The Red Tent

First of all, I found out about this show checking the IMDb.com page of Rebecca Ferguson. I really enjoyed her acting in The White Queen, so, seeing that this show is set in Biblical times, I assumed it's worth watching. I cannot say it is not good, however, I found some things truly annoying about. For instance, the weird piano music at romantic/sad/emotional scenes in the show. What's that about? It would be appropriate for a movie set in the 19th Germany or England, not this era. That put me right off of every scene where the music started to play. Secondly, this might be of personal taste, but I didn't find the actors convincing as Middle Eastern people either. Despite these things, the costumes are amazing, the set well done and the acting itself rather convincing. Sadly though, this will not be a show that I recommend my friends to watch.
