    you can't title a movie "documentary" and then make 80%+ of it with stories that do not have any resemblance to reality!
    you could make Cleopatra a 3 legged alien who fought the Vikings in 1800 USA if this movie was a fictional movie, NOT documentary (well "docudrama"), but this is ridiculous and worst: is intentional!

    i think giving a tv show 0 is just lazy. It is coherent and reasonably well produced. As history it hsa absolutely no value. But there are some people who might enjoy it and find it uplifting or entertaining or something.

    I personally thought it was extremely, ridiculously bad

    The bl@ckwashing of history continues, in modern day w0ke clown world, and this is the crowning jewel sitting atop the burning pyre of mind virus infected corpses. We see this pervasive revisionism in all aspects of our society, and only in a single direction, sadly this is just another in a long line of trash tier programming attempting to convey a particular message.

    Ignorant colonial narrative.
    And now, Netflix accuses the people of Egypt of racism. That's ridiculous, to say the least. What really is racism is the Western/American concept of "Black Only" Africa, which homogenizes a real diversity of races, ethnoi and peoples of Africa. Egypt is North Africa, Ancient Egyptians were Afroasiatic ethnos, closely related to Berbers and Semits. Cleopatra,    Ignorant colonial narrative.

Why not tell a story about one of them, instead of using the American gaze and exploiting the American Black agenda in the context of different parts of the world, different nations, and different cultures?

    When it comes to taking history out of context to this extent, maybe Jada Pinket Smith and her followers should learn something: if they really cared about Africa and African history, and they bothered to visit any African country at any point in their lives, they would maybe then realize that Africa is 50% white/tan 50% black. What is this automatic assumption that people have? They are disrepecting an entire continent. This is absurd.

    The show has also been criticized for its bad acting. The actors in the show are often wooden and unconvincing, and they fail to bring the characters to life. The show's lead actress, Adele James, has been particularly criticized for her performance.

    Overall, Queen Cleopatra is a disappointing show that fails to live up to its potential. The show is historically inaccurate, poorly written, and badly acted. It is hard to recommend this show to anyone, even fans of historical dramas. The show is also disrespectful to the Greek people. By blackwashing Cleopatra with a black actress, the show is erasing their history and culture. This is unfair to the Greek people, who have a long and rich history. Do better.    … Expand

    Queen Cleopatra is a disaster of a show that fails to capture the essence of one of history’s most fascinating figures. The plot is full of clichés, inaccuracies and melodrama, while the acting is wooden, bland and unconvincing. The costumes and sets look cheap and tacky, and the CGI effects are laughable.

    I admire Egyptian history, but this documentary is terrible, there are no plots, a good script. It's pure ideology, which I don't like. Netflix being woke again.

    Une révision de l'histoire visant à satisfaire une minorité. La culture 'Woke' que vous (Netflix) promouvez est répugnante et elle divise plus qu'elle n'unit. Personnellement je me désabonne et vous souhaite un bon rétablissement mental

    Racial revision at its finest by people who do not know history, Cleo was a woman born in greek Macedonian dynasty from when Alexander the great conquers Egypt in what world would she be black? Egypt was a diverse civilization and there were nubian dynasties but they assumed all Egypt was black by default when it never was. Racist cultural appropriation propaganda.

    It's hard to find the words to describe how terrible documentaries that promote inaccuracy, anti-science and racism are, such as the one Netflix recently released. This series is an affront to truth, reason and Egyptian culture. Instead of showing respect and understanding for Egypt's rich history and culture, the series grotesquely appropriates it and promotes a biased and racist view ofIt's hard to find the words to describe how terrible documentaries that promote inaccuracy, anti-science and racism are, such as the one Netflix recently released. This series is an affront to truth, reason and Egyptian culture. Instead of showing respect and understanding for Egypt's rich history and culture, the series grotesquely appropriates it and promotes a biased and racist view of it.
    Instead of showing the beauty and complexity of Egyptian culture, the series seems more interested in imposing a stereotypical and false view of Egyptians. Furthermore, the series blatantly promotes blackwashing, and uses its platform to impose a biased and supremacist version of African-American culture, overriding and stealing history and culture from other parts of the world. The series purports to be a tribute to Egyptian culture, but in reality is an insult to its legacy and an affront to historical truth. It is a shame that Netflix allowed this series to be released, and it is even sadder that there are people who watch it and promote it as a positive thing.
    It is also important to note that the series promotes the false and racist idea that Cleopatra was a black woman. This theory has no historical backing, and has been debunked by numerous historians and archaeologists. The attempt to impose this false and biased version of history is another example of how the series seeks to eliminate Egyptian culture and race in favor of a biased and supremacist view of African-American culture. Because according to Hollywood and the woke racial supremacists, the fact that you are Latino or African immediately makes you black, and now they think they have the right to order you how to think about YOUR race and YOUR culture, they do it to Latinos with terms like "Latinx", it's a racist term invented to make American wokes with a 0.0000001% Latino percentage feel Latino like Jenna Ortega. This my friends, is called COLONIALISM.
    If you say all of Africa is black, regardless of the evidence of multiraciality on that continent, what is the difference between a white supremacist KKK to a liberal woke? None, they just change the color of a disgustingly supremacist speech.
    It's a shame that the hypothetical Netflix documentary was produced and released. The series is an example of how certain individuals and groups in the Western world, particularly left wing liberal woke in America, can appropriate other cultures and impose their caricatured and false version of them. Instead of respecting and honoring Egypt's rich history and culture, the series seeks to impose a biased and false view of it, and to degrade and reduce Egyptian culture to a racist, colonialist and simplistic stereotype.
    It should be noted that the producers and creators of the series seem to be completely ignorant of Egyptian history and culture. They are apparently more interested in promoting their own political agenda, rather than educating and entertaining their audience in an accurate and responsible manner. It is unfortunate that the series is seen by some as a tribute to Egyptian culture, when in fact it is an insult to its legacy and an affront to historical truth.    … Expand

    Ah bah d’accord, la corpo wokiste Netflisk continue sa propagande de merde à plein régime… Après la ‘Reine Charlotte’, voici notre bonne vieille Cléo qui passe à la casserole de la cancel culture révisionniste : elle aussi, elle est devenue… noire ! mais pas seulement elle… quasiment tous les Egyptiens également.

Les Romains aussi, ils voulaient en faire des Noirs… mais ils n’ont pas osé.

    Netflix toujours aussi prompte donc à refaire l’histoire afin de plaire aux minorités… quoique… il me semble que parmi les Afro-Américains ou les Africains, nombreux sont ceux ou celles qui veulent simplement… la vérité historique ? du moins, je le suppose.

    Car je rappelle entre parenthèses et à toutes fins utiles que la glorieuse civilisation égyptienne n’était pas noire… En fait, c’est comme si l’on se mettait à démouler une autre série (de merde) retraçant une dynastie chinoise avec des Blancs ! (par exemple).

    Oh ben tiens, une idée pour la corpo woke Netflex, pourquoi pas une nouvelle série sur Marco Polo : il sera noir (ou à moitié noir et maghrébin) et lorsqu’il arrivera (enfin) en Chine, il y trouvera des Pakistanais ! uniquement des Pakistanais, t’entends ? mais habillé comme des Chinois. Et puis voilà. Elle est pas belle la vie… en « 1984 » ! et dire que cette daube se prétend un… documentaire ?!?… ça va pas la tête ?!    … Expand

    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.
