    Netflix and Jada Smith, along with every other lowlife managed to spit on historical facts and cultures of Egypt and Greece by blackwashing one of the most famous rulers in history.

    I don`t understand how they thought this could possibly be a good idea ???

    This 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.

    A 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.

It is not racist on the part of the Egyptians to attack the blacks of skin, but against the blacks of hearts who have no history and are trying to steal the history of the ancient Egyptians. And how is the history of Egypt and the ancient Egyptians to you when your countries do not have any civilization comparable to the civilization of the ancient Egyptians, and there is no resemblance between you and the drawings that our ancestors left on the walls of the temples.

    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 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

    Weak 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.

    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.

    I'm just gonna say it: I'm sick and tired of seeing people of color cast as the main actors in every movie or series nowadays. I'm sick and tired. I want to see a 100% white movie at this point that's how sick and tired I am of this diversity garbage.

    Another virtue signalling, revisionist pile of dinosaur poop from woke Hollywood, that aims to rewrite actual history to boost "feminist" and racially motivated ideology. Up is down. Black is white, (or in this case, white is black), 1+1 equals 3, dumb is intelligent, outright lies are real truths, all parroted with fluent carney half-truths and outright fudging of facts with distortionistAnother virtue signalling, revisionist pile of dinosaur poop from woke Hollywood, that aims to rewrite actual history to boost "feminist" and racially motivated ideology.

    Never 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.

    It's disgusting. This is no a documentary, its just a big lie Netflix should be ashemed, and Jada Pinkett Smith should be sued.

    I have no idea if this is worth a darn or not but seeing all the whining "F*** your feeling" crowd out in full force because someone is black on film needs a response. You should all go and watch Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's so you can get back in your racist happy place.

    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

    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!

    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.
