May 13, 2023Complete garbage, not only they are falsificating history, but their show is boring as hell.
-
May 18, 2023This is no a documentary, its just a big lie Netflix should be ashemed, and Jada Pinkett Smith should be sued
-
May 18, 2023It's second try to REWRITE HISTORY after "Woman King", but first labeled as "documentary". American crazies trying to change the history of other countries to cure their own complexes? The world did not begin with the founding of the USA... Worse and more harmful than "Ancient Aliens" because this is what someone can believe

May 26, 2023There is not a single redeeming quality about that so-called docuseries, not even Adele James' laughable, cringy performance that renders Cleopatra as more or less a sub-Saharan tribe leader than a queen.
-
May 15, 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 18, 2023Way beyond being offensive to an entire population.
Poorly written, even worse acted.
Unwatchable -
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 15, 2023Dumb and racist, reimagination of Queen Cleopatra that just isn't right. I'm just as tired of netflix's politics as everyone else.
-
May 16, 2023Why do we waste time and money on creating this filth? Stop re-writing history.
You had the audacity to say this is a documentary. A documentary of stupid politics and absolute insanity -
May 16, 2023this show is racist thats it
-
May 11, 2023Egyptians are angry that Cleopatra is not being portrayed accurately and I respect the people
-
Jun 2, 2023WoW beautiful Netflix I love u so much
-
May 15, 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.

May 19, 2023My grandmother told me that Caesar was Chinese and everyone who said otherwise was racist
-
May 17, 2023Historically inaccurate, what comes next a black Hitler? Blackwashing at its finest
-
Aug 27, 2023seriously? The director said it was a "reimagined cleo" uhhh yeah because that was very clear right? We LITERALLY have paintings and statues of her! HELLO! Sorry Greek people, she's black now...lmao ridiculous
-
May 19, 2023Denying reality just to push a stupid agenda (which most people disagree with) doesn't deserve tolerance. Boycott Netflix till this nightmare is over or until they disappear as a streaming service which wouldn't be a big loss either.
-
Jun 4, 2023I would like to see this actress in a better film. It held my attention, but it played like a soap opera. Historically inaccurate. It appears Jada and those involved have an agenda. Docu-drama, folks. It does'nt matter what your grandmother told you. Very dumbed down as if meant for fifth graders.

May 10, 2023Racist revisionist garbage. If it were ANY other race appropriating the black people/culture, it would instantly get canelled.

-
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, 2023Faking history more of science fictional film than a documentary, not resourced over any respected resources
-
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, 2023Blatant falsification of history and a clear attempt to steal the culture and identity of the Egyptian people! So insulting!
-
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, 2023Worst Documentary ever. Worst Documentary ever. Change in history. False Data.
-
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, 2023This is disgusting and completely inappropriate. All people involved in this are a mayor problem in todays world
-
May 12, 2023Falsification of Egyptian History, and promotes Afro-centric agenda by switching the indeigenous people of Egypt to black. Shame on Netflix
-
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 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 13, 2023bad soap opera,it seems written by people who didn't go to school,infantile and racist,it is absolutely not a truthful documentary
-
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, 2023Docu drama? It wont even pass as a fictional drama! Unwatchable propaganda.
-
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, 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, 2023Stealing Egyptian history making Egyptians subsaharan blk.
Modern Egyptians aren't arabs but the only descendants of ancient Egyptians. -
May 15, 2023Its bad. It presents its self as documentary, but in reality its fiction and netflix tries to rewrite history.
-
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, 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 14, 2023Horrible en todo sentido y dicen documental historico??? Verguenza mundial. Netflix deberia sacar esta porqueria de su plataforma y despedir inmediatamente a Jada
-
May 14, 2023history is not a toy that u can just have fun with.
no matter what ur grandma said, there are studies and researchers who dedicated their life for that. And plus, I am enormously disappointed by OTT companies so called 'Mega-medias' who easily ignore the opinions of weak countries and the people from those. It's just sick -
May 15, 2023This is a disgrace. Calling it a documentary is a crime. I am glad Egyptians still preserve their heritage and said this abomination. Best of luck to them in winning and I hope Netlix delete this show from its library. This is a pure lie and attempt to rewrite history and thous 2 ideas never were together with good people usually with dictators or mentally ill.

May 21, 2023The best thing I can say about this documentary is that other similar ancient history Netflix documentaries also suck. This show is an American colonization of Egyptian history.
-
May 15, 2023One big falsification of history. Waste of time watching this stuff - don't do it.
-
May 15, 2023Whatever they did on their own, they should have taken advice from experts in Egyptology before making such a disaster.
-
May 15, 2023Weak writing and even weaker execution of dramatic scenes in a series that aims to promote an idea and impose it, rather than presenting a historical figure.
-
May 16, 2023a complete piece of c....p. there are no words to describe how dumb and inaccurate this is. total garbage.

May 17, 2023Worst documentary ever made. Nothing in it is true a documentary is supposed to document true stories
-
May 23, 2023Any actor or actress who accepts a culture appropriation role is SHAMELESS. They should have known that the role is not rightfully theirs to take but still steals it anyway
-
May 24, 2023Never seen a bigger piece of nonsense than the woke crap from the stupid. Played badly underground, completely lied together and even archaeologists consider it crap.

May 26, 2023It's disgusting. This is no a documentary, its just a big lie Netflix should be ashemed, and Jada Pinkett Smith should be sued.
-
Jun 5, 2023School, university, library are your friends so this is just another netflx UFO think .... probably a plan to get more audiance
-
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.
