Part 6/8:
A Pattern of Failures Continues
This pattern of quick burnout echoes Netflix's history with poorly received productions. The series Blood Origin, which was lauded in its first day but dropped sharply afterward, is a prior example. Queen Cleopatra surpasses even that, with critics and audiences swiftly dismissing it as a failure.
The lack of longevity suggests that Netflix’s gamble on a controversial, historically questionable series did not pay off. Subscribers and viewers seem increasingly wary of content that sacrifices quality and accuracy for provocative themes.
