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

[mumofoneAlonebutokay]

It's been panned but a lot of the press already hate her, hence my asking

Is it really that bad? I'm in my 30s and it doesn't seem aimed at my age group from the clips online.

There's one bad clip of her correcting mindy kaling on her name but I'm sure that's just been put out to make her look bad 😭

Worth a watch?

No interest in watching it, but to those who have, is it worth the $100m paycheck? Can't believe how much money Netflix has these days.

I'm not really bothered about her either way but saw a preview and it is absolutely dire.

Meghan tells her friend that she was a latchkey kid who ate loads of ready meals (TV dinners) and takeouts. Bet Doria will be thrilled to hear her say that!

I'd love a fly on the wall doc with Kate Middleton. Now there's a woman with a core of steel.

I’m pretty sure a fair chunk of that paid for the ‘Harry and Meghan’ documentary which did do fairly well.

If the Royal Family has any sense, they will be praying this show and the products are profitable. If the only thing H&M have to sell is stories about the RF and they end up needing money, things could get nasty.

From an intelligent woman, it’s inane & holds no interest for me. I got 10 minutes in & was bored to tears.

The thing is that Martha Stewart was an incredibly successful chef, party & event planner etc before she started publishing books and having tv programmes. Meghan does not have this background to build on, The Tig and what she was doing on it isn't comparable at all. There's only one Martha Stewart and she's still alive. No matter how hard Meghan tries, she will not surpass or even be equal to Stewart.

@nam3c4ang3 "and the seeds for the party bag? What happened to a silly whistle and a maom?! "

I put seeds in party bags 20 years ago! I must have been ahead of my time....

I’m not really into that type of show but I watched the first one earlier and it was nice enough. I’ll watch the rest.

Just watched. It’s dreadfully dull and goes on too long

I really have no real opinion of her but watching someone arrange some fruit on a board is absolutely not my idea of a good night in front of the tv

Oh, I know. But I’m pretty sure that’s what she’s aiming for anyway. Netflix seem to think she’s got a chance of being profitable since I think they are backing the products, too.

I watched out of curiosity. It was boring and very patronizing. So much of what she says is glaringly obvious. More appropriate for a children's program.

I watched the first episode. What struck me was how they both looked absolutely terrified! Meghan looked like she’d never gone near a cake before let alone baked one and the relationship between herself and friend didn’t come across as natural.

They seemed to relax more as the program went on and that pasta dish she made looked nice. I’ll probably watch the rest as it’s good escapism but the whole thing just felt forced. I’m not sure if all the bad press has done a number on her confidence….understandable if so.

I don't hate her and truly believe a lot of MSM hate stems from systemic racism.

However.. it looks like a fluff piece to rehabilitate her image as a homely wifely type. I'd never watch it but then real lives of or celeb watching aren't my thing either.

Oh give over with the racism nonsense.

I don’t hate MM, that would suggest I find her more interesting than she will ever be. If you asked ‘do I think Meghan Markle is a grifter’ - yes I do.

I think it was because she said "you keep referring to me as megan markle, but its sussex". Sussex isn't her name; her name would be Megan Windsor, Her title is Duchess of Sussex. I'm not a royalist and even i Know the difference.
I've only watched a few eps, i'm assuming she wants to rebrand as the new Martha Stewart and good for her, but not my kind of thing.

I normally like her but the show is a bit .... 'meh' ...?

It's a cooking/talk show nobody has asked for ... some people she knows really well, others have been invited ... I am not sure there is a clear defined reason for the show and for the first time I'm am struggling with her and I can't quite put my finger on why....

I've seen a few people say this and I feel this the closest I can get to my own answer and that is that it's just really removed from my reality and I feel like she's really clawing at looking normal... a few times she makes reference to her home... she's clearly not in her own space so it just doesnt feel as personal as she seems to want to appear.

She would be much better than Trump. I am actually starting to think men shouldn’t be allowed in politics. They’re crap at it.

It sounds like the kind of thing you’d have on in the background while working from home

Actually she’s right- just as William was William Wales at school, his kids were George Cambridge etc until the Queen died and then they became George Wales, and so on. They don’t all use Windsor as a surname, only the ones for whom
it’s actually their surname.

i wouldn't worry about it. No one will be talking about it tomorrow 😂

Well someone needs to tell Charles and William because they both use / used their titles as their children’s surnames and William used Wales (before he got the Cambridge title) as his surname when he was in the military.

Edited to say: Beatrice and Eugenie regularly used York as their surname before they were married, too.

Quite. Amazingly, Meghan knows her own name better than some random on the internet.

Adding title to first name is not unusual amongst people with titles, even if it isn’t technically a surname. Beatrice York or Sophie Wessex (as was) for example, so Meghan Sussex is fine. But she hasn’t used it in the 7 years that she’s been married and correcting a friend feels a bit contrived so it feel like a rebrand. Her book and podcast were ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’, and I’m sure people pointed out that was in the style of a divorce (she is The Duchess of Sussex) but she continued to use it.
