Black Cleopatra poorest performing Netflix show of all time

While I had heard about the controversy surrounding Netflix’s “docudrama” Queen Cleopatra, I hadn’t been tracking it much since it was actually released a few days ago. It’s #6 in Netflix’s Top 10 list, and I don’t think I’ve seen it go all that much higher than that.

However, the show has done something I didn’t think was even possible. It has not just the lowest audience score in Netflix history, it has essentially the lowest audience score possible on Rotten Tomatoes, a 1%. Not a 10%, a 1%. (Update: It just ticked up to 2%. Still an unprecedented low)

There aren’t many critic reviews in, but those are low as well, with the show sitting at a 13%. But those audience scores? I’ve never seen anything like this. Not with bad shows. Not with politically controversial shows prone to review bombing. Never this bad, not in Netflix history. Honesty, I think not even in TV history, at least with this many reviews in (over a thousand).

I’ve previously written about series with low Netflix review scores. The last time I broached this topic was when Netflix’s now-cancelled Resident Evil adaptation scored a 22% with fans, one of the lowest I’d ever seen on the service. That was low compared to other high profile Netflix misses, Jupiter’s Legacy with 73%, Space Force with 77%, Haters Back Off with 76%, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness with 39%. Fans usually rate things higher than critics, even bad shows, and the point being, a 1% audience score seems borderline mathematically impossible, even with the controversy the film has attracted.

Somebody needs to send a military force to release the Vatican archives that hold the real history, that they assiduously hide.


They don't have the real history either. It's lost.

Until you realize that consumption of media is a vice, you're not going to understand reality.

Keep your kids away from the shit and don't acknowledge it yourself. It will go away if it doesn't sell.


It's not going away. The propaganda tool will be kept alive even when nobody pays attention to it.

Nobody actually reads the NY Times, but it continues to exist. Who actually listens to the radio still? That still exists.

Everything filmed is made up. Even documentaries.


I was pretty disappointed to find out that lemmings do not jump off cliffs, but rather Disney drove them off a cliff just to make a movie that they could sell.

According to a 1983 investigation by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation producer Brian Vallee, the lemming scenes were faked. The lemmings supposedly committing mass suicide by leaping into the ocean were actually thrown off a cliff by the Disney filmmakers.

Radio is still active in cars, jobs, and on back patios. Radio would not have so many local advertisers if no one was listening.

I'd have to actually listen to a radio to find out what they are pushing. Commercial advertising is linked directly to social propaganda as well. You can see that with Budweiser. Remember, conglomerates own companies. Fox news and Dominion are both controlled by Blackrock - the suit wouldn't have gone forward if Blackrock didn't see it would be somehow advantageous to do it.

When I last watched television "news", I could see it was constant advertisements for drugs that they never explained were for "ask your doctor about Drug X", and also advertisements for companies the were involved with the MIC - GE, Boeing, etc. These are real advertisements, they are bribes.

News media won't go away, I agree. Entertainment will though if it doesn't make a profit. Even the lowest budget movie or show is minimum $50k/day during filming even with cheap actors.

The problem I have is by bitching about it publicly, all people do is draw attention to it. Maybe 1 in 10 people bite, like what is all this outrage about. Guess what, they're the freak and watch it habitually now because they heard people bitching about it. This is my opinion, but I personally think it's best to ignore this shit.

A vocal majority bitching about something a minority, loser, gay, outcast, etc. motivates them to keep watching shit. So they keep making shit. If the Bud Light thing bothers you don't drink it. Soooo many people are bitching about it publicly that don't even drink it. You're giving them free publicity. It's the same with Cleopatra.

I think there is more at work.

This shit is being sponsored by billionaires, it's not just woke twats doing it. When shows don't do this, they find ANY reason to cancel them, and they do. Tim Allen and Rosanne Bar are two examples.

Remember 40 years ago, and if there was nothing on television, people would just sit in front of the TV channel surfing until they got their fill of the swill? There are plenty of people who will still watch television even if "there's nothing good on".

We listen to radio all the time, home, work, and especially while we drive. We even listen to sports. Radio rules!

There will be radio as long as there is human beings. When the internet crashes, radio will still work. Most stations run on computers but many could be run manually in a pinch.

Why not watch the old stuff like "wagon train" or "tales of wells fargo"? Non woke, no joggers, hot women.
32   Ceffer   @   2024 Jun 17, 10:26pm  

And yet, no matter how many failures and massive bundles lost, somebody keeps pumping fiat dollars into this DEI Lesbo Hollyweird Witch shit.

Open ended liquidity and debt forgiveness (or used for tax write offs). Now, who could that possibly be?

Anyone know what it's next lowest performing one is?

And the black one is cross-eyed. It's like they're trying to insult the viewers.

Why do people even watch Netflix? This is the network that aired Cuties. Fuck them.


at this point it’s just immoral people. people whose morality is in worldly desires of flesh.

It's childless 30+ professional women seeking virtue signalling clout.

The good news is that Bezos tired of losing money and Amazon Streaming fired his Kathleen Kennedy, named Jennifer Salke.

Wow, imagine there are ZERO stories for the history of your race worthy of making a movie about. Ouch.

The show 'Black Mirror' has a new season that looks fully lesbianized and DEI a la Netflix. It is provenanced in Britain, and they are under the heel even more than we are. Too bad, production values and themes remain reasonably high.

The second episode is glossy, but fundamentally idiotic lesbian dramaturgy, fucking boring and disappointing as usual.

There are some cool African folk tales, but most of them have traditional male-female relationships and a hero arc or are just weird.

Like the little people of the Zulu myths, but if you remark upon their size they will stab you with a special tiny poisoned spear.
