Firstly, I need to say that I don't care that a person of color was chosen to play the lead.
That being said, to call this work of pure fiction a "Documentary" is ridiculous. I watched the first episode and had to give up. I do understand that to make a series about someone who lived a couple thousand years ago will required much "filling in of the blanks" but, come on!, at least fill in those blanks with something that was remotely probable.
I am sick of hearing people talk about historical people based on fictionalized Hollywood portrayals of them. This farce will just add to that.
This series, my friends, is FAKE NEWS.
Pure and poor fiction - nothing more.
