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

I am a non-hater who spends almost no time thinking about the British Royal family.
I look forward to the show! I hope that it's bland and far removed from my life and mindlessly lovely, to watch something that's not the relentless negativity that is the world news right now. She is standing back in a white suit watching someone else harvest honey?

Honestly, that sounds exactly like the show I need in my life.

I don’t think anyone hates her, but if you only want opinions of people who liked the programme, then this will be a very short thread indeed.

I have no real interest in Meghan- certainly don't hate her. I might watch the show- probably just one episode to see what it's like- as I quite like a bit of cooking/interiors/general lifestyle-ish stuff. I can see it's been panned for being trite etc but what do people expect?- It's not trying to be Newsnight, it's a light escapist programme about poncing about making things pretty.

Reminds me of how exercised people got about Pippa Middleton's Celebration book- a book by someone professionally involved in party stuff about throwing parties, and yet some people seemed incredibly affronted by the fact it wasn't The Brothers Karamazov.

I'm not a hater. And I don't hate the show. But it's boring and I won't watch it. If i wanted home stuff, I'd join the WI.

How can you hate someone you've never met? Have never watched her show, but good for her aiming to be self supporting.
To have a royal family at all is ridiculous, I think. They're just people, like the rest of us (but loaded).

I don’t hate her, she really doesn’t affect my life one way or the other. I like the premise of the show so I will check it out, and report back!

I just watched an episode out of curiosity. I'm so sick of all the politics discussions lately and hatred towards them I was hoping for some light relief. the setting itself of the show is pretty but she was a bit too sickly sweet anded up getting bored and turned it off x

It was boring. I couldn’t get through the first episode.

It's adverts for products she's going to try to sell (pancake mix, shortbread mix, dried flowers) so definitely worth a watch if you like adverts.

From the clips I've seen, it's very much not my cup of tea but I'm sure there are plenty of people who will like it and watch it. Don't see why she's getting so much hate for it to be honest 🤷‍♀️

I think it looks very self indulgent and really not of the times...

I don't hate her. I don't know her. I am ambivalent to her.

It's not something I'd chose to watch regardless.

It's vacuous and not relatable. It gives the same vibes as a clique of popular girls from high school who love the fact other people watch them from afar and feel envious of their privileged lives and good looks. It's basically a weird parasocial tension where they pretend they don't care about attention but by definition, they can only be popular if there are people watching and admiring them.

The only different here is that us "normie" people genuinely do not care or admire the lives of people like Meghan. The show is shoving a specific aspirational ideal at everyone with a cast of insufferable people who are portrayed as better than everyone else because they live in LA, are skinny, rich etc.

This trope could have worked in the 90s or 2000s where everyone got their entertainment from TV so it was easier to control what was aspirational or not. However nowadays, there is so much choice on social media for this type of content. People who want this sort of entertainment can easily follow influencers where they get more personal and direct content.

I suspect it’s only people who have a strong opinion on her either way who would watch it. Neflix have openly said they expect it to be watched by people who don’t like her which makes me think they will have edited it to show her in a poor light.

The kids' surname is Mountbatten-Windsor or Prince Archie of Sussex.

It’s a lot of her looking down and mumbling to herself. Weird hosting style.

Weird people get so worked up about her/them. Ok let’s assume she is an out of touch/self absorbed/hypocritical rich person. Well that makes her no worse than many thousands of others.

I don't hate her. Have watched a couple of clips and don't see anything especially novel.

Reminds me of a show Anthea Turner doid called something like The Perfect Housewife

I've seen that episode and it didn't come across as anything other than an observation. I didnt hear any malice

No one has to watch, what I've seen was pretty bland , I'm sure we aren't meant to be taking it as an instruction manual

It's not exactly revolutionary cookery is it

I'm not a hater but she baffles me I question her life choices realise I don't care and turn the TV over

Totally on the minority on MN but I actually really felt for her on the documentary that she and Harry did on netflix
I'm on episode 3. It's nice. It's not groundbreaking. Nothing pops up saying "donuts" so much flour etc, it's like whatever she thinks.... it's cute and aesthetic.
Yes it's a bit much...like come on girl we don't have time for sorting our a fruit rainbow even on a sat morning I have football and gymnastics to ferry little people too but it's nice

i Think you need to change the title of your thread. You want people who like MM as they’re the ones who will have an opinion. The rest of us dont hate her as we don’t have an opinion either way and will likely not be watching.
