You know things are bad when even Reddit is calling it ridiculous. Netflix made the mistake of going full Hotep, never go full Hotep

Could have been an interesting story about foreign rulers of a conquered land, and the interaction with the native Egyptian peoples. But they can’t see beyond skin colour. And it’s not like there’s a shortage of sub-Saharan African kingdoms, I believe South Africa is currently filming an epic Shaka mini-series.

Also, I’m not sure why the African-Americans are so keen to claim the Ptolemaic rulers as their own, they were brotherfuckers and sisterfuckers and were fairly mad and eventually lost Egypt to the Romans. Hardly the leading lights of Egyptian history.

Cleopatra. It’s the only Pharoah most people know.
