I cannot imagine any of the expert commentary stirring up much more than polite disagreement. What’s most upsetting is how easily the Netflix template gets mapped onto a two-thousand-year-old story, including a pre-credits teaser reel.

The presentation of these conversations throughout the series is fluid and well-organized, so much so that it sometimes feels as if the experts are in agreement about how the story should be interpreted. Go to Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express Mar 31, 2024
As has become the norm for shows like this, the production is noticeably spartan — the sets look plastic, there’s a limit to the scope, and despite the inherent ambition of adapting such an expansive text, the constraints can always be seen and felt.

The docuseries makes a point of reconstructing Moses’s life with balanced input from all three Abrahamic religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – and ends up telling the blandest and most anodyne version of an already well-known story.

In Netflix’s version, Moses’ tale of redemption and Exodus combines the discourses of the three major religions that celebrate the man of faith. Go to Full Review Collin Garbarino WORLD Mar 29, 2024

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, all recognize Moses as a prophet, but they don’t interpret Moses’ importance the same way ... Netflix glosses over significant differences of opinion, offering a syncretic perspective on the lawgiver. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Barrel D @RT93165861 Aug 11, 2026 Historical and religious accuracy is extremely important to me when telling a story rooted in ancient history. In this case, I believe the series should have remained faithful to the Old Testament traditions preserved within Judaism and Christianity. I was very disappointed to see Islamic interpretations incorporated into the story. Islam developed centuries later and contains significant theological and narrative differences from the Jewish and Christian accounts. If the series is presenting an Old Testament story, I believe it should prioritize the original Jewish and Christian source traditions. I also dislike modern DEI or political considerations being inserted when they come at the expense of historical authenticity. Stories like this should reflect the culture, people, beliefs, and setting of the period rather than modern priorities. Because of these choices, the series lost its authenticity for me. 1 star. See more Cem Okan Y @cmyldz23 Apr 29, 2026 Historically it may be accurate or not and I am not an expert in this. However, acting is so bad that you do not want to believe any part of it. See more Stacy D @Anastacia Dec 21, 2025 I love it. The people are represented in a diverse manner. Moses looked Jewish which he was and God was revered and represented with respect. It is fresh air comparison of the trashed that is being shown on modern TV especially in the U.S. See more Najam U @RT74029343 Oct 27, 2024 Such an inappropriate representation of a Prophets so sacred in all three religions. The story starts with him murdering even though it was an accident and not with a stone. Prince Of Egypt had a better representation of an event than this. Not recommended. See more Shady M @RT71468510 Jul 8, 2024 Poor movie and no man could act as God Messenger See more Bubbe F @Bubbef Apr 1, 2024 Biblical history is so hard to put into film. This is hard to watch….it’s pretty cringeworthy. You just cannot recreate miracles on film…and to make it worse the acting is sub par. Sorry. See more Read all reviews
