kingsleyukwuoma I can't just believe the high rating. The plot and storyline was completely off the mark. Egypt's general acts and speaks like a bodyguard, Sibylla deen was awful especially in her role as a seductress. Tutankhamun appeared to be the only class act in this show. A pure waste of time.

Franco Pastelli Eh... the best I can say: it was good to see Tut and Ancient Egypt finally get a little attention that doesn't involve walking mummies or biblical myths. Avan Jogia as the young pharaoh was perfectly cast and did well considering the material he was given. He's really the only standout in this otherwise mundane melodrama. I thought the production values were passable for a third-tier cable channel, but all of the usual failings were on full display: no history, bad costumes, worse locations, and indifferent writing. Be warned, this series is not a history lesson. Akhenaten, Tut's father, did not die in Thebes, but in the city of Amarna. Tut did not try and continue his father's monotheism; in fact the only remarkable act of his reign was to return Egypt to the old gods. (Spoilers!) And Horemheb would never have contemplated leaving a wounded Tut behind on a battlefield, even wanting him dead, it was simply impossible to return to Egypt without the pharaoh's body---he was worshiped as a god, after all, and a proper burial of his body was crucial to the Egyptian identity. If a general came back from war without the king, dead or alive, well... no amount of explaining would've saved his head. And "Amun" (the chief god of Egypt) as the name of the high priest!?! How many popes do you know named "Jehovah?" Really stupid choice, there. As for the look of the show: I suppose it must be difficult and costly to find or make jewelry that actually looks like the stuff from Tut's tomb, rather than the crude, clumsy junk seen here. And I very much wish producers and directors would STOP using Morocco as a stand-in for Egypt. The two countries look no more alike than Alaska does Hawaii. And my final gripe: Mitanni was hundreds of miles away from Egypt and in those days would take months, possibly even a year to reach; the series gives the impression it was right next door.

Mia Rowantree The producers of this show must have gone through a lot of trouble to find the whitest actors of color on earth. Ancient Egyptians were either black or possibly middle-eastern, i.e much like today. Tutankhamun's death mask show distinct African facial features and all depictions show him and the people around as having brown skin. Since there is no shortage of talented black or middle-eastern actors this can only be described as good old fashioned white wash, like a modern 'Lawrence of Arabia'.It bothered me so much that I didn't make beyond 7.42 minutes, because in combination with the really bad acting, this show was unbearable to watch. Moreover, in reality Tutankamun was severely disabled by skeletal disease, and could likely not stand up straight unaided, much less be a fierce fighter. One word: 'ugh'. Muse Entertainment should be ashamed of themselves.Muse Entertainment should be ashamed of themselves.

Kirpianuscus it is far to be impressive. but it works to be credible and Avan Jogia in leading role is an important support for that. a film who recreate, in decent manner, a period. or one of many historical series who looking give a version for past who could be more than entertainment or fairy tale, a kind of parable for discover the every day reality. a series who must have success for the nice manner to mix politics and love, solitude of power and the warnings about the Court, force of a fragile king and the revenge in its many aspects. sure, it is not The Faraon by Kawalerowicz, but it is an interesting trip in the heart of a fascinating world and a good show.
