Theodosia

People complain and give 1 stars because they didn't expect a kids show....did you read the description?

Many others complain that a kid show is on HBOMAX. HBO has always had kids shows.... Good lord many morons on planet earth.

Look yes it is a kids show. Yes it is cheesy and the acting inst the greatest, but my 8 year old loved it and binge watched it.

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.

My kids are 9 and 14 girls and they loved it. They like the fact that there is a lot about ancien Egypt. They also love the main Character played by Eloise Little but also the other 3.

Feels like a preteen WB or Disney show but more enjoyable. Writing and acting is not consistent, not that the actors are bad, just seems like they did everything in one take. They did seem to pay more attention to the costuming/cinematography/special effects, than anything else.

If you're looking for something fun to watch, where you can turn off your brain, this is it.

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+ !
