Queen Cleopatra True Story: 5 Things Netflix’s Controversial Show Leaves Out

Netflix’s ​​​​​​Queen Cleopatra has become somewhat controversial for its interpretation of historical events. Queen Cleopatra uses a combination of dramatized reenactments and interviews with experts to tell the story of Cleopatra’s life and rule. This docu-series seems to have trouble reconciling the realties of the world more than 2000 years ago with modern ideas of virtue, morality, and social structure that simply did not exist at this point in history.
