As ever season two: fluffy eggs (with sparkling water) on faces!

[TallerSally]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Despite the ‘almighty’ British media, the rightwing US media and the internet brigade attempting to outdo each other with their crushing, supposedly annihilating reviews of Meghan’s As ever show, not only has it spent the past days in Netflix’s top 10 in more than 40 countries (including being Nr 5 in the Meg-lovin’ UK), Netflix have renewed the show for a 2nd season!

And of course, Netflix are also actively supporting the launch and commercialisation of Meghan’s As ever product range.

So, some folks have plenty of (hopefully fluffy - add sparkling water!) egg on their faces right now, and none of them are Meghan. She’s delivered the perfect put-down to her detractors with her “Lettuce romaine calm” pun, playfully announcing her Season 2 on her Instagram…. and adding a bum wiggle which to me said “we’ve obviously known for months that there’ll be a season 2, but y’all didn’t, so we’ve let you play with your silly headlines and review-bombing about this being ‘the end of the road’ and we ‘should kiss goodbye to Netflix’ BS, before making you all look like the obsessive fools you are by announcing season 2. Back-off and just chill, folks!”

Too funny! So far in this little PR war, it’s Meghan 2, detractors 0. Basically, the general public don’t GAF about the screeching online: if the show’s a good watch they’ll watch it, and they evidently are… kinda like… a certain biography, that other Sussex review-bombed ‘abject failure’ that still went on to become a Nr1 bestseller in the UK and US…

So, where did the gormless twopenny British journalists and their equally misguided US counterparts go wrong (again)? They were so eager to wield the knife into Meghan (a soooo much easier and risk-free target than Elon Musk, Donald Trump or even Andrew Tate, whom they’re evidently too chicken sh*t to go after with a tenth of the vitriol they enjoy hurling at Meghan), that they forgot to read the not so small print.

That small print includes the words “Netflix” and “Sony Pictures Television”, producers of As ever.

Now, who wields more power and influence over US viewers and consumers, Marina Hyde and her fellow sour-grapes, or Netflix and Sony Pictures combined (not to mention People magazine, Drew Barrymore, etc)?

Hmm… tough one.

So next time spineless journos want to pile-in on a mixed heritage woman for the heinous crime of launching a feel-good lifestyle business, maybe they could read the small print about who’s backing her and turn their Trump and Musk a*s-licking tongues in their mouths a few times before spouting off, lest they end up being the ones looking utterly ridiculous?

If you feel the British and right wing media have been spineless in their continued attacks on Meghan Sussex, discuss!

Meanwhile I need to find me one of ‘em ‘Lettuce romaine calm” baseball caps. Etsy sellers, get to work!

Season 2 was filmed at the same time as season 1
It was always going to be shown as it would make no financial sense not to.

it is already out of the top 10 which is a swift exit

I have no idea what Trump or Musk has to do with her show if you could please explain

"and of course, Netflix are also actively supporting the launch and commercialisation of Meghan’s As ever product range"

The show is a format of basically a commercial with ties to the products which of course netflix are supporting as they have a huge financial interest

It's not season 2 it's the second half of the episodes they filmed for the first season. Your rant is essentially pointless if you can't understand this simple and very relevant piece of information.

Goodness! You are very invested in this OP, maybe a little over invested?

As others have pointed out, 'series 2' was filmed at the same time as series 1, and was always going to be shown whatever the reaction to series 1.

A little too much in love with Meghan perhaps?

Exactly this!

I wouldn't say that showing the secornd part that has already been filmed is an indication of what an amazing success the show has been.

Given the amount of negative reviews the show has received, I still wouldnt call this a win for Meghan.

I assume that the website will be live by the time that season 1 part 2 launches.

Hopefully As Ever is going to sell the Letuce Romaine Caps @TallerSally. It looked like it was Meghan’s pretty cursive writing.

If I’m reading the charts correctly - on Netflix With Love Meghan ls ranking 9th out of 10 in the world in shows on March 7. I’ve linked to it - It’s the second chart. Scroll down a little. First chart is Top 10 movies snd second chart is Top 10 shows

In the US it’s ranking 7. So performing well in its biggest market.

Ay any rate, I think it’s going to perform well enough for Netflix to consider it good value. I’ve mentioned elsewhere on here that the CEO of Netflix was confident that love Meghan or hate her, people will still watch her.

I admire Meghan’s resilience, I must say. To be subjected to the furore, fury and frenzy that she has experienced and come out smiling and determined not to be silenced, not to go off and be quiet somewhere, takes a strength I doubt I would have.

Ranking

Blimey OP, I think you are overly invested!

Given the amount of negative reviews from the liberal press, this is not a win for Meghan. Either side of the Atlantic. And if the reader comments - comments from their professional, liberal readership - are anything to go by, then she's not going to be shifting many boxes of overpriced pancake mix. As for the industry, she's been pancake panned by both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter (again).

Defining winning by notoriety and derision - no matter if fame and large sums of money is involved - is sad, shallow and cynical. If the somewhat overwrought and crowing style of this OP, and this whole "tricked you with a second series" guff is reflective of the mood of MM herself, then she's hardly adhering to her own philosophy of kindness, friendship and laid back good vibes. She's effectively sticking two fingers up at Netflix subscribers. Many of whom are pissed off that their favourite shows are dropped on cliffhangers, and that they get no value for money from subscribing, especially with the introduction of adverts. I am afraid this OP portrays, not a woman succeeding or endearing, but a spiteful and vengeful person hell bent on oneupmanship at all costs. That's not Californian cool now, is it?

I watched the first episode out of curiosity and it was utterly turgid. Had to fast forward through a lot of it. DIRE.

Cue for a hat with " Honeymoon sandwich" embroidered on it - let us alone 😂😂😂😂

This OP is either hilarious or desperately embarrassing, not sure which 😬🤪

Having to delay half of your first series because you haven't managed to get the products it's advertising ready on time is hardly the greatest win in the history of either entertainment or business.

People are watching it in order to rip the piss out of it though, surely?

And yeah of course they'll show season two as it has already been filmed.

The thing I don't get is the fact she's selling pancake batter mix?! The only dry ingredient in pancakes is flour? Is it for people who don't usually have milk in the house? It has three ingredients not including water!

Jam and stuff I can kind of get if she's claiming it's from her own plants etc. But batter mix? It just seems really down-market.

The show is a prolonged advertisement for the tat she's going to be flogging. I don't get the triumphalism.

I fail to see how anyone has egg on their faces.
Season One was terrible, in my opinion (and, it would seem, in many others') and Season Two is already in the bag and filmed, so to show it isn't the feather in the cap that some seem to think, however Meghan wants to portray it.
But hey, I will carry on with my (happy) life. I do wonder why Meghan feels the need to ram it down everyone's throats how much in love she and Harry are though.

Meghan’s now responsible for hurting Netflix subscribers? Too silly for words.

Welcome back @TallerSally - I felt we were a big short of Superfans recently.

Meghan may be an absolute Winner at life: wealthy Montecito living, fame, a Prince, a tv show BUT the bottom line is With Love, Meghan is really, really, really boring. It’s dull, feels long and is quite antiseptic. I must admit I watched it in the hope of comedy moments, but it was just faintly depressing.

Mildly amused that the messaging around this show and product line is so confused that even such a pro Meghan OP as this one can't get it right 🤦‍♀️

I chortled when I saw the Instagram post because I knew 😉

Knew what?

But back to the show - I realise what a basic person I am - because I was watching and I realised that I indeed am the one who has bought a baloon machine for a balloon arch for my little one's 3 year old birthday back in the day and have been one to make a little welcome basket for a guest room 😂. But the one thing I will say is just how cozy and calming it all has been and I have absolutley loved the music. Glad we have 8 more epsiodes - hopefully she'll film a holiday special this summer.

It's a strange type of vehicle for her because she's obviously not a good cook,and she's not particularly likable or engaging. It's difficult to know what she could do, really. Perhaps go on one of those Real Housewives shows? I think that's her level.
OP, I don't want to get personal, but it sounds like you're very angry about all this, it's really not worth it.

It's really very full on, isn't it?

Knew what?
