I don’t have Netflix, and I obviously won’t be watching, but artistic license is a playable card anytime. I mean, Moses didn’t look like Charleton Heston and Pharaoh Ramses didn’t look like Yul Brynner, but it was a good movie.

While I don't completely agree with modern, mostly western, entertainment portraying historical people as radically different ethnicities, the problem is this show is presenting itself as at least part documentary. That means it should be held to a higher standard regarding authenticity.
