If you're a non-meghan markle hater, what's your opinion on her show on netflix?

I'm home ill with a bad cold so I've had it on in the background. I have no strong feelings about Meghan but I had to turn it off after two episodes as it was just so bloody DULL. Even my lemsip-addled brain wanted something less vacuous.

But I'd recommend it if you don't know how to put carrots on a plate with some dip, because Meghan puts some carrots on a plate with some dip.

Which was fun.

Watched the first episode and found it very agreeable. Easy watching, and I like how they filled the cake. Given me some inspo for my next round of baking. Shall continue with pleasure.

It's prettily shot. I'm can say with utter honesty that if I have my friends a gift wrapped bag of dried fruit slices they would think I had gone round the bend.

I'm intrigued by the sparkling water in scrambled eggs. How much would one put in?

I just switched it on too. I agree, the setting is beautiful and I do want to know all about bee keeping. But I couldn't stand all the flattering shots of her and her synthetic, gushing comments.
I'm afraid I only watched one minute. It would probably have been fine without her in it.

Why would they be ambassadors for the Commonwealth? That would require them to be working Royals, which they are not.

I don’t have any strong feelings about her but I think it’s a shame she’s settled into something so twee and removed from most people’s reality. She had the option of using her platform to leverage the interest in her for much more than jam making and fruit rainbows. Seems a bit of a waste tbh.

But it's not made for the British market. It's primarily made for a US audience.

Re. your comment about modelling for brands like Dior and Chanel. They or any fashion house won't touch her, she's too toxic. The interview she did with Oprah coupled with Harry's book plus the bullying allegations mean it's highly unlikely she's get any kind of brand ambassador work. Meghan has demonstrated time and time again that's she's neither loyal nor truthful, and willing to throw those who have tried to help her totally under the bus. Why would anyone employ a woman who bitches, complains and alienates not just her colleagues, but who pay her wages?

Exactly, she hasn’t killed anyone or as far as I know abused anyone. I’m sure her children are happy and so is her husband unless anyone can prove otherwise

A couple of years ago, they were saying she might run for president. Now she’s making cakes on the telly. Seems like a comedown

(She’d be better than Trump)

I don't like her or dislike her, but I do wonder why her projects keep failing, or why she feels the need to go on faux-royal tours like the trip to Columbia or show up and give a speech at the Inivtcus Games - the world is not clamouring for her presence in public life, and she does want to do that kind of thing she would have been better doing it as an established part of the royal family.

I know her and Harry had their reasons for leaving but their only USP was their royal connection which they no longer have, so they really are just two random rich people with nothing particular to offer the world, they could just do charitable works behind the scenes if they need a sense of purpose.

The clips I have seen of the latest show look quite vapid but fairly inoffensive, but there are plenty of this type of lifestyle show so I'm not sure what this will add to the genre.

Watching now, surprised to find myself enjoying it! I’m not a cook, I don’t enjoy it but am finding all the flavours, syrupy textures and colours quite inspiring. Not realistic but beautifully filmed.

Same.

I’m disappointed with Netflix, they’ve whacked the subscription price up again and have spent £££s on cheap filler TV with MM. I want decent drama for my money. The best stuff on Netflix is older (stuff like Dexter and Lost). I don’t watch lifestyle, cookery type shows and they are 10 a penny on free TV if anyone is interested in them because they are so cheap to make.

Another here who can’t really understand why she appears to be trying to force herself into such a twee hole. She’s intelligent, she could do something with real weight behind it relatively easily.

I’m a non-hater. Doesn’t mean I like her. Why is it always assumed generally that if you don’t like someone/ approve of someone, you’re a hater? You could just be indifferent.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt today. I made it through about 5 minutes until she started with the bath salt. Then she lost me.

I would love to see useful content that I can incorporate into my life. This I can’t. There are YouTube channels out there that have more enticing content.

I can never quite get past the fact that she had a chance to be a significant power for change with real influence and the scope and ability to make a real difference to people who desperately need it but instead she’s chosen to just be another cookie cutter celeb with a jam jar in her hand

It’s just more insipid vapid twaffle inoffensive and unoriginal.

I really like her and I’m enjoying it - it’s relaxing, aspirational lifestyle tv, a bit like Kirsty Allsop’s homemade Christmas thing as a pp said.

I don’t hate her, I’m just puzzled by her decisions.

She seems very intelligent and politically minded so why is she dumbing down with the jam making and cut up fruit? It just seems like she’s playing a role, I wish she would just be herself, wasn’t that the whole point of leaving the Royal family? Surely she could have hosted tea parties and arranged flowers to her heart’s content at Frogmore. Maybe I’m missing the point.

This format has been done to death, nothing new here. Is this really the best that Netflix and all their highly paid execs could come up with?

Watched a bit today out of curiosity, seemed a bit boring. Might try another day when I'm less tired.

Me and DD err on the side of harry and Meghan fans, definitely not haters, but DD has just now messaged me saying it's utter cringe and needs to be watched for all the wrong reasons 🤣

I find it odd because she hangs so much of her persona on the hook of Female Empowerment?And all that fanfare about how when she was 12 she wrote to Proctor & Gamble to complain how they only showed women washing up with Fairy Liquid?

Yet, here she is suddenly reinventing herself as a Stepford Wife? Faffing with cut flowers in the kitchen and prepping jam jars?

I'm not going to watch it. I don't mind her.

I am absolutely fascinated by how the daily mail is obsessed with her. There are 52 articles about her or her show today alone?!

Same! Sounds boring
