The three-night six-hour miniseries... offers occasionally beautiful production design, but mostly Tut serves soggy melodrama that embraces every boy-to-king cliche one might imagine.

Tut at least signifies an attempt to attract a broader audience beyond fans of, say, mixed martial-arts fighting and SpongeBob SquarePants reruns with a respectable TV epic that gets a lot of things right about King Tut's reign.

Tut's cast is comprised of young actors with matinee-idol good looks that makes for a consistently attractive viewing experience, nonetheless hampered by an undeniable superficial quality.
July 17, 2015
Despite some handsome visuals, colorful costumes and more eyeliner than in an entire season of RuPaul's Drag Race, Tut is as dry as the desert air.
July 16, 2015
The good special effects, interiors and locations help keep our heads in the past, as do the actors' committed performances. In a better world, destiny, the gods and opportunity would have given the actors a better way to use their talent.

Three nights' worth of Tut became a slog, some of it through copious amounts of spurting blood.

Tut has all of the makings for a powerful re-entry into scripted programming for Spike TV, unfortunately the series falls short, giving it more of a soap opera feel, than the epic saga that I'd hoped for.
July 17, 2015
The perception going in was that Tut would be a laughable feast. My truth going out is that it plays out much better than anticipated.
July 17, 2015
Suitably blood-drenched and lavish, but narratively hollow, Spike's new mini-series Tut is about as slow moving as the titular boy king's mummified corpse, and feels just as fresh.

Meanwhile, the soap keeps generating suds, while Kingsley plays it solemn and serious.
July 20, 2015
The series is so devoid of any real riches, it should be hosted by Geraldo.
July 20, 2015
Spike unveils its first major scripted production, Tut, a largely enjoyable, if uneven three-night epic.
