Magnificent Century	comment	Magnificent Century (Turkish: Muhteşem Yüzyıl) is a Turkish Soap Opera based on the life of Süleyman the Magnificent, the longest reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire.After the death of his father, Sultan Süleyman is called to reign over the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire at 26 years of age. He resolves to uphold the justice of the law and make the Ottoman Empire greater than it has ever been.Thus begins his romance with Hürrem, a Crimean concubine in his harem. Originally named Aleksandra Lisovska she was transported to his palace in Istanbul along with other slaves for his harem. The bold woman detests the people who captured and sold her, resisting her captors and wishing to follow her deceased family in death, until she falls in love with the Sultan.However, this earns her the ire of Mahidevran Sultan, mother of Süleyman's firstborn son, and Pargalı İbrahim Paşa, the Sultan's closest advisor and right hand man.The show begins with Süleyman's ascension to authority, but the focus of the series are the workings and intrigue of the Sultan's inner circle and the rivalries between members of the household. The budding romance between İbrahim and Hatice, Süleyman's sister, the rivalry between concubines and heirs and the manipulations taking place behind the scenes.

Magnificent Century / int_135b9977	type	Bloodless Carnage
Magnificent Century / int_135b9977	comment	Bloodless Carnage: A peculiar case. When Mihrunissa kills herself by slashing her throat, there's no blood whatsoever. Shortly after that, when Atmaca slashes Sinan's throat with an axe, blood is everywhere. Several fights in the earlier seasons go that way. Those which don't use CGI blood which doesn't look quite convincing.

Magnificent Century / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: While the series never was Teletubbies, it becomes considerably darker in the fourth season due to its heavy emphasis on who would be the potential heir. The otherwise comedic character Sümbül Aga has some personal drama, with his Dark and Troubled Past being brought up and he suffers a few instances of Yank the Dog's Chain. When Hürrem dies, the series become even more intense, as Suleyman becomes irremediably sadder and the battle between Bayezid and Selim becomes intense.

While visiting him in his bedroom, she shows concern for his status, apologizes for neglecting him, listens about his suffering for his eunuchism and for losing his first and last lover, and announces him about his liberty to heal his wound and to prize his years of service. Before he leaves the palace, she compliments his pure heart.

Magnificent Century / int_5ee2f7cc	comment	My Secret Pregnancy: Sehzade Mustafa impregnates his first love, Efsun, and tries to hide it with her since Ottoman rules mandate that Sehzades not tasked with any province may not bear children and children born before that are aborted. Efsun dies as a consequence of the abortion. After being impregnated by Ibrahim, Nigar Kalfa hides her pregnancy as much as she can. In the most advanced parts of her pregnancy she claims to be overeating to explain her big belly. Sehzade Mehmed impregnates his concubine and tries to hide that. Mihrimah eventually makes the concubine abort. When Hürrem discovers the truth, she banishes that concubine and scolds Mehmed and Mihrimah from trying to hid that pregnancy. When Mustafa and Mihrunissa have a child, they and Mahidevran attempt to pass the son as being born from one concubine. Fails after Huricihan has Lala Mustafa Pasha leak Mustafa's marriage to Mihrunissa.

(The show has actually been retitled "The Sultan's Harem" in certain other countries). There's plenty of competition to be the sultan's favourite, with murder not out of the question.

For example, Mihrimah is 17 when she is forced to marry Rüstem, who is at least twenty years older than her. Selim is 12/13 when he is brought on campaign with his father, and Bayezid is a similar age when he gets annoyed about not going on campaign. If a prince is executed, then all his sons, regardless of age, are executed as well. No-one except the slaves themselves sees a problem with slavery.

Magnificent Century / int_c0961831	comment	Interrupted Suicide: Following Süleyman's collapse, Hürrem almost throws herself off the palace, but Hafsa grabs her on time and asks to rest so she can care for her sons. After being told that her bastard daughter was stillborn, Nigar attempts to hang herself but is saved by one of Hatice's servants. When Hürrem enters on despair after thinking Süleyman is having sex with Firuze and intends to comply with her Suicide Pact, Afife talks her out of drinking the poison and tells her that Süleyman did not receive Firuze. Mustafa's son Mehmet unwittingly saves Mahidevran from drinking poison after Mustafa is executed.

In both cases, Sah would no longer be able to come to the palace.

Magnificent Century / int_c9790040	comment	Decadent Court: Downplayed enough to present the glory of the Ottoman golden age and values of Islam. That being said, various characters from Sultan Süleyman's court indulge in endless intrigues and backstabbing. Almost all the Sultanas enter in a fair share of illegal and immoral actions to push their own agendas, including the murder or incrimination of innocent maids. Most of the Pashas are corrupt, treacherous or otherwise ill-suited, with various instances of abuse of power, treason, killing to get Klingon Promotion, or being political pawns for Sultanas or Sehzades. The system itself has a morally and legally problematic rule that the heir that inherits the throne is required, not just allowed, to execute the male brothers, which converts the Royal Harem in a serious competition where concubines kill each other to achieve political power and to ensure that one of their children arrives to the throne.

In her dreams, Hurrem sees her mother saying that she was not the Alexandra she raised after what she did. Hürrem is disgusted that Sümbül is supporting the other sultanas instead of her. Hürrem confronts Afife for claiming to be fair yet failing to hear Hürrem's side. Hürrem tells her about all the attempts Hafsa, Ibrahim, Mahidevran and later Hatice did against her. Hürrem scolds Mehmet and Mihrimah for concealing Mehmet's impregnation of his concubine from her. Ibrahim Pasha calls out Ebussuud for being neglectful to his son. After Diana fails to assassinate Hürrem, Sah Sultan calls out Gülfem for participating in that conspiracy, since at least Hatice culd be excused for being blinded by her grief. Hürrem calls Malkocoglu out for covering up Hatice's embezzlement and for having clandestine meetings with Mihrimah. She pretends to be disgusted with him to keep up appearances, but rebukes Mihrimah for calling him in the first place. Mihrimah rebukes Mustafa for doing little about the people calling him the next Sultan.

While Hürrem is initially understandably angry with Sümbül for speaking about Hürrem's secret chamber to eavesdrop on the council, she shows that she cares for him later. While visiting him in his bedroom, she shows concern for his status, apologizes for neglecting him, listens about his suffering for his eunuchism and for losing his first and last lover, and announces him about his liberty to heal his wound and to prize his years of service. Before he leaves the palace, she compliments his pure heart.

Some of the most egregious examples of this trope are the presence of tiaras, the near universal absence of the şalvar (traditional baggy trousers worn by both women and men), and sleeveless or off-shouldered styles.

Worse, "Firuze" was actually a Safavid princess infiltrating in the Harem to poison the Sultan.
