This special-event series tells the story of King Tutankhamun's rise to power and his struggle to lead Egypt to glory, while his closest advisors, friends and lovers scheme for their own nefarious interests. "Tut" opens up a fascinating window into a world filled with heart-breaking romance, epic battles, political backstabbing, conspiracy, jealousy and even murder. (official distributor synopsis)

It is said that watching historical films causes experts to have headaches. In this case, they should avoid this miniseries altogether, as it could lead to serious health complications. The little that is known about Tutankhamun and his reign has been completely turned upside down by the filmmakers. Instead of a historical spectacle, a romantic adventure fairytale was created. If you are interested in such a spectacle, you may not be disappointed. In terms of craftsmanship, it is well made, and the result looks even more expensive than the money invested, which amounts to half a victory for the producer of such a film. Personally, I was bothered by the ubiquitous naivety and colorfulness and I gave up after watching just one episode. I do not like movies where appearance is more important than content. Overall impression: 35%. ()
