I'm prolly the only one who couldn't stand Hayme. The character should've been gone early into season 2. Instead we got to see her turn against Ertugrul multiple times. Get indignant with Halime literally anytime she tried to speak up. Not even having enough "motherly" care to tell Halime when Candar wanted Ertugrul to marry Aslihan. When the tribe split and Hayme chose to leave with Gundogdu I hoped that was the last time we would see her, but nope we get more classic scenes of her criticizing Halime's parenting and forcing her presence everywhere. And let me not forget how she did poor Gocke dirty, promising to marry Erturgrul to her, then going back on her word and making it somehow Gocke's fault!!

Anyways Selcan was always my fav, even she she was evil, lol

Starting KO from season 3 and wondering how did the quality get so bad by the time Bozdag gave us KOr? Mert's casting is even more of a head scratcher after watching Burak. His screen-presence and delivery makes even the more ridiculous scenarios in KO seem realistic.

In KO we see Osman holding and interacting with his infant son with a balance between leading the tribe and managing his family. And don't get me started on how the writers treated the 2nd wife scenario...despite some petty behavior from Malhoun, overall both wives are given quality scenes with Osman and are shown actually working in the tribe and Sogut. In KO'r what exactly did the women do all day? What happened to the famous Kayi carpet weaving that was so integral to the financial success of the tribe since Ertugrul? Who was actually managing the day to day running of the tribe while they're all at the castle walking around literally doing nothing.

When Bala and Malhoun are attacked by Castilians, Osman doesn't go running off to chase some forest bandits, he sends his alps to deal with them. Meanwhile Orhan spent 85.9% of KOr chasing after Asporca instead of focusing on building the state

I legit thought that the characters of Muhsin and Mahin as the personal guard of Sultan Mehmet were both mutes and unable to speak and betray anything they heard while in the Sultan's presence when sensitive conversations were held. Hearing them talk in this episode threw me off!

WTH is up with Iraz glazing OrAs and smirking so disrespectfully at Nilufer as if she isn't also the Sultan's wife?? What a joke this show is. Historical Orhan deserved much better, the actor's (except Alina) deserved better and the fans who have stuck by this franchise for over a decade deserved much, much better. Hopefully some other producer plans a better series dedicated to Sultan Orhan
