New Netflix show gets Rotten Tomatoes score of just 2% as its slammed as 'cringey'

A new Netflix show has scored just two percent on Rotten Tomatoes as viewers slammed it as 'cringey.'

Queen Cleopatra, a four-part docu-series produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, explores the rise of the ruler, as well as her personal life, including her love affairs. She was the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, and its last active ruler.

The show has caused some controversy, leaving viewers divided over Cleopatra's racial background, while others have claimed it is inaccurate. The format of the show has also left people questioning why it is being classed as a documentary.
