The scene of the end and Cleopatra's suicide was one of the unjustifiable calamities. With the words of academic guests in the series, Cleopatra's suicide was between a poisonous snake bite or poison she took or put in her body, in addition to the possibility of her killing at the hands of Octavius. The clips placed on this talk were of Cleopatra eating a date and then dying. A scene inconsistent with the words of the speakers who never mentioned dates. There is no explanation why the producers and director chose to portray Cleopatra devouring a date grain as poison. They did not even torture their imagination, for example, by filming a shot of a date grain dipped in poison before eating it, if this was their intent, at least we were dramatically convinced, although the academics' words are elsewhere entirely. Poor writing and weaker execution of the dramatic scenes in a series whose aim is to promote and impose an idea, not to present a historical figure, except for emotional scenes and dialogues that are more suitable for a tenth-grade movie than in a "documentary" work. The academic guests were the best of the bunch, but it is clear that they did not delve into the basic issue of color as they delved into other issues and expanded, perhaps to support the required promotion, and this is something that may affect their credibility, because the color issue raised is not a transient issue.

Boring and not catchy
dhrxfdmm12 May 2023
I watched episode 1 and it wasn't catchy and was a bit boring, I checked the historical facts and found some gaps when compared with what was narrated on the series.
The actress wasn't good enough or convening for me, I felt that she is not fit for the role as well as how they started the story, lots of missing details and lots of uncertain facts, I think I'm such cases this shouldn't be a documentary but a science fiction series so it can be accepted, even when the lady was narrating, I felt she is not feeling what she is saying although she was trying to give the certain feeling but I didn't get attached to the series.

The Death of Cleopatra
Cleopatra VII Philopator, the last active pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, died on August 12, 30 BC. She was 39 years old.
Cleopatra's death was a tragic one. She had been defeated by Octavian, the adopted son of Julius Caesar, in a civil war. Rather than be captured by Octavian, Cleopatra chose to commit suicide.
There are several different accounts of how Cleopatra died. The most common account is that she allowed an asp (Egyptian cobra) to bite her. Other accounts say that she poisoned herself or that she was killed by Octavian's men.
Whatever the cause of her death, Cleopatra's suicide was a powerful act of defiance. She refused to be defeated by Octavian, and she chose to die on her own terms.
Cleopatra's death marked the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the beginning of Roman rule in Egypt. However, her legacy has lived on for centuries. She is remembered as one of the most beautiful and powerful women in history. She is also remembered as a tragic figure who chose to die rather than be defeated.
