(Not The Bee) Jada Pinkett Smith’s new Netflix show paints the famed and historic figure Cleopatra as a black girl boss. As a reward, she now has the worst-rated TV show of all time, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
As of Monday morning, the show has an 11% score from critics and a 2% positive score from regular viewers.
From one shocked observer at Forbes:
The show was controversial even before it was released. Jada Pinkett Smith hired a black actress to play Cleopatra and it wasn’t conservatives who cared, but actual Egyptians, including the Egyptian government.
One actually sued Netflix over the casting.
