Throughout the miniseries' four episodes, Fletcher is shown visiting numerous tombs, ruins, archaeological sites, and other locations across Egypt, as well as examining artefacts housed at various British museums.

[3] Sally Newall of The Independent wrote of Immortal Egypt that, "You couldn't fault Fletcher's passion or knowledge, which, like in her previous outing in Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings, was always accessible"; this perceived accessibility, Newall said, "[makes] it easy to share her enthusiasm – even without Egyptology's most eye-catching artifacts".

[8] The Telegraph's Phil Harrison gave the miniseries a positive review, writing: "Fletcher's greatest achievement has been to rescue these abstract historical figures from the ossuary and endow them with real, relatable humanity.

There's also her passion – declaiming enthusiastically from burial chambers and stomping keenly around archaeological digs, she's frequently seemed not just fascinated by her subjects but visibly moved by their travails.
