Dubbed by many as the Turkish ‘Game of Thrones”, Resurrection: Etrugrul has made a name for itself especially in 2019.

The show is based on the story of Muslim Oghuz Turk tribes starting in the region around Anatolia, which is modern day Turkey. The show centers around one particular tribe, the Kayi Tribe who are nomads in the region. The lead character, Ertugrul who is played by Engin Altan Duzaytan is of course, a fearless, chivalrous man of strong character who won’t back down from his morals and principles. He continually struggles for justice in the face of hardships and tries his best to maintain his tribe’s traditions in the face of evolving challenges.


Historically, Ertugrul was the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. Not much is known about the actual life of Ertugrul, but the one in this series provides for some captivating inspiration and action for all the viewers to enjoy.

Other than action, the show is also fairly historically accurate as it makes references to actual events that were happening at that time. So one just might become interested in the history of that area and the geopolitics of that time after watching this show.


One of the reasons Ertugrul has become so popular is that it appeals to a wide range of viewers. It has all the elements, adventure, drama, suspense, romance and a lot of action. Other than that, the sceneries and landscapes are often breathtaking and the way the life of the Turkic Nomad tribes is shown is intriguing. The way they dress, move about their daily lives and what they eat is always a treat to watch.

The show has ended with 5 seasons available on Netflix. A sequel by the name of Kurulus: Osman has been started which follows the life of Osman 1, the son of Etrugrul and the person who is attributed to have founded the Ottoman Empire.
