Part 7/8:
Given the ratings and the rapid decline in viewers, it’s clear that Queen Cleopatra was a misfire for Netflix. The series’ initial promise of hitting high rankings was short-lived, and it appears unlikely to have any substantial second-run or cultural impact.

As the dust settles, it’s evident that Queen Cleopatra will be remembered not for its storytelling but as yet another example of a failed experiment in controversial content.
