Netflix is no stranger to poorly-received shows. Several of the streamer’s original series have drawn unflattering reviews and an underwhelming response from viewers. But the initial reaction to Netflix’s new Queen Cleopatra docuseries has been vitriolic, to say the least.
At the time of writing, the four-episode historical drama has an audience score of just 2% on Rotten Tomatoes, and its early critics score isn’t much better at just 10%. While it’s had few write-ups from professional critics, the audience score comes from more than 5,000 ratings suggesting that many Netflix subscribers are far from impressed with the show. And RT isn’t an outliner either; over on IMDb, it’s rated just 1.0/10 from more than 48,000 total scores.
