May 14, 2023Blackwashing at its finest, nothing like changing history so stunning and brave.
-

-
May 12, 2023Historically inaccurate, terrible actors, the amount of terrible things about that show are uncountable
-
May 13, 2023Just another racist garbage, show itself feels cheap and poorly written. Theres no reason to butcher one of the most well known queens just cause you want to be woke, its stupid and offensive.
-
May 13, 2023Cleopatra was not a black woman, she was a greek woman. Stop black washing history. It's fine if you do it to a fictional character like Ariel from the little mermaid, but not an actual historical figure.
-
May 13, 2023Terrible beyond comprehension. If you’re going to try and rewrite history with this Afro-centric nonsense, at least do a better job than this. Laughable and offensive in equal measures.
-
May 13, 2023Calling itself a historical documentary. Stealing other's history and try to rewrite it.
-
May 13, 2023If Metacritic allowed for -1 to be given, I would give this that. Utter garbage.

-
May 13, 2023Another woke garbage produced by Netwoke ,i hope they lose all their money and go bankrupt
-
May 12, 2023I wish i could give less than zero.
Unfortunately there's mo way, its a trash, a power fantasy, a self insert from the director. -
May 12, 2023I can't believe Netflix got scammed I to making this from a producer whose only accomplishment is marrying Will Smith. And now she ruined his career to promote hers, what a psycho. She destroyed the image of Cleopatra the same as she did her husband's

May 12, 2023Distortion of History...nothing to see here. Netflix pushing its agenda, as always. And as a macedonian Greek myself, like Cleopatra, I feel insulted.

May 12, 2023This series is very weak, unconvincing, and makes you very bored. I think it is the worst historical series ever.
-
May 12, 2023Worst thing on Netflix. Shameful to history. I understand why historians and Egyptians argue this documentary is bad. Netflix should have called this fiction, then no one would have cared.
-
May 12, 2023Stealing Egyptian history making Egyptians subsaharan blk.
Modern Egyptians aren't arabs but the only descendants of ancient Egyptians. -
May 12, 2023I'm so happy that we can all unite to hate trash like this. **** netflix and their stupid ass ideology.
-
May 12, 2023Falsification of Egyptian History, and promotes Afro-centric agenda by switching the indeigenous people of Egypt to black. Shame on Netflix

May 12, 2023This is the true definition of cultural appropriation!! The insane amount of historical falsification and racism towards Egyptians in this “documentary” is unbelievable and as an Egyptian I will not stand by a group of people trying to steal my history and strip Egyptians out of their identity in the name of diversity. This is Egypt not America and this madness has to stop ASAP….

May 12, 2023If I was Egyptian I would be pi**ed.
If I was or Northern African heritage I would be pi**ed.
If I was of Macedonian/greek heritage I would be pi**ed.
Historically inaccurate and misleading where's the fact checkers on this one. Don't watch this garbage. Don't know how they are allowed to call it a DOCUMENTARY it's falsifying history and should be removed. -
May 12, 2023Docu drama? It wont even pass as a fictional drama! Unwatchable propaganda.
-
May 12, 2023It's not a historical docudrama, it's an anachronistic 21st century soap opera with a few paid academic talking heads to give it a thin veneer of respectability. What little information we get about Cleopatra has more to do with truthiness and feelings than anything resembling historical fact.
-
May 12, 2023The Afrocentric community should create its own history instead of trying to find its place in the world by stealing the culture and history of others with total absence of shame. It's an insult to all of mankind.
-
May 12, 2023And ladies and gentlemen, this is how people become racists…Disgusting distortion of history. The Egyptians didn't really like blacks and they mostly did the most menial jobs in Egypt. And being Greek, I also feel insulted...
-
May 12, 2023HollyWOKE, this is the next level of Orwellian gaslighting and revisionism, DISGUSTING! Stop supporting and giving money to Netflix, Disney and all these companies until there is a change of the regime in them!
-
May 12, 2023This purports to be a documentary but it isn't. It's still of lies and even by the directors admission has a clear political agenda Totally fake "documentary" produced my Jada Pinkett Smith. Enough said!
-
May 11, 2023A poor, racist attempt at blackwashing factual history. Sources pointing from "dude trust me" to something someone's racist grandma said. Offensive, poorly made, and in bad taste. Everyone involved in this should be ashamed. Revising other races' history to push an afrocentric agenda nonsense must end.

-
May 11, 2023There is no evidence to decidedly say what Cleopatra's race was. Instead of having multiple actress portray her they go for only one. It is disgraceful to the person and the country in which she ruled.
-
May 11, 2023Agenda based revisionism that has no basis in historical facts. It should come as no suprise that netflix would produce such trash just look at previous "historical documentaries" they have produced like Roman empire reign of blood l, to see that netflix cares not for historical accuracy.
-
May 11, 2023This is disgusting and completely inappropriate. All people involved in this are a mayor problem in todays world
-
May 11, 2023False Historical Tv show. It shows false information based on producer ideoligical thoughts. It is more a science fiction tv show than a documentary one. Do not recommend to see it!!
-
May 11, 2023Worst Documentary ever. Worst Documentary ever. Change in history. False Data.

May 11, 2023How utterly embarrassing for Netflix. This show comes across as a poorly written and acted soap opera. It's not even historically accurate. STOP BLACKWASHING CHARACTERS! Queen Cleopatra was not black, and was likely Greek, if not Egyptian.

May 11, 2023Absolute garbage! So sick of wokies rewriting history. Cleopatra was greek! Ok! Avoid this trash!
-
May 11, 2023Blatant falsification of history and a clear attempt to steal the culture and identity of the Egyptian people! So insulting!
-
May 11, 2023This rewriting of history and black-washing other people's culture is shameless and outrageous to say the least. That aside, it still looks cheap and screams mediocrity devoid of any real substance. In short it's trash that reeks of racism and cultural appropriation.
-
May 11, 2023How is this a "documentary" when its as historically accurate as star wars? Cleopatra was Macedonian....
-
May 11, 2023Awful reimagining of Cleopatra would not recommend.
Stop trying to rewrite history!!!!! -
May 11, 2023it's surreal that they're swapping ethnicity for historical figures and saying it's true. In history there was an Austrian who was very obsessed with races, this was catastrophic for humanity.
-
May 11, 2023Egyptians are angry that Cleopatra is not being portrayed accurately and I respect the people
-
May 11, 2023More blackwashing of other people's culture and history. What more needs to be said? Can't spell Netflix without the L.
-
May 11, 2023Um documentário que tenta deturpar a história de maneira preguiçosa e barata, negando quanlquer fato comprovado por historiadores para criar uma narrativa falsa baseada em achismo.
-
May 11, 2023Blackwashed trash. Netflix needs to be boycotted same as Bud Light. We need to vote with our wallets and drive these woke companies out of business. I am done cancelled Netflix.
-
May 11, 2023Fake historical facts, in netflix form.
Don't waste your time, this show is totally innacurate. -
May 11, 2023Too many historical inaccuracies
Serves the Afrocentric agenda
Too soapy for documentaries audiences
Not soapy enough for other viewers
Don't waste your time, not worth watching -

May 11, 2023that's what happen when your only goal is to send a political message and not making a good accurate show.
-
May 11, 2023An insult to the Egyptian people. It disgusts me and offends me that this exists.
-
May 11, 2023I’m not sure why we are okay with erasing history of certain groups. I often ask myself in politics, “If the roles were reversed and this happened, how would I feel?” I can confidently say that the outrage would be deafening in this case had the roles been reversed.
-
May 10, 2023Faking history more of science fictional film than a documentary, not resourced over any respected resources
-
May 10, 2023So unhistorical and so wrong all of this stuff....it should come out with the label science fiction rather than documentary
-
May 10, 2023Disgusting, WRONG, and beyond disappointing. To ERASE a people's identity for a VANITY PROJECT is unthinkable and this show must be taken down immediately. It's wrong on ALL educational/academic levels and they have people straight up LIE in this ''DOCUMENTARY". Jada should be ashamed of herself, and her horrifying butchering of one of the most WELL KNOWN QUEENS IN THE WORLD, and throughout TIME.
-
May 10, 2023
-
May 10, 2023The lack of character, and professionalism from EVERY single cast member of this show, makes one WORST shows ever filmed, the plot is bland, tasteless, the story is linear without any sense of progression, it lacks everything, and remarks in absolutely nothing, I wish I could have my time back, it was a waste of time and a waste of money.
-
May 10, 2023This is garbage very offensive garbage!!! It is the same if Hollywood made a documentary about Nelson Mandela but the actor must be white skin. Can you imagine what would happen? and how educated people act by staying without shouting or looting. I think we must do it cause of all those years all these swaps for no reason, just because.
-
May 10, 2023Racist revisionist garbage. If it were ANY other race appropriating the black people/culture, it would instantly get canelled.
-
May 10, 2023Dumb, poorly-made, cheap-looking, wildly-inaccurate. A complete and total mess on every level. The one good thing it did was remind me to cancel my Netflix account.
-
Obviously it can’t be serious historians (although it has serious historians in it) because they don’t need key moments acted out by thespians hamming it up like an episode of Tracy Beaker. Then again it has too many clever talking heads to please those who like history served up like Carry On Cleo.
-
Though we liked the experts that were interviewed for Queen Cleopatra, as well as Adele James’ performance as the famous queen, the dramatic sequences leave too much to be desired to keep us from just reading about Cleopatra online to get the information we want.
-
Despite having to vacillate between descriptions of her subject as a politician, a seductress and a warrior, James manages to excel in each. She brings intelligence and nuance to a performance that is strikingly better than what surrounds her.
