So... no mention of the three days of rape, murder, and pillaging then?

Out of a population of 50,000 people, approx 4,000 were murdered and 30,000 ended up in slavery to the Ottomans (and these are the low estimates). And, of course, the unknown numbers of rapes of women and children. Loukas Notaras's own daughter was reportedly forced to "lie on the great altar of Hagia Sophia with a crucifix under her head and then raped" by a gang of Ottomans.

But we're just going to gloss over all of this?

Now, I'm not as salty about this as I sound lol. I actually enjoyed the series. It was great that they made one of these docuseries that covered this particular event, as so few people (in the west, at least) talk about it. And, really, with these sorts of things I've come to expect a hefty load of BS narratives and tropey things (don't get me started on The Lost Pirate Kingdom). But I can't help but be a bit flabbergasted at our current standards of who, in history, that we can and can't whitewash.

It's interesting, for instance, that people will throw a complete hissy fit if a movie/series shows someone like Christopher Columbus (who was 2 years old during this time, so they're of the same general period) without completely vilifying him over what later happened to the Native Americans (the vast majority of which Columbus, himself, had nothing personally to do with), yet we'll happily portray a conqueror like Mehmed II, reveling in his "genius", without a shred of mention of the massive piles of human beings that he, personally, had a hand in murdering, enslaving, and/or raping.
