Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

VimalaNowlis I loved "The Red Tent" and really looked forward to the story of Masada from the women's point of view. But this show is so disappointing as it shows nothing but re-affirming the ancient Judaim prejudice of self- righteous myopic racism that only the Jews are the chosen people and everyone else is scum and not entitled to live much less any consideration. This show made no concession that anyone else could possibly be right except those in the Masada and no other view is allowed because the freedom-fighters are exempt from any criticism. When they kill the Romans, it's justified. When the Romans kill them, it's atrocity. Unfortunately, one minority group's patriots are another people's terrorists. The only modern people who can still accept the premise of this show is the ultra-conservative-Zionists.However, if this concept is allowed the Zionists, why not the Muslim Terrorists who are the latest incarnation of the most terrifying and revolting aspects of the bigoted Judeo/Christian/Islam religious tradition? Shouldn't they be allowed to use the same arguments and the same rules as the new "freedom-fighters"?What about the Palestinians? The Jews went into Canaan when it was already occupied. The Palestinians were there long before the Jews and continued to be there before the "return" of the Jews. If the Romans were wrong for invading and conquering Judea, what about the Jews for invading and conquering Palestine and massacring everyone who were there before and for walling-off those there are there now? And what's with those women? Can't wait to sleep with the first good- looking man they see? Just because they are "in love", they selfishly dived in with eyes closed. It doesn't matter who they hurt because love excuses everything? It doesn't matter who they use or betray because they are in love? Absolutely ridiculous!And poison the water of the Roman camp? How did the Jews like it when the Christians used to accuse them of doing the same in Europe? Now it's "heroic" when a Jewish woman did it? Killing by any means should be permitted because it's done by a Jewish woman? How shallow is the writer and the producer? They need to look in the mirror first before they accuse others for what they are doing and they should looking around twice before taking sides. I give the show a rating of "3" because the costume is nice, the color scheme is pleasant, and the set seems authentic. But I don't think I can stomach watching the rest of the show.

chancellorethrilpalpatine I wish we could offer a -10 on the rating. Don't waste your time if you're looking for something even mildly close to what we know from history. There were so many mistakes. The authors failed to research anything. People from this time period not only wanted freedom, they were devout Jews following a very conservative lifestyle and belief. Infidelity would have never happened. Sex with slaves would never have happened. They lived communally and shared almost everything. When they met their end, there wasn't a shouts or screams, they understood what they faced if the Romans took them alive. Crucifixion. Every man, woman and child would die on a cross. Besides a few names, the Roman 10th, and the fact that this happened at Masada, they didn't get much right. It's an insult and CBS should be forced to apologias to the entire Jewish community for this insult.

sonshine-57581 Thank you Roma and Mark -beats all the garbage on TV, we can't hardly watch regular TV anymore, let alone cable ,too much trash. looking forward to much more Christian centered, bible stories, thank you for your conviction, God bless! The acting was good and I personally love the historical info. We need more clean, positive programs on TV or we may give it up, just watch our movies and read books. We could all use more history. Interesting how the same problems are going on in mankind, we just don't really change as humans, same old issues, ironic how so much of what is going on in the world now, was going on back in 70 ad, we love learning more of ancient Middle East history/stories, helps us to understand the evolution of cultures and societies.We Americans need to learn more history of here and the world....or may be destined to keep repeating it........

blueriverstones Just another TV show to sway American sympathies to Zionist Israel. Using the bible stories to 'beat the drum' for the poor Jewish people, to take away attention from the treatment of Palestinians now by Israel. We are not all naive. The acting is poor. It is demeaning toward woman, even if partially true to tale, it portrays women as home breakers who would sleep around. Sam Neal seems oddly miscast as a Jewish roman. The one star is for the geology of Masada. It was very odd that only certain women wore colorful clothing, everyone else wore drab brown. There were never people around to observe the stolen kisses and trysts.
