Below I’ll share a recap of The Old Stories: Moses Episode 2 (“The Confrontation”), which focuses on Moses’ return to Egypt and his confrontation with Pharaoh that results in the plagues like the Nile turning to blood, swarms of locusts, the darkening of the sun, and finally the death of the firstborn (Exodus 5-12). I’ll also share my review of the episode and (eventually) my analysis of key themes and ideas.

The Old Stories: Moses is a three-part mini-series adapting the biblical story of Moses’ encounter with God in the Burning Bush, the confrontation between Moses (Sir Ben Kingsley) and Pharaoh (O-T Fagbenle), and the exodus of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt. It’s also the first spin-off of Wonder Project’s House of David series

The Faithful: Women of the Bible Episodes 5 and 6 (“The Woman Who Loved") bring Fox’s biblical mini-series to a conclusion with the story of Leah (played by Millie Brady) and Rachel (played by Blue Hunt), the daughters of Laban (played by James Purefoy) and sister-wives of Jacob (played by Tom Payne) who give birth to his twelve sons (Genesis 29-35). Below I’ll offer an overview of the episodes and share my review/reaction.
