Alexander has a lot going for it straight from the beginning. True , his early years are put aside but not his moments of glory. The earlier films about Alexander covered his youth with the 1950's film with Richard Burton and later version with Colin Farrell in 2004. These films worked better at times but were no great box office hits. In this docuseries we get to see those around him and the workings of a shattered Persian Empire. Outnumbered in many way but the mind set of strategy overcame the obstacles. Thanks to Netflix we get to see a six part series of a Conqueror who knew no bounds and was smart enough to spare and preserve that which he ruled. The added feature is objective views of historians as the story unfolds.
