Con amor, Meghan

I'd this show had been made back in the 1980's I could forgive it, the days of dinner parts, vol au vents and folded table napkins, but in 2025, it just totally misses the mark.

It's a lifeless, boring series, Meghan adds nothing, there's no sparkle, it's all so lifeless, so superficial, everything is obviously done just for the cameras.

I'm not sure who the target audience is for this, I've asked so many people, and they've all avoided it like the plague.

When you think of all the themes she could have gone with, I found this such a bizarre choice, I just don't get it. There's nothing new to learn here.

I just don't feel that she's in touch with reality, look at the clothes she's in a kitchen that most people can only dream of, is the purpose to offer money saving tips?

The project is Ill judged and poorly timed, honestly this was appalling.

1/10.

In spite of good production value and camera work, It's too pretentious and too blah. There are barely any recipes. Some tips or ideas are so basic that I learnt in elementary school in India in SUPW class. No tip is revolutionary.

Though out, it seems like Heroine is acting instead of being natural and that the show is scripted. And the problem is her acting is particularly bad and script is boring. You can tell guests are fed lines to say and are basically leading to her praises

Now the main problem is the heroine of the show comes across condescending, passive aggressive and cold to most people. There were quite a few opportunities of humor but she missed taking advantage of those as seems like she lacks in natural sense of humor and has no idea of self-deprecation.

So overall it was very boring. Honestly I should have instead watched some cat videos with my kitten and pup. Comes across as a dishonest attempt.

I really did want to like this. I love cooking shows and getting ideas. And while there are some recipes here that are interesting and some interesting ideas, it doesn't feel real. I know others have said this, but it's the truth. It all feels so staged. But not staged for the cooking, staged to make Meghan look like an amazing kind person. I can tell you that I watched several episodes and I kept falling asleep on it lol if you're a huge fan of hers, it's light entertainment. If you're not a fan of hers? You won't enjoy it at all. If you're on the fence, it's mindless, won't hurt you to watch it, won't hurt you to miss it.

I gave this 2 stars and this is primarily for the stylist who has made things look pretty. Other than that this is the biggest waste of time. I can't work out what it's all about? Meghan is not a chef and the recipes are very basic and obvious- she taught me nothing I don't already know- we all know how to make Jam! . She clearly has no idea about Bees and looked terrified when one came near and even had a 'bee man' ( who has a bee man!!?!?!). The whole things was incredibly contrived and fake with constant faux laughing. It just feels very try hard and embarrassing and she doesn't even seem comfortable. The whole 'don't you know I'm a Sussex' was very snotty and bizarre given her determination to slag off all things Royal- yet you must refer to her as the Duchess of Sussex? It just felt uncomfortable and inauthentic and like a very long advertorial for a random collection of very basic things you can buy in any grocer.

Personally, I've always been on the fence with Megan as a British person. This series I think is getting an unfair amount of hate, however.... Megan has chosen to do a lifestyle/ cooking/ wellness show but doesn't seem to be familiar with the practices herself, so why is she making this show?

My issues with just episode one: A year into bee keeping she can't do it alone, or even harvest honey alone (also the way it was done was not sustainable). She then proceeds to make candles for the first time, and then later on mention how she not a fan baking but will do it for someone she cares for. She explains basic skills like they're revolutionary and unfortunately it makes her seem very out of touch.

What I don't understand is for someone who has publicly received so much hate, I find it mental that herself and her team would allow her to show the public how to do skills like bee keeping, candle making and baking when she's not even familiar with the skills herself. You're asking for it when you allow a celebrity with bad publicity/ reputation, try and show the public how to do basic skills.

I would love this show if she had the skills and knowlage! It just seems so out of touch unfortunately and I'm perplexed her team didn't see this coming.
