They say that there's no such thing as bad publicity. If people are talking about a project, that means it's doing something right even if the majority are saying otherwise. At one point, you could argue that this is what happened with Netflix's latest docudrama, Queen Cleopatra. But, now, it's hard to find anything good about the series after it earned the dubious honor of posting the lowest audience score in TV history.
Several films and TV shows have featured the ancient Egyptian queen as her beauty and lineage continue to captivate audiences around the globe.
Unfortunately, Netflix's latest portrayal has failed to strike a chord with audiences despite its initial success.
After hoping to be an exciting addition to its lineup of original shows, Queen Cleopatra is now the worst-reviewed show in history. Review aggregator site, Rotten Tomatoes, renowned for its audience and critic ratings, has given the show a record-low score of 2% from audiences and 10% from critics. This reveals the wide chasm of disconnect between the creators of the show and its viewers, which highlights the critical importance of audience feedback in creating successful TV content.
There are several reasons behind the poor reception of the show, chief among which is the historical accuracy of the series or the lack thereof.
