I just loved this. It was surprising in the most pleasant of ways and it felt different for disney. As a child i loved Egyptian mythology & it was refreshing to see them borrow from what is ancient to create something new (I guess the comic did it first and they stayed fairly close to the comic). Well written, fast paced, non stop action, fantastic acting by Oscar Isaacs and Ethan Hawke, trippy sci fi mythological beasts, fantastical scenes and characters. Addictive watching. They managed to make something really special here. Probably not for children below 13 or 12 due to violence and some dark themes like the mental health state of the main character.

I almost wrote this series off in the first episode because the cgi background was so poor in that episode. But I stuck with it,and boy was I glad I did! The story was well written & entertaining, the action thrilling, the acting on point (& you get the distinct impression that everyone is having fun filming) & you end up caring for the characters. I love a period piece & this one's a doozey. Andy was a talent not to be outshone but there were many other actors of note on set too and they give it everything. Violent, so not for kids. But for adults who love fast paced, drama, violence, s*x and history, you cant look away.
