(11,581 posts)The title is lost in translation...nothing to do with "Resurrection" as in the biblical sense.
It is a Turkish series with English subtitles. There is so much action you won't even notice after a while.
The show is a dramatized account of the beginning of the Ottoman Empire. Lots of swordplay and horses. A group of over 40 horses that are being bred to be as close as possible to the original breed (extinct) is used.
The nomadic people are Muslims (also rather hybrid between a nomadic traditional background and adoption of Islam)--caught trying to preserve their ways between Mongols and Crusaders. Both menacing fronts are historical, as is the growing corruption within their own communities.
Netflix has 2 seasons with many episodes because the shows 2 hour episodes are broken into 4.
If you like Vikings, you will love this.
