It was too boring for me to give it much of a chance. I'm not really crazy about this format which mixes interviews with experts with dramatization. It feels like it's neither here nor there.
I turned it off after the Sub-Saharan Arabs of Midian have a wedding for Moses that includes breaking a glass - a tradition that comes from a story in the Talmud, which was written around 400-500 CE. (Hundreds of years after the life of Jesus) Moses also gets married under a "chuppah" (canopy), a Jewish tradition that started in medieval Europe. Both of these traditions began long after the time period Exodus is set in.
If that's how this "documentary" begins, I think I've seen enough.
