I feel you-- like, it's not historically accurate... but a lot of things aren't historically accurate? I don't see how it's super different from Bridgerton casting a black queen, as a casting decision. And I wish they had just said it was colorblind casting and sidestepped the whole argument of 'well she was REALLY Greek', but of course that wouldn't stop racists from complaining...

It's different because only one of those things is a revisionist pseudo historical theory that actually exists

Bridgerton flat-out said it was a reimagining of the era it depicted, though. It wasn't trying to be historically accurate and didn't claim to be.

Bridgerton didn't say it was a documentary.

Man, Bridgerton isn't documentary, it's a fantasy show. This one calls itself documentary and has uncomfortable history of revisionism. Also they seem to twist not only race but a lot of Cleopatra's history to fit narrative. Egyptians are right to be mad.

AND I think that a lot of critics are racist shit still.
