the rest.
When it comes to TV shows, the last thing that comes to our viewer is Turkey. Some do not even realize that there is already quite a long time there is its own cinema and films broadcast around the world. And if earlier they were designed exclusively for their audience, now Turkish series are popular in many other countries of the world.
Most of them work in the popular genre of melodrama, which has always been quite in demand. But recently, the Turks began to master many other areas. The series "The Magnificent Century. Empire Kesem", released two years ago, is one of the largest projects in the history of the country. They tried to display an entire era in it. As a result, we got a truly large-scale creation, which every fan of the historical genre must see. Reviews of the series "Kesem Sultan", the plot, the cast - all of this we will consider in the article.
Plot
The series "Kesem Sultan" the plot has a very exciting. Events take place at the very beginning of the seventeenth century. In the center of the plot is the story of Valide Safie the Sultan, by whose order the young and beautiful daughter of the Venetian merchant Anastasia was abducted. The young girl was presented as a gift to her grandson Valide - the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I.
Initially, the girl could not get used to such a serious change, as she missed her relatives and friends. But all her attempts to escape turned out to be a failure. Ultimately, Anastasia resigned herself to the fact that she was unlikely to be able to live without Ahmed. Gradually, she began to gain his trust and became a favorite. The girl was given a new name - Machpeaker, and then - Kyosem (the most beloved), under which she went down in history forever. Ahead of her will be truly amazing events that will leave an imprint on the fate of many people. One day the reins will fall into her fragile hands. Will Kesem cope with such a serious responsibility?
Series Features
As in many other historical films, the series "Kyosem Sultan" used various large-scale scenery, the creation of which took a lot of time and effort. Among other things, it is worth noting the costumes, thanks to which it was possible to convey the spirit of that old era.
The professionals of their field worked on the creation of the project, who did everything possible to survive the maximum from the series. Of course, even these efforts are not enough to surpass, for example, the American multi-million dollar historical epics. Nevertheless, the Turkish series "Kesem Sultan" looks more than worthy. With full confidence, we can say that our television people are still very far from this level. Directors and producers should learn from colleagues from Turkey who have proved that it is not necessary to spend huge amounts of money and create all kinds of PR studios to create a quality project.
By the way, recently the Turkish series "Kesem Sultan" began to be broadcast with us. Engaged in this is not the most popular channel "Home". Nevertheless, the series "Kesem Sultan" has some success in our country. Season 2 consists of 7 episodes, the first included 30 episodes.
Passion increases with each series. And to the last it is not clear how everything will end in the end. Keeps in tension throughout the series series "Kesem Sultan." Season 2 turned out even more outstanding than the first, viewers say. We will be watching with interest the development of events and hope that the creators of the picture will not disappoint.
"Kesem Sultan": directors
Given the international success of the television series, it was rather unexpected to learn that for many directors involved in the creation of this project, work on the series did become a debut in his career. But already here you can feel their signature style, which sets the tone for the entire series. Worked on the painting Zeynep Gunay, Mert Baikal, Yagyz Alp Akaydyn and others.
If they continue in the same vein, they will have a brilliant career. Perhaps they will even be noticed abroad and invited to work in other countries. This practice has become very popular in recent years. It is still unknown what projects these people will work on in the near future. So it remains to wait for any announcements or news about this.
"Kesem Sultan": actors
Actors and actresses in the series are also involved quite unknown. Some do not have experience in the cinema or on television. In some ways, it even benefited. Probably, well-known personalities are unlikely to be able to organically and naturally play difficult characters of past centuries. Many in this case would have gone into the expression inherent in the theater, but not in the least to cinema and television. Let's consider in more detail which actors were involved in the filming of the series "Kesem Sultan".
Gunesh Shensoi / Anastasia Tsilimpi / Beren Saat
These three actresses played the main role of Kösem-Sultan (Anastasia) from early youth to more mature years. Despite not the largest number of episodes in which they appear, all the actresses perfectly complement this story and brilliantly coped with their roles.
Nurgul Yeshilchay
She played the wife of Ahmed and the mother of numerous children who play a key role in the second half of this series. Perhaps the most memorable character in the entire series.
Demir Demirbash / Alper Burak Checker / Ekin Koch
These three people had a chance to play the role of Ahmed in different periods of his life: youth, adolescence, a mature personality. Until the middle of the series, this character was one of the main ones.
Viewers reviews about the series
As you would expect, the reviews for the Kesem Sultan series are warm and friendly. Spectators of countries such as England, America, Russia and Ukraine, took the picture just fine. The ratings (for obvious reasons) were far from the most impressive. But, given the exoticness of the producing country, even this can be considered a tremendous success. Reviews of the series "Kesem Sultan" are positive for the simply amazing game of the cast. Despite the small experience of all those who worked on the creation of the project, everything looks as professional and of high quality as possible.
It was thanks to the series "Kyosem Sultan" that Europeans learned about the existence of Turkish films and TV shows. In recent years, they can increasingly be found in our country. Popular public sites and sites are appearing that are entirely devoted to projects shot in this country. Maybe after five years, Turkey will be able to become one of the leading powers in this regard. At least now everything is clearly going to this.
If you still think that the Turks are not able to remove something intelligible, then we strongly recommend that you, having studied the reviews about the Kesem Sultan series, familiarize yourself with the picture itself. You will definitely be pleasantly surprised. Stereotypes about the fact that stories so untypical for European culture are unlikely to interest anyone will also be destroyed after watching the first series of Kösem Sultan, which will drag you from the very first series. Happy viewing!
