Season overview
1st season
The first season is about the battle between the crusaders and the protectors of the holy relics ( Kutsal Emanet ). One day when he goes hunting with his loyal followers, they meet a group of Knights Templar with three prisoners who try unsuccessfully to flee from the Crusaders.
Ertuğrul and his soldiers free the prisoners and bring them to their own tribe. After a while it turns out that the three are brother, nephew and niece of the Seljuk Sultan. With their liberation, the Kayı tribe came into conflict with the Templar Order. And the Seljuk Empire threatens war if the Kayı do not bring the relatives of the Seluki sultan's back immediately.
Some members of the Kayı tribe are beginning to blame Sulayman Shah for the new difficulties. His brother Kurdoğlu took the opportunity and tried to become the Bey of the Kayı tribe himself. Sulayman sends Shah Ertuğrul to Aleppo to flee from the enemy and thus solve the problems of the tribe . There, Ertuğrul is supposed to make an agreement with the local sultan.
2nd season
In the second season, the Kayı migrate near Erzurum . When the Kayı had stopped for a rest, Ertugrul and his wife Halime set out to explore the area. Halime tells her husband that she is pregnant. Meanwhile, the majority of the tribe is killed by a Mongol raid. The survivors, including Ertugrul's mother, seek protection from the nearby Dodurga tribe , whose head is Ertugul's uncle. Ertugrul and his wife Halime Hatun were also attacked by Mongols and taken to their leader, Baiju Noyan . However, with the help of Ertugrul, his wife manages to flee during the attack and reaches the last location of the Kayı tribe, where she is horrified to find the place burned down and littered with corpses. She goes on and after a short time she meets the Dodurga tribe. Meanwhile, Ertugrul had to face the torture of the Mongols, but managed to escape after a while. The rest of the season is about the betrayals within the tribes; especially from those of the Seljuk vizier Emir Saadettin Köpek. Ertugrul faces these challenges and also comes into conflict with the Mongolian general Baiju Noyan, whom he later defeats. At the end of Season 2, Ertugrul moves on to Bilecik to face new challenges.
3rd season
In the third season, Ertugrul deals with the Cavdar tribe, the most powerful tribe in the western region of Anatolia. The Cavdars are led by Candar Bey and his children Ural, Aslihan and Aliyar and are very skilled at trade. After Ertugrul conquered the Hanli Bazaar, Ural Bey was sentenced to death for its role in property destruction, the Ertugrul Alps and the Karacahisar killing of the Tekfur. With the help of Emir Sadettin Köpek, the Urals are liberated and seek help from Vasiliyus, the new commander of Karacahisar, who is aiming for a bloody war with the Turks. Ertugrul teams up with Aliyar Bey to defeat Urals and Vasiliyus, but Aliyar Bey dies on the way there. In order to strengthen his ties to the Cavdars, Ertugrul asks Turgut to marry Aslihan, who accepts this. Ertugrul is also given the title of Uc Bey by Sultan Alaeddin , who angered Köpek and promised to destroy Ertugrul. Together with the new commander of Karacahisar, Ares, Köpek sets a trap for Ertugrul and apparently kills him at the end of the season.

Preparations
Preparations for the series began in February 2014. In five months, the stories and drawings were ready. Gambat from Mongolia had drawings made for three months. The teams started their work in May 2014. The decoration and art team consisted of sixty people and worked 4 months for the first episode. 4,000 square meters of fabric were used for costumes and decor. The actors in the series took riding, sword fighting and archery lessons for 3 months. The special choreography team Nomad from Kazakhstan was responsible for the choreography of the series , which was responsible for the world-famous films Hell of Angels 2 , 47 Ronin and Conan the Barbarian - films. Nomad trained both the actors and the horses, and choreographed the fights. The horses used in the series were also purchased and specially trained. Gazelles, sheep, goats, nightingales and partridges were also part of the set. The shooting time of the first episode was about a month.
criticism
The series received mostly positive reviews. The series receives an average rating of 7.5 out of 10 possible points at IMDb .
Some magazines such as the TAZ or the Süddeutsche Zeitung accuse the series of being misused as an instrument of the Erdogan government to glorify the historical history of the Ottoman Empire and to use it for political purposes:
“The fact that such historical series are well received could be due to the fact that many Turks cannot really make friends with the Ataturk Republic to this day. The series reflect the longing desire to return to glorious Ottoman times. It is the sore point of the nationalist-conservative part of the Turkish population. With such high audience numbers, the series landscape is extremely important for the Turkish government. And so it is not surprising that numerous series on the state broadcaster TRT have been conveying aspects of the government agenda for years - and preparing the population for upheavals and times of crisis. In “Diriliş Ertuğrul” it was more effective than in any other series. The more popular the series became, the more political messages from the AKP government were conveyed. After President Erdoğan personally visited the actors on the set in June 2015, he was symbolically associated with the series. Erdoğan's appearances and videos were often backed up with the series' striking soundtrack. Sounds of a Central Asian dombra, a plucked instrument that is reminiscent of the roots of the Turkish people and has a rousing character. "
“The Turkish state television TRT has long been criticized for being a mouthpiece for the government. The Turkish trade union for media communication and postal workers Haber-Sen, for example, complained to the Turkish regulatory authority for broadcasting (RTÜK) in 2014 because TRT sided with Erdoğan's AKP during the election campaign. Series like Payitaht Abdülhamid or Diriliş Ertuğrul (Resurrection of Ertuğrul) do not even try to refute this criticism. The latter is about pre-Ottoman history: Ertuğrul Gazi and his tribe fight against the atrocities of the Christian Byzantines and Knights Templar. "
