"THE PROTECTOR" COMES FULL CIRCLE

by Paola Cesarini

"The Protector" still manages to surprise, even after four seasons. From shifting the set to Ottoman times to recreating a time-loop worthy of Groundhog Day, and revealing the Immortals' origins within the Nika Riots of 532 CE, the final installment of "Hakan; Muhafiz" is much more ambitious than most would have imagined when it first started back in 2018. This review unravels the complex tale that has just come to a satisfactory conclusion, with a particular aim to dispel any lingering confusion that the last action-packed installment of The Protector might have left behind.
