Ertugrul Season 2

•  People I have finished Ertugrul Season 1 and now started watching Ertugrul Season 2.
• While Ertugrul Season 1 dealt with internal struggles with the Tribe and interference from the Crusaders by collaboration with traitors, season 2 appears to deal with the Mongols.
• I have only watched two episodes of Season 2 so far.
  
• As we know Mongols laid waste to a huge area in Central Asia and Middle East.
• Ultimately they got assimilated in the areas they conquered.
• We can say the brunt of Mongol expansion brute force was taken by the Turks.
• Mongols simply expanded by destroying the cities and people who fell on their path.
  
• Europe was defended to a lot of extent by the Turks who stopped the Mongol expansion at Anatolia.
• Hence Europe owes that much to the Turks.
• Since watched only two episodes, looking forward to more episodes.
• It is like getting a crash course in history.
• At the end of Season 1 the discussion Ertugrul had with elders of the tribes pointed out what is coming in future.
• It was clear that they needed a land where all tribes can be safe.
• They know Mongols were coming.
• They know that Crusaders came from Europe with the dream of capturing Jerusalem but when they reach Asia Minor they forgot their purpose and just "waste themselves", not their words but my interpretation. (Watch the episode for more details)
• I must say the cinematography and use of horses and way the chase are captured and stunts are photographed are simply brilliant. Watch the episode for more details Season 2 Episode 1.
• It doesn't look like special effects are used.
