El Cid (2020–2021)

AMAZING!

This is accurate in almost every aspect and the story is sublime! Some people might think muslims didn't drink in Spain back then, but that is incorrect. Spain (Al-Andalus) was ruled very differently from how today Islamic countries are. It is so refreshing to see an impartial view on this moment of history!

Highly recommended!

I am a Spanish citizen who have deeply studied this critical time in histroy in Spain, during the transition of different empires and dominant religions. I can proudly say that the give a fairly impartial view on Islam, Christianity and how they lived back then. It is compeltely true that muslims were allowed to drink in Spain; Al-Andalus was part of the Islamic empire but they had their own interpretation of the Quran and they were very open minded about other religions. I am certainly happy this show made it to Amazon Prime so that the entire world can be educated on such an exciting time in history!
