| Kürsat Alniaçik as Ural Bey |
We've been watching Season 3 of Diriliş: Ertuğrul (English: "Resurrection: Ertugrul") on Netflix. We're up around episode 30 or so and Ural Bey, the scheming, low down, lying dog is finally going to get his comeuppance. Or is he? His father dies just about as he is about to lose his head and due to -something-, the execution is postponed. Of course it is. If Ural dies now we will lose our favorite villain (boo! hiss!).
The trial is pretty decent for the 13th century in a Muslim country. We have a judge, evidence is presented and people on both sides of the dispute are allowed to have their say. From what we see in the trial, there is not enough to convict anybody, at least according to current crime show standards, but Ural is convicted anyway, which is a relief because we, who have been privy to all his clandestine meetings and nefarious scheming, know he is as guilty as sin.
The whole show, trial and all, reminds me of nothing so much as the clown show going on in in the U.S. Congress, i.e. the persecution of Trump by the Democrats.
The difference is we know Ural is guilty, because our hero, Ertuğrul, is on the side of truth, beauty and justice. That's why I watch Netflix instead of the news: the stories are one sided, clear as a bell and the truth is obvious.
Well said! Netflix over news forever!
ReplyDeleteIm so upset that they prove he did not kill governor. Yet no one mentions that he was still guilty of burning the rugs and killing the alps. No says a thing. And should still be executed!
ReplyDeleteExactly I was saying the exact same thing he should have been killed anyway for just burning the rugs and killing the Alps the show is so awesome
Deleteexactly I was saying the exact same thing he should be killed anyway for the initial crime of burning the rugs the governor is just extra

ReplyDeletei like the story very much. politics, betrayals , suspense.and many more
ReplyDeletebut the fighting is somehow unrealistic.
Yes, the fighting is not very realistic. I think it's basically a live action play with a script written by the survivors. 'There we were, four brave warriors surrounded by a hundred infidels, but Allah was with us and we slaughtered them all'.
