I&#8217;m honestly stunned because that was so un-Bozdag like from last season in a GOOD way. After a second season which I thought was a mixed bag with many issues, this was quite the remarkable comeback from Osman Bey &amp; company in the new season. The stage has been set with a phenomenal season debut and I&#8217;m absolutely looking forward to what happens next!<\/p>\n<p>The opening sequence laid the foundation for multiple storylines to be explored this season that are going to lead into the main one where Osman Bey will seek to exploit the Great Schism (political &amp; spiritual division between Catholic &amp; Orthodox Christians) to keep the enemies divided &#8230; That&#8217;s going to form the mission of this season with all other plots converging: Kosses&#8217;s cutting off Turgut&#8217;s alps&#8217; fingers, the ambush from Tekfur Leo&#8217;s soldiers to sever relations b\/w Osman-Turgut and draw Osman&#8217;s ire towards Kosses, the mysterious figure who executed Karayel &#8230; What chaos!<br \/>\nKO premiere had it all, unbelievable to yours truly!<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the excitement was the fact that little details were all in place like Osman reminiscing about his grandfather Ertugrul Gazi while caressing Orhan &#8230; Selcan bringing up Hayme Ana to connect the past tradition with present day &#8230; Simple explanation of Alaca (Malhun&#8217;s assistant in 2nd season) having gone away to settle down with a family of her own.<br \/>\nWhy couldn&#8217;t we get simple connecting of the dots like this last season? Improvement on the margins were on full display!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\" data-ad-slot=\"8997190170\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>I legit enjoyed all new additions. Thought Mikhael Kosses is a top introduction and his relation with Osman Bey is one to watch out for because you are in for a surprise if Bozdag sticks to historical accuracy on this front. The other Tekfur from Lazkaris dynasty too is a nice addition. The entire strategy of Osman Bey revolving around Priest Gregory and his backstory adds much needed layer to the overall script and a refreshing sign. But the most impactful and unquestionably the most exciting introduction since Shaykh Edebali was none other than the new Turgut Bey! WOW !!!<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m on record expressing my displeasure at Bozdag forgoing the character of original Turgut considering the inevitable Inegol conquest and it will remain a major issue of critique. However, this new Turgut Bey in my view softened the blow from the initial shock and I was blown away by the introduction of his character because for the first time in my view Osman Bey&#8217;s equal may finally be here. The scene where Osman Bey &amp; new Turgut Bey met for the first time was BOX OFFICE. The actor Ruzkar exudes sheer magnetism and he stood firm in presence of Osman Bey and saw him eye to eye, a first of its kind! That was the highlight and best scene of the episode I thought. I mean WOW Bozdag you are onto something man! And I am pumped up!<\/p>\n<p>The scene with Shaykh Edebali\/Osman and Edebali\/Bala were great especially latter which got me in the feels because of Shaykh&#8217;s heartfelt gratitude for Allah blessing Bala with an off spring and Bala&#8217;s reinforcement of it through her own gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>Malhun&#8217;s dream was a play on Turkic dynastic rivalries and basically her insecurity which subsequently gets put to ease by Osman Bey tactfully &#8230; I liked the casting of both young Orhan &amp; Aladdin in that dream sequence &#8230; Wonder if that&#8217;s who we will see as grown up versions. Thought Selcan&#8217;s re-entry was well done and her nudging both Bala &amp; Malhun to back each other as sisters was savvy touch from the seasoned hatun &amp; mother of Kayis. Even the scene between Bala &amp; Malhun where they discuss Malhun&#8217;s dream albeit she lies to Bala to maintain the truce was nice in that after last season&#8217;s cringe worthy rivalry between the two it was good to see them get along. I hope we now see a harmonious bond between the two especially after Osman Bey has reassured Malhun hatun.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\" data-ad-slot=\"8997190170\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Last season my biggest frustration was with the lack of character development among peripheral and support characters. But fortunately we got glimpses of it throughout the premiere with Gonca, Cerkutay, Aygul, Boran, Goktug and more importantly Gunduz demonstrated some bits of his personality for a change instead of being a one-dimensional character. This is the aspect of KO that needs significant improvement where these characters all have contributions to make to the main plot in a converging manner and I hope they finally get to have constructive subplots that ensure it is the case.<\/p>\n<p>All in all the story flowed flawlessly, visuals were superb, multiple hooks were anchored and now I&#8217;m left wondering what happens next &#8230; Early signs indicate that Bozdag&#8217;s new team may just turn the ship around and KO may finally vault into the vaunted elite level show. Keenly looking forward to next episode in hopes that it&#8217;s not a false dawn but indeed a renaissance in storytelling from Bozdag!<\/p>\n<p>Written By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/OttomanTV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shehzeb Imam<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/kurulus-osman-episode-65\/\">Watch Episode 65<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Was that a Kurulus Osman renaissance or a false dawn ???
