GO ON A HIGH SEAS ADVENTURE WITH BARBAROSSA: THE SWORD OF THE MEDITERRANEAN 16TH CENTURY EPIC TV SERIES

 BARBAROSSA EPIC TV SERIES 
SWORD OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
The series has more than 100 episodes
Now, this one has actually aired on Turkish television two years ago but it is currently available on various national streamers around Europe (including Kion in Russia), so I thought I might spotlight it for those who might find it and watch it! BARBAROSSA: THE SWORD OF THE MEDITERR ANEAN (Barbaroslar Akdeniz'in Kılıcı) described as Magnificent Century meets The Pirates of the Caribbean, is TRT's historical drama, based on the life of "Barbarossa" Hayreddin Pasha and his brothers. The series tells the adventures of corsairs Ishak, Oruc, Hizir, and Ilyas fighting high tides and the secrets of the seas in pursuit of the holy secret. It is the first Turkish epic series that takes places at the sea. If I got it right, the series has over a hundred episodes which are available on YouTube in Turkish.

  1. I wonder if Netflix will buy it. It has acquired most Turkish period drama.

    1. Then it might, but this one is quite old, two years or more.

  2. I'll pass on this, but I do think it must have been good for them to put out over 100 episodes.

  4. It's not something for me either. BARBAROSSA sounds quite German to me.

    1. He is not to be confused with your emperor Fridrich, this one is a famous pirate, barbaros means barbaric in Latin.
