Rise of Empires: Ottoman (2020–2022)
7/10
Vlad vs Mehmed
29 December 2022
Too bad Netflix didn't do season 2 about Huniadi. It makes no sense why Vlad hates Mehmed so much. His hostage time with the ottomans couldn't have had such an impact on his personality. People weren't that complicated then... If the viewers had seen Ioan Huniade's war with the empire and how Vlad's family was involved, things would have had more clarity and truthfulness. Plus viewers would have had the chance of finding out how Vlad's family came to be known by that name... On the other hand it's good that western civilisation has a chance to know more about this famous or rather infamous ruler which inspired Stocker.

Unfortunately, the Romanian historians invited to participate in the making of the documentary are not the most representative. Or were not given enough space to complete and explain the story....
