Pleasantly surprised
I'm agnostic, and found this series to be a more grounded and realistic retelling of the Exodus than grandiose depictions like DeMille's Ten Commandments or The Bible series on History Channel. I might not entirely agree with the historicity of the story, but I liked how much humanity they gave the characters.
At the end of the day, Moses was just a guy who was trying to look after his family. He didn't ask to be pulled into God's big plan or be constantly visited upon by this annoyingly mysterious ball of light that keeps appearing on his wall.
The academics and religious figures were knowledgeable and I'm glad someone from each major Abrahamic religion was interviewed.
I think it's stupid to give series like these the label of "documentary" though, and it's obvious that this show was just Netflix's attempt at bringing in a more right wing audience.
