In what is undoubtedly a far better contribution to the historical record than the program itself, Netflix’s new four-part Cleopatra documentary miniseries has achieved the dubious honor of receiving what is quite likely the lowest audience approval ratings in TV history. “Queen Cleopatra” currently sits at a dismal 2% audience approval on the popular review… -
