Theodosia

A really good kids' series, with talented young actors and a great set. Surely it wasn't easy creating such quality and premium content during a pandemic so congrats!

Ps: this show does fit in the HBO max FAMILY landscape, a kids content does not necessarily mean Disney+ !

Her 12 year old brother is into it too. I worry about introducing them to simple depictions Empire and Rule Britannia but this is fun entertainment amd I found it watchable as well.

I understand this show is meant for kids, but as a 20+ years old, I found myself really enjoying this series.

The story was quite intriguing and the characters were pretty well written (loved Theo and Safiya's relationship throughout the episodes).

Not to mention the amazing costumes and sets used for this show.

Of course if you expect a series for young adult, then is isn't it.

10/10.

I started watching Theodosia because I'm passionate about Egypt's rich history, but I found myself deeply frustrated by how the show portrays the removal of Egyptian artifacts.

I understand it's a fantasy show, I think it could have been more responsible in handling these sensitive issues. For me, it was impossible to keep watching knowing my country's cultural treasures were depicted as something to be casually taken without question.

Not to mention, this actually happened in real life, when English colonizers took many artifacts from Egypt. Everyone knows the British Museum is full of stolen artifacts from all over the world, yet the show acts as if this behavior is acceptable. It was disappointing to see a lack of sensitivity around such an important issue.

This is a kid show.

Not for 50 year old men who think that their opinion matters when it's clearly not made for them. It's advertised on HBO kids, if you can't tell between HBO max and HBO max family then please think about going to the opticians, you don't know how to read.

Overall, this is a very good KIDS show.
