Kudüs Fatihi: Selahaddin Eyyubi

It's obvious the kurds will be upset and will give a low rating because the fact is Salahuddin Ayyubi was a kurdish hailed from a kurdish family. Raised by Nur ud din Zengi RA. The music I can agree with its a let down.. alparsalan layer down the benchmark for the music, the show even though is created by The same creators. I also believe even though I have not been the region where it filmed shows far too much greenery where I believe should be more sand mountains than anything. NO SHOW will ever capture u like Ertugrul did.. but still in these time of need to muster up courage. Still a decent watch.

Well well after a long wait of 2 years, it's finally here and it did not disappoint! From the spectacular scenes and Arab vibe, to the great cast, everything is spot on! The BGM is also great. I just hope they can add better ones. But overall it's great and I believe it can eventually compete with series such KO and UBS. For those who are complaining that they didn't refer the character as Kurdish are just hating for no reason. Just watch the series and enjoy it! There is a few fictional scenes but that's common among all series to contain suspense. Overall it's great so far and I hope they can do even better!

As an Iranian, I watched the whole series, and I can say that this show exposes historical distortions used for political propaganda - such as not mentioning that Saladin was of Kurdish origin, or portraying the Grey Wolves as Saladin's allies, even though they didn't exist at the time. Despite these issues, the storytelling in the series is really good, and I enjoyed it. Saladin's character development is very well-crafted and keeps the audience engaged. Even the Crusaders in Jerusalem are portrayed in a way that makes you sympathize with them, and personally, my favorite character in the series is Balian. Overall, I recommend watching this series - just don't expect it to be historically accurate.

Salahuddin Ayubi is perhaps one of the greatest Islamic history which is also recognised by the West. However Türk Pak joint production tv serial simply could not match the greatness of an important chapter of history. Very weak script, poor acting, unimpressive characters, below average production. The script is childish. It is mainly impressed by ertugrul serial so it failed to create its own identity. Not a single character could click. Totally flop serial, waste of time. Ertugrul and Usman serial have left very high bench mark of performance, Salahuddin serial is not even close to that standard. It's better to read a book on Salahuddin Ayubi rather wasting time on this serial.

No doubt Salahudin Ayyubi is a great historical figure who lived a great life and even his enemies admired him but this show is clearly not a representation of that. It is a very small scale production with poor visual effects and a lack luster repetitive story line which has no depth. What covers most of the episodes is a hand full men chasing each other and fighting in the same locations even the sets are not that good and more importantly it is not even historically accurate. How can you justify 10 to 20 people conquering cities and a sultan who has 20 soldiers who guard the defenses of Damascus. Another thing is that most of the main characters are shown to wear no caps to cover their heads, however this was a necessity in the old times specially in the people of that region. In fact even the Sultan Nurredin has been shown not wearing his crown for more then a dozen episodes. There is no detailing and the characters have been shown wearing the same dresses for almost the whole season.

All of this show highlights the small scale and the small budget of this series. Instead watching this it is better to read a book to learn the legacy of Sultan Selahudin Ayuubi rather than watching this fictional disgrace.
