Reception
Bhutto, a Pakistani journalist, stated in 2020 that the show in terms of an anti-Ottomanist production "has apparently failed; no one seems to be watching" in Pakistan.

Multiple critics after the episodes aired characterized the show as harassment targeted at Turkey and as anti-Turkish, reflecting recent tensions between Turkey and both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It was seen as an attempt by the Saudi government to sour public opinion against Turkey.
