> Netflix has the custom to massively rewrite history

This is a longstanding Hollywood tradition, arguably it goes back to Shakespeare.

The problem is people have come to accept that fictional works can perfectly describe reality as it is or was. That has never been the case and never will be. One should not believe what one sees on tv, outside of news and documentaries (and even there, a lot of critical thinking should be applied).



It goes back at least to Gilgamesh.


So in the next season, Cleopatra will be a trasnswoman and the first person to travel to Mars while claiming 100% historical accuracy.
