Here are some tips how turks can get better at historical dramas.
1. Bad characters are flat. They are just bad. Their character, religion, believes and ambitions are just bad. They have to be grey and also worst defeating. There is one exception. There is always a women, who they convert and marry. The writers have european women complex. They want to justify why they married european women in real life. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.
2. you can't make all dialogs like a parental advice.
3. What makes battles great is not slashing. You have to tell the strategy, ambush, tactics. We have to root for the strategy to work.
4. The hero's they create are born great and are never wrong. They don't need any advice or help or to work together. A true hero would loose hundred times but stand up again until he succeeds. Train like crazy. Work day&night. This would be good role model. Their heros are just lazy and arrogant.
5. all plot branches need consideration. You have to assign for every branch a writer, who thinks about why the character (bad/good) do certain things. Their realistic ambition, which actually makes sense.
6 l. Details make movies great. Make every scene count. For example if you let a character forge a sword; don't just put all characters there; put a story behind it. Like trying to make a sword for his sultan but fails to make it great. Tell a story about why does he fail, how can he get better. Thorough his spies he gets the info and they win the wars. Side story of a side story but you let the audience care about the how a sword is forged; and hire experts to make it realistic and interesting.
7. make it shorter and better, less slow motion and glaring at each other.
Tbh, this show has a better budget and is little better than other turkish historical drama. Compared to destan this has a better set. Destan has better actors and idea but low budget and more amateur.
