Moses the Lawgiver

1974–1975 · 1 season

A solemn, dialogue-driven biblical epic that feels like a long, earnest sermon, with moments of tension and grandeur.

Overview: The Story of the Exodus or freedom of Hebrews from Egypt is told in a perspective which highlights Moses' efforts to persuade first the stubborn Pharaoh Merneptah, who was his adopted cousin, to release his work force of slaves. Then, once free and in the wilderness en route to the Promised Land, Moses must prove to be a pious and patient leader or lawgiver to a people who still think they want more out of him or God. For 40 years, Moses must carry on this load and challenge for God and Israel.
How it feels: Earnest, tense, dark and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Faith, freedom, power, survival
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
