Alexander der Große: Wie er ein Gott wurde

Historical parody in documentary format. Actually, I give 6 points to content that I finish without being bored in the least, but this work misleads people historically. What the historians in this series do is not in line with the ethics of their profession. A historian and archaeologist has an obligation to try presenting history in its most accurate form. As a branch of science, of course, within the most current findings. Professional ethics requires this. I am in a country where we live to see how serious the consequences of distortion of historical facts can be. You may say that it is obvious that the things shown here are not very accurate historically, then what is the point of making a documentary. Also there will always be an audience that will believe and accept what they see.

I'm impressed at least by the fact that Netflix is paying more attention to audiences who are interested in history.

Having said that, I think the hardcore history audience will also demand a lot from the Netflix series.

They're such nerds that they've read everything and expect Netflix to present it to the public just like the books.

It's a docudrama with very strong drama, but it could be worse.

There are a lot of inaccuracies it is true. But giving this documentary 1/10 because you think "Alexander was Greek not Macedonian" reveals how stupid you are despite knowing more about Alexander than the producers.

I was excited to watch this and learn more about Alexander. I'm fascinated by that time frame but it's just episode after episode of boring battle scenes with no real story line. It's all over the place. Huge let down. Another Netflix bomb, I should have known since Netflix doesn't seem interested in producing quality anymore. I'm not sure why they keep putting projects like this out? It's not enjoyable to watch and they also don't seem to respect the truth in their story lines. Another Netflix complete disappointment. It could have been good but it absolutely and completely missed the mark!!!

Not a spoiler, highly inaccurate series. I agree with anither review saying that the 300 movie was more accurate than this 😂. So many missed moments, missed battles, inaccurate events oh so many. It felt like watching something like "ancient aliens", like this is a hypothesis of a couple of PhDs. The disappointing part also is that one of the historians is from St Andrews University. It had such high standards.. Clearly not anymore. Although, that historian was the most serious and studious than the rest of them! One is in love with Alexander and is telling a story that he has in his mind and the other is almost like making fun of him. What an odd series. Only reason I put 4 stars, is for the drama series, not the historians nor the highly inaccurate story.

Yet again, Netflix makes the same mistakes, making everything feel like a joke.

This feels like a cheap soap opera instead of a documentary. The inaccuracy of the historical events are insane, the acting is very sad and forced. Nothing is explained about Alexander's life, they only induced fake drama which makes no sense at all.

This is a shame, Alexander has always been one of my favourite rulers from the past and I was hoping for some new information or at least a good interpretation of the ones all of us know.

This is another Netflix fail, do not waste your time if you are a history nerd, all you will end up on with is being sad and frustrated.
