  A documentary that uses every means at its disposal to get us excited about the life story of one of the greatest military leaders of all time, Alexander the Great. Historian talking heads and news of recent archaeological finds buttress the show’s suitably energetic dramatic reconstructions, which make heavy use of mascara and blue contact lenses, as well as growling extras holding sharpened poles. The story gets going properly when Alexander’s father, Philip II, dies and the young commander decides he’s absolutely had it with the Persians. Netflix, from Wednesday   31 January
