So nauseatingly racially PC as to be insulting
I turned it off
My entire family was very disappointed
Samson was not a negro.
The Ethiopian in the NT? Did he exist or was the writer simply being PC?
I saw some of this series and was disappointed as well. Get Semitic actors to play Semitic characters - - there must be some out there somewhere... The makeup, the hairdos... that stuff bothers me the way it has always bothered me to see paintings of Jesus with blonde hair. Seeing African blacks and northern European whites playing Semitic characters just doesn’t cut it.
About the only leeway I give in these kinds of historical films is the dialogue - - ideally I would prefer original languages spoken, with the film subtitled, but I realize that’s asking too much.
