I'm sorry, with love is meghan is awful

[Tricho]

I tried.

I really did.

But JFC it's absolutely awful.

"Come and watch me make the most basic of crafts while telling me how much you admire me, and I gently patronise you"

Really awful.

Man people are wild

This type of show is meant for people in a certain demographic who like pottering and pinterest and being poncetastic (as per the MN threads). I fall into that demographic. I have HGTV on constantly in the background and watch all the homes/gardens/lifestyle programmes.

I turned it off after 2/3 of an episode. It was reminiscent of when your teenager tries to teach you the most basic of things that you've been doing for decades like they've just invented it.

Ikr. Talking TV show opinions is so unusual

I wonder what the underlying problem with gavin abd stacey was

I watched Ep 1 because I was curious. Couldn't go further.
Leaving MM aside, are these type of shows popular in the hellscape that is 2025? I don't know anyone who has the time to make candles or bath salts. Baking, OK.
Is the audience just very rich trad wives? Puzzled.

Got a one star review 😬

What a goady, incitement to loathing inspired thread. Nasty.

I havnt watched it yet. Whenever I watch MM inspired content, I find it twee and boring, however MM reminds me a little of Amanda from Amandaland, so I might tune in at some point.

I enjoyed the 2 i watched too,i'm indifferent to her and it is quite shallow , i expected there to be lots of 'amazing' 'oh my gosh' 'i love you' etc as it was but i think this type of american programme is always like that.
I enjoyed it the same way as i would flicking through a home /interiors magazine, visually beautiful ,carefree ,a bit impractical but a nice break from work/domesticity for a few minutes.

Marina Hyde said something interesting on the latest Rest is Entertainment about Oscar speeches - how they are often so tedious because many actors are brilliant at making other people’s scripts come to life, but dreadful at being themselves.

I thought MM was a perfectly good, watchable actor, but it sounds like she cannot be herself in an entertaining way. I say though the Mindy Kaling snippet on the Netflix homepage and thought it looked utterly hideous - and if that was the best bit, chosen to draw viewers in, the rest must be unbearable.

Oh cool, you spent far too long making lady birds on toast. I could paint the cistern chapel in cheese but it would all still look the same smeared in a toddler’s hair. Some of us have less time to waste.

She has a really annoying manner of speaking, I’ve had to switch it off.

No, apparently they rented it for the show.

I guess it's soothing. It's like how I read long makeup guides while not actually wearimg makeup?

Forced. Attention seeking behaviour. No not MM, the OP 😂😂

Because that would end up being some sort of grim kardasian style childhood for the DC. As much as I dislike how fake/rude she comes across the one positive to her seems to be that she prioritises the DCs privacy.

She stated she enjoys the sacred time with her family at the end of each of her working days. What exactly is this sacred time?

But she doesn't WANT to be royal they are racist

Are man people a species just discovered, yet to be tamed?

All that matters is the streaming numbers. Alot of bad tv shows and movies do well financially. Emily in Paris for example is awful but I love it.

I’m probably in the demographic that should like it. I used to love River Cottage, and I’m a middle aged, middle class woman. But to me it’s a little try hard - I like presenters to be a bit more real and fallible, and to be able to put myself in their life. But I would never be friends with someone who ponced around with rainbow fruit and making everything perfect, it’s way too much.
I guess maybe Americans like that kind of thing though.

Ha, don’t think I’ve ever been called wild before, I’ll take it as a compliment 😁

True, but Jamie and Nigella can actually cook and are known/respected for being cooks.

I made it through half an episode. It was dull!

Nigella can't cook

I visualise a hippy sitting under a tree with a colourful handed knitted (by granny) poncho on, having a ‘smoke’. Yeah, man.

Wash your mouth out!

But she can make eating look so much fun.
