Mokhtar was a well-known Shi'ite warrior who raised after Hossein and his followers had been killed in Karbala. In fact after Hossein's killers killed him and his followers, they captured their family and brought them to Syria. In this trip they carry the heads of the killed people in front of their families and on the way they do everything to increase the suffers and pains of their families. Unfortunately the killing of 72 men in Karbala was considered as a main victorious for Yazid's government and they celebrated it. However it became the begging of their fall because this behaviors caused a huge rage between Muslims and they decided to eliminate this government and took a bloody revenge from Hossei's killers. Almost all of these villain were killed brutally by Mokhtar and his followers. This bloody revenge is the main reason which causes a fear that prevent the next government from repeating similar behavior about Shi'ite leaders.
This TV series is mainly devoted to the story of Mokhtar's revenge and his efforts for wiping out the killers of Hossein and his followers. By the way, Mirbagheri (the director) tried to tell a brief story about some of the prominent faces between Hossein's followers in Karbala in some flash back scenes, too. He also briefly showed the other efforts and wars from the other group before Mokhtar's move for revenge (unfortunately they were not strong enough).
The directing and acting are good and even in some episodes we can say they are really good, however there are some problems in this TV series. The first is bad fighting scene and some Mokhtar's fictions which are not very interesting. Generally I can tell it is a really good historic TV series and I strongly suggest it to others because you can learn many things about Mokhtar and his brave move.
