Queen Cleopatra

Queen Cleopatra is actually the second season of a Netflix docuseries titled African Queens, and describes the life and death of the titular ruler of Egypt. The casting of a biracial actress to play Cleopatra sparked criticism amongst Egyptians, which likely led to the show’s less-than-savory reception.

Camilla Long of The Times wrote: “It is patchy sub-Game of Thrones cosplay interwoven with academics you’ve never heard of.”

Queen Cleopatra has a 10% critic score and a 2% audience score.
