Tut (2015)

Sure, there were a bunch of Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs, but nobody cares about Djoser, Khufu, or any of the other ones that Steve Martin didn't rap about. They only care about Tutankhamen AKA King Tut. Few TV renditions of King Tut's rise to power have ever been showcased. One of the most celebrated and renowned leaders in history, he was only a child when he rose to power and left his mark on Egypt. Tut's world was a cataclysmic clash of backstabbing, war, love, and all the pains of adolescence—all of which makes for one hell of a series. Tut (2015) is a three-part miniseries on Spike that followed the youngest ever Egyptian king (played by Avan Jogia) through his trials and tribulations when Egypt was the most advanced civilization in the world. In the first part, King Tut's dad Akhenaten (Silas Carson) is poisoned, which puts nine-year-old Tut into power. He marries his sister Ankhesenamun (Sibylla Deen), which pisses off his friend Ka (Peter Gadiot), and lets Vizier Ay (Ben Kingsley) make all the tough choices, which pisses off the people of Egypt. In the second episode Tut's deemed dead after a battle and has to limp his way home to stop Ka from stealing his girl and taking his crown. Lastly, we got to watch as Tut gets hurt in battle, screwed over by Ay, and put in the crappy tomb that will lead to his body not being discovered until 1922. This Tut's not afraid to strut, because Avan Jogia is a gorgeous man we see shirtless as he's being nursed to health. Young and beautiful, he's barely wearing more than a loin cloth as he shows his lean, olive skinned body. A pretty boy unafraid to wear mascara, Mr. Man would love to call that future mummy daddy! But King Tut is the only one having fun in this scandalous series. Peter Gadiot bares his buns as he gets down and dirty with a lucky lady, while they both spend quite a bit of time sword fighting sans shirt. Is it just us, or are we in the wrong century? That's one nice butt in Tut!
