According to the PM, Diriliş Ertuğrul "shows the culture of Islam." --- Ertuğrul fled his country.

If only, he speaks less and think more!

I don't mind Turkish dramas, though I think Egyptian social problems are more reflective of our own.

PM is highly obsessive on Turkey. Not good.

Ertugrul is easily the most beautifully crafted, brilliantly acted thriller on television. In a league of its own, once you start watching, you cannot stop till you have seen it all.

The PM has been watching this series due to the lockdown

Its biggest lesson is to create a secular state where justice prevails.

IK needs to live in present and with future targets. Not in past.

so now he is promoting dramas? great

Ah -ha why not Iranian movies?

This is a historical drama set in the 1200's CE, it's not about current Turkish culture as some are suggesting, rather it refers to the struggles of a particular tribe that overcame adversity to set up the Ottoman Khilafate. I enjoyed watching the whole 5 series with subtitles in English. currently watching Kurulus Osman .

He lives in past and fantasies of history which is written by victors, there is hardly any truth in it.

Turks are the people who built their nation with moral and dignity. Example was shown when they defied military coup and stoodby leader.

The only thing the youth need to do is read more.

Our PM wants to be jack of all trades but master of none

He should be encouraging Pakistani drama industry to make such dramas and supporting the industry.

Since when has Turkish Culture become our culture? Sure, Turks follow Islam like most of us do. But Islam is also practiced in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. And to lesser extent in Philippines, Thailand and other assorted South East Asian countries. China too has a sizeable numbers of Muslims. And many of these countries are closer to us in culture and heritage than the Turks, central asians or ME. And Bollywood has made several very good films that portray Islam well and in practical everyday life or in unique situations.

trying to be someone you are not , what happened to Arab culture ?

Very good step love u PM

An excellent drama but it is too long. I watched it in original Turkish with English subtitle. The person dubbing it in Urdu has to work hard to get the original feel.

Turkish cultre, society and history completely different from Pakistan.

We have been watching it since last year. We have introduced to all our family and friends. Every one we know are watching it now. My grandchildren love it.

@rsultan well said and true.

@M. Emad Pakistan Culture is different.But Bangla Desh and West Bengal Culture is same.

Turkish culture is the same as western.

Seems Imran Khan is too busy watching foreign films and YouTube

Nothing wrong with Turkish culture or learning about Islamic history. Best to avoid Bollywood as it’s neither Pakistani nor Islamic, and lately, it’s been nothing but overtly Islamophobic.

@rsultan 'Since when has Turkish Culture become our culture? ' Since the Mughal days

It’s an excellent series. Everyone should watch it.

So he is promoting movies. I will suggest him to watch Avenger and other Marvel series.

Superb suggestion by PMIK. Loving it.

Turkish culture has seeped into all the nations of the South Asian subcontinent, including Hyderabad Deccan, Kerala, Bangladesh, Awadh, IOK, Delhi, Agra, Rajastan, Gujarat.

Trying to butter up Turkey. But Turkey has never provided financial aid to Pakistan. So why all this drama ?

Yes.. It's our Ramzaan not ramadan

Good suggestion by the prime minister of Pakistan Mr. Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi.

@M. Emad ...You are a hateful Bengali and know nothing about Pakistan!!

Great drama thanks to PM Imran Khan for recommending it to our nation!

We shouldn't be watching TV we should be working hard.

The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.

He seems to have lots of time at hand !

I salute our great hero. Pm imran khan.i love most of them.

he is trying everything in his power to cut pakistanis from their ancestry

@rsultan it's about the historical spread of Islam, although not entirely based on facts it's still worth watching. it's not a movie either. i think what your PM is trying to say is it's a lot better than watching 'other' movies.

@Zak You okay mate?!

@Fastrack You are absolutely right!✌

I m visitor my visit already expire

Is season 6 out?? I cant find on netflix..please

Is season 6 out yet?

@Chhannu What us wrong in it.

@fareed Totally agreed.

@TruthMatters have you been to Turkey? Just because it's an Islamic nation doesn't mean its not western. They don't wear shalwar kameez, dubatta, they do have secularism, unmarried live in couples is not uncommon in cities, gays too, gender mixing their weddings are not gender segregated with couples and folk dancing, their dressing is western showing skin isnt frowned upon (as opposed to how we react when girls wear sleeveless or show skin in sari), there's no constant lectures about behayahi, immorality, holding hands/showing affection in public is allowed, you can buy alcohol, bikinis on beach are allowed. We Pakistanis are used to living in a bubble of our own country and despite the internet, we fail to burst that bubble or inform ourselves about other Muslim cultures which would shock the living daylights out of most Pakistanis especially those cursing and criticizing the now infamous aurat march. You should travel to Turkey and experience its culture first. It's different!

Seen it all on Netflix, one of the best historical dramas I have watched. Yes it is long winded and cliched but the basic messages are crystal clear. It is about deception and deceit by both Islamic and Christian tyrants, with Mongols thrown in for good measure. You ca learn an awful lot about fundamental Islam, not fundamentalist but basic , core Islam.

I love the Dirilis Ertugrul series, I saw all the 5 season! It is a good way to learn and understand Turkish history, and few others nation in central and western Asia. I learned so much about islamic values, the role of Ibn el Arabi is one of my favorites, in fact I become a follower of sufism after seen him in the series. This is also my second Turkish series (First was Wolf), I am becoming more a more interested in Turkish culture and history.

It was the best show I have watched on Netflix since I got it. Actually I have watched the series twice. I am a Christian, but their faith was presented in a way that never offended me. It was terrific!

Hi guys I am from Namibia, and I really enjoyed the series. I am recommending this series to everyone. For now I am waiting for season 6

My eyes gone .. So addicted for such a fabulous series.

My eyes r dead...watch it almost 12 hours a day

We watched it without knowledge. It is brilliant clean and hopeful can't wait for a sequel. Couple from Stockton-on-Tees England

I have watched this series on netflix twice, and I would watch it again. Absolutely loved it, learning the culture the good and bad.
