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:

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).

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.

Every historian worth their salt knows that Cleopatra was Greek/Macedonian, not sub-Saharan African. This wasn't some quasi-historical romance series; it billed itself as a serious docudrama.

Even then, I wouldn't care about who played the role as long as she played it well... but hacktivists like Pinkett Smith inject woke ideology into their work to push false political narratives.

The result is the worst TV show in history.

And that includes Friends!
