It is like a soap opera which is why it's so compelling - the whole saga is deliciously gossipy. But it's this point in a piece of fiction where you are yelling at the TV "don't do it, are you crazy" at whatever stupid thing the creator is getting one of the characters to do to create a bit of drama:
going into the dark scary basement after hearing a strange noise
ignoring all signs and going out alone with the serial killer
having a big pointless but relationship ending row out of nowhere just so that you can have the romantic race to the airport at the end of the movie
I'm assuming that Meghan and Harry don't have anyone advising them who has their best interests at heart because 'telling their truth' again over and over every six months is getting them nowhere but is making lots of money for everyone else - Oprah, Netflix, tabloids etc.
