The series "The Last Janissary"
The idea of ​​this project arose among the producers in the wake of the popularity of the main character “While the Village Sleeps” - the clever and charming intriguer Marysi Sotnik. Such a plot decision allowed the creators of the project not only to use the scenery and best practices from an earlier series, but also to invite most of the actors to return to their roles.
Initially, it was planned that the "Last Janissary" would be as successful as "While the village is sleeping." Therefore, many famous artists were invited, and the length of the project was to be 270 (according to other versions of 255) episodes.
However, the expectations did not materialize and the series began to rapidly lose its audience, which is why many famous actors of the film "The Last Janissary" (2015) began to leave the project.
The number of episodes was reduced by half - to 115. Moreover, the final remained open, which inspired the audience with hope for continuation. However, at the moment, the creators of the series have not confirmed that they will ever shoot a sequel.

In addition, earlier it was predicted that from the warrior, whom he could not defeat, the ruler of the empire would be born. Gulkhan realizes that this warrior is Marysya and is trying with all his might to make her his wife.
However, the girl herself falls in love with the servant of a noble Turk - a Janissary named Altanbey. The Cossack girl feels that her lover is not indifferent to her, therefore she is determined to fight for her happiness.
Meanwhile, in Istanbul, the sultan learns that Altan is the illegitimate son of his brother Mustafa, and since he is older than Gulkhan, he is a real contender for the throne.
In the future, the heroes are waiting for numerous adventures, and each of them will have to face a choice: love, duty or power.
Project feedback
Having examined briefly the plot of the series, it is worth to find out the audience reviews about “The Last Janissary”.

As for the characters, most of all went to the main character - Altan Bey. He is either loyal to his duty, now crazy about Maryse, then he must give his head off for clipping, just to stay on the throne.
Despite the many shortcomings, the love stories in the tape liked the audience the most. And many (judging by the reviews) only for their sake endured all the absurdities of the project.
In addition to Altan and Marysi, Iskander and Anna were a favorite pair of viewers. Also, many were worried about the fate of handsome Gulkhan and devotee Maryse Yermolai.
Of the female characters, the audience especially liked Aigul, Lydia, Zuleika and the insidious sister of Sultan Deniz.
