Season 1

Tut (2015), Season 1 watch online on iFILM — a three-part historical drama about the boy who ruled ancient Egypt. For nearly a decade his advisers held the real power. This season is about the moment Tut decides to take it back.

The three parts — "Power," "Betrayal" and "Destiny" — carry the young pharaoh from his first grab for the throne to open war with the Mitanni closing in on Egypt. The danger inside the palace is worse than the army outside it: his vizier, his high priest, his own sister and wife all play their own games. Tut has to learn whose loyalty is real, and every choice costs blood. By the end he is fighting less for the crown than for how history will remember his name.

It's mounted on a grand scale, with Ben Kingsley as the scheming priest Ay and Avan Jogia in the title role. The season rewards viewers who prefer court intrigue to pitched battles, though it has those too. Stream Tut online on iFILM.
