Unfortunately, I do not see all the hype. Production and cinematography are ok. That's where it ends with the positives. The actors do not fit the roles and acting is below standards. The costumes and makeup are atrocious and do not bring an element of authenticity to that era.
As usual with these type of "dramas" in the middle east they are a little bit too lectury and preachy. I get this is more or less a historical telling of that period but it leaves little room for entertainment and thought stimulation/provocation.
My major gripe is it tries to hard to be Game of Thrones, especially with how they try to build dialogues and tension.
Nothing new or groundbreaking to see here.
