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, 2023Complete garbage, not only they are falsificating history, but their show is boring as hell.
-
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, 2023Stop faking and blackwashing our ancient egyptian history
-
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, 2023Horriblee
0% of historical accuracy
She’s a white greek mediterranean woman
Also her whole family The show makes them look like nigerians
-
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.
