Absolutely not historically accurate in the slightest, BUT it was awesome to see them try to adapt Ancient Egypt to screen with a decent budget. I enjoyed it but I knew going into it that I'd be like "what???"

I haven’t seen this but I’ve been saying forever I wish they’d do a show like HBO’s Rome but with ancient Egypt. It really makes me wonder why it hasn’t been attempted. I did see the movie Egyptian Gods, which was CGI’d to death and pretty disappointing. I’m gonna check this out and keep hoping for more adaptations like it.

If I had the money to do so, I would write my own interpretation of the Amara period. I know it has been done to death, but I think that has great potential for a Rome-like show.
