It's good, but not great

Well, the bar is now so low, simply not having Streep play Jesus in the Old Testament is almost enough.

I don't consider myself a scholar of the Bible, bit I'm pretty sure the writers played a bit loose with the source at times. Pretty sure monogamy wasn't a thing for the kings of the times.

At least, they did not introduce non-sense: men are men, with beards on their chins.

The cast is a solid ensemble of could-have-beens: talented enough that they could have had a bigger career, but not lucky enough.
Or too ethnic: they (almost) all look appropriately Semitic. No black-washing this time, go figure.

Visually, the series is adequate but uninspired. Or inspired, actually. Mostly Lord of the Rings (Lang's Samuel is very Gandalf-y), with some Dune, and a tad of Shogun.
Again, I'm not an expert on the period, but the clothing might be off part of the time, jewelry is sometimes suspicious, weapons are anachronistic more often than not, and the architecture, especially in wide shots, often looks Medieval, Central to Eastern Europe to me.

Anyway, the script flows well, narration is clear albeit not inventive, and the cast works hard at selling their parts.
Uloom and Fehr are stand-outs (always liked Fehr), Lang, well, is about as good as he was in Conan. Or Braven. He really should avoid filming with Momoa.
