Her glorious rule of 21 years, which lasted from 51 BC to 30 BC, ended with her tragic suicide. Despite the story it embraces, the series was among the lowest rated ever whether on Netflix, IMDb (1.1) points, and Rotten Tomatoes 19%. The racial depiction and misinterpretation of history were some of the reasons for such a low score.

(Sex/Life)

It’s the story of suburban mother of two children, Shahi. Her stable marriage starts to crumble when she decides to dive back in her memory and begins to journal her fantasy-driven past with her ex-husband, Demons. The critics see that the obsessive erotic drama with sex in addition to steamy interludes and melodramatic writing, all contributed to suffocate the proactive ideas in the show.

The problem with The Idol that it rose so many expectations but turns to be one of the worst ever. The reviews were negative about its visualization and dialogue, it’s characterized by shock-and-awe visuals, grotesque sex, blatant sexism and oddly melodramatic performances that lowered its rate on IMDb to 4.9.
