S1 done.
E5 got celestially auspicious with a blood moon and lightning striking the main temple, the largest building in the world at the time. The conquest of Constantinople was prophesied with the name of Constantine and his mum so why would they even adopt those names if the prophesy said they would bring the fall.
E6 season finale - the inevitable conquest is achieved in a bloody final assault. It marks the fall of the Roman Empire and the first time in history when cannons defeated walls. Sad to see the fate of some mighty warriors but satisfying to watch some of the traitorous ones meet their fate. Mehmed claims the throne (not a spoiler considering it’s part of recorded history over a half millennia old). I assume season two will be about the expansion of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. I’ll check that out next year.
The production values are decent overall and the balance between reenactment and expert talking heads worked well for me. D00M recommended.
