Yes there are eyerolls aplenty (and some ill-judged plotlines), but it also stepped into surprisingly difficult territory – about race, women’s health and the assumption that we all want babies.

Yes, it’s not a show – but there are so many reasons to love this adventurous romp through ancient Egypt vis-à-vis 1920s Egyptomania and a recently awoken curse.
