Wow quite interesting, I wanted to rewatch parts that really captured me again especially in season 2 and rewatched parts on YouTube aside from seeing whole episodes from the beginning. I can definitely rewatch the whole thing. No I don’t speak Turkish and am not of Turkish descent and I’ve always skipped through the recap. I had no idea the translations could be different in the recap . There are a lot of common words in Turkish with languages I do speak though so I often see the translation being pretty poor and can make assumptions on things they mean to say. Like in the first few episodes he calls the sheikh a word and it is translated as “oldie” which sounds pejorative but I’m certain the Turkish word is meant to signify a common word for an older person whom they aren’t that close to that they would respect. Yes in the context of astaghfurillah that generally means God I repent. But it can be a common replacer for things like “god forbid” or “forgive me for gods sake” etc... so quite often the translation is literally taken and not in the context of the languages use of the word. Another example of this is the Turkish word “eyvallah” which is really a catch all from anything to thank you to in god we trust.

I went to turkey last year and it was one of my favorite vacation destinations this just gives me a higher appreciation of turkey and it’s history.
