We hadn't seen the resurgence of Bible-inspired fiction coming, but there is an audience for the genre. In three hour and a half episodes, what the Exodus and Deuteronomy tell about Moses is recreated.
The difference with the other docudramas is that Alexander and Cleopatra are well-documented historical figures. Moses is an enigma for historians, because there was no trace of him left other than what appears in the sacred books. The actor who plays the Egyptian prince, prophet and liberator of the Jews, Avi Azulay, does not quite work in his attempt to express to us the inner torment that he feels for the mission that has been entrusted to him. Some secondary ones do it better, like his wife Zipporah. The pharaoh does not step out of his role as tyrant, when good productions usually take more care of the villains. The series puts more effort into educating in the biblical story than into hooking the disbelieving viewer. It is made with good means, but those are abundant today.
