The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny,” the synopsis provided by Netflix reads.

“Showrunners Roberto Patino & David Wiener share: “Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story — about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance. But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time.”
