It is a great series, because (1) It brings life to the Biblical main story, as recorded in the Bible: not changing order of the events, nor the (acting) motives of the characters. (2) The author provides several interesting subplots carefully detailed, without distorting the main message of the story: the meaning of true love and family ties. Several subplots are not in the Biblical text but complement the story so wonderfully that do not bother the viewers at all. Watching it brought motivation to read (refresh) the text of the Scripture (Book of Genesis Chapters 37 to 50), to compare and confirm the real facts, as well as the fictional parts of the story.
