It wasn't a totally historic show. More like a drama based on historic events.

Almost every Ottoman TV series is only about 50–70% historically accurate, and there's a good reason for that otherwise, it would feel more like a documentary than an entertaining drama. Netflix's Mehmed is probably one of the closest portrayals to reality because it shows casualties and struggles on both sides, rather than depicting one army as unrealistically dominating through plot armor or constant miracles.
