Despite being in Netflix's top 10 series, Queen Cleopatra has majorly crashed in audience ratings. Currently, the docu-series has scored a mere two per cent out of 100 from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes - giving it one of the worst audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes ever.
The historical four-part show also stands at a woeful 1.1 out of 10 on IMDB and sports a Tomatometer of 11 per cent with critics. The dismal scores come as the Netflix 'African Queens' series received widespread backlash upon its release last Wednesday (May 10).
Many viewers have expressed fury at the show's portrayal of Cleopatra VII as a black woman, sparking controversy around the docuseries' historical accuracy. A lot of historians have said Cleopatra VII was likely Greek Macedonian, and not Black.
