With Love, Meghan

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.

Meghan feels inauthentic and it's if as she has to think about everything she says and does and about how she is portrayed. The fact that they didn't shot at her real mansion says a lot already. It's basically just a filming set with actress Meghan. No matter what she does you can see her acting and wants to be liked so much by the public. Wouldn't recommend anyone watching this show. The fact that she gets millions of dollars and it's just a show where someone is acting to promote her business and a bad production makes this not worth your time! I want to see her family and not some random figures on a set.

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.

It's unfortunate that Meghan Markle's partnership with Netflix has produced such an abysmal, pretentious program under the guise of an eight-part lifestyle series. Much of the challenge comes from the contrived persona the producers are trying to formulate in presenting Meghan as a down-to-earth young wife and mother when we know she has been surrounded by royal entitlement and social privilege. That's why it's less than convincing to see her doling out culinary advice and helpful homemaking hints like a SoCal version of Fixer Upper's Joanna Gaines but on Ina Garten's inflated Hamptons-level budget, all without having the credentials of either. From the episodes I viewed, she entertains a predisposed guest, bowls the person over with her renaissance interests (beekeeping and candle-making in the first episode), culinary mastery, and disarming, one-of-us charm. It all comes across as disingenuous as if she's hawking a personal brand of her own invention.
