It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Kien Navarro
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Tayyab Torres
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

My wife started watching this, but gave up due to boredom. I had to laugh when one of the characters spoke about decimating the enemy. About 500 years too soon. Decimate is a Roman word in Latin is to kill every tenth Roman soldier if they won't attack or similar. Tut was about 1300 BC and the Romans started about 500 years later.Tut tut for research. Roman commanders to encourage their soldiers would line them up and count every tenth soldier and plunge a sword into them. I recorded episodes diligently but after a while gave up. It had no pace or interest but just plodded along Tut tut Tut tut Having to produce ten lines is a silly rule 9 lines would be better 8 lines would be even better 7 lines better still 6 lines fine 5 lines OK 4 lines almost there 3 lines not bad Still not there

Just awful! What can one say. Well I love movies about the Ancients. I also study the ancients. With a library of 5000 books at home, I began looking up first the Mitani. And bang what do you know I got books on them too! There from Syria,Iraq and eastern Anatolia (modern Turkey). Oh and they were not black!But this movie has a black Mitani king! This Hollywood lets just put blacks into every movie, including were they don't belong gets really old. The only reason I sat through this abomination was my wife. She felt the use of blacks to play semitic people was lame!

I read several of the reviews to see anyone said what I was gonna say and didn't look like it so far so here goes.I noticed that allot of people really liked the show, I also thought it was pretty good, but I got the idea the reason for that is, that it's actually Hamlet from Shakespeare with an Egyptian outfit. For those who don't know Hamlet, The Lion King was also the story of Hamlet. Try to see if you find any similarities. You will find many. I did enjoy watching it but I was hoping for a series about ancient Egypt, but except for looking Egyptian it had nothing to do with ancient Egypt so that's why I'm a bit disappointed. There is very little known about Tutankhamen but a few things they do know like who is parents where Ikhnaton and his sister who's name is unknown. they introduced Monotheism during there rule. When Tut became Pharaoh the old gods where reintroduced, probably the clergy took advantage of the young naive pharaoh but none know's, would have been nice if at least there was something about that in the series.

Very refreshing to watch such a well written series, wonderful actors, believable sets, and story line. Wonderful to see that there is still some quality movie making instead of some of the dribble that is being made these days. Hated to see it end but hope more historical dramas will be forthcoming. Made me want to read more about King Tut and that period. Would definitely recommend this, well worth time spent watching.Enjoyed actors, especially the young man who played King Tut. Ben Kingsley portrayal was realistic and both of the young women were beautiful and well played.
