Harry & Meghan

I found the series contrived and one sided. I do not feel sorry for two ADULTS who had very cushy upbringings. Death and Divorce occurs and most the ADULTS I know have gone on to lead exemplary lives without self promoting by crapping on family members. The paparazzi sux and shame on anyone who reads trash. Harry and Meghan's version of events is just as tabloid like, misleading and fantastical. No pity for either one and completely no respect for them either. The two are grifters wallowing in their own self pity while sitting in a mansion. We will never get the other side but by fact checking what comes out the Windsor's mouths has proven to be a lot of falsehoods and so whats?

Well, I think it's all been said about these two....... The carefully planned and orchestrated "private" moments... the jealousy and envy they show toward William and Kate, while claiming not to want that life....the claims of serious misconduct by other royal Family member while showing absolutely no proof.... It's all been said, and in a much more articulate manner than I ever could...

What I can't understand is why they didn't have their PR team do a better job of evening out these scores. If what they say is true, they would know that this series would be panned. It's really curious to me that there are so few positive scores.

To me, they just come off as selfish, entitled, and angry. Not really what you expect from royalty. I expect much more dignity from the royal family than insulting fake curtsies from a couch.

I started off with no particular thoughts/feelings towards this couple.

If they didn't want the 'Royal' lifestyle and the media attention that went with it, then fine.

I felt best of luck, they have every right to choose to 'step out' of the limelight.

Except this isn't stepping out of the limelight. This is the exact opposite.

It is difficult to feel sympathy for a couple who are clearly incredibly wealthy and priviledged.

Yet this 'series' is obviously designed to make ordinary folk, who are struggling with the current economic crisis, feel sympathy (which I felt was incredibly crass)

In this respect, it has failed and failed disasterously.

They don't put up any factual or substantiated accusations .

Despite all the heavy mood setting music, black and white pictures and attempt to bring in Diana. It was obviously a professional PR presentation.

It is clearly not an unbiased documentary.

This series is their own specific viewpoint as victims.

Harry comes across as a weak willed puppy dutifully following 'Queen' Meghans commands.

My final impression was one of two whinging wealthy spoilt brats wailing 'woe is me' from their priviledged self rightous bubble.

I was left feeling a mild contempt.

This was sort of as expected. I wanted to feel sympathy for Meghan at times, a couple episodes in, but this documentary was so very obviously planned as a fallback, with all the emotional vlogs over a number of years, that by the end I was over the drama. The victim/race card is hashed and rehashed, but what if it's actually not race and its actually just personality? We're not actually allowed to ever say that thoogh. Meghan comes across as someone who thought she could change an old institution, but when she couldn't change centuries of tradition, she decided to destroy and monetize it. I realize I'm not allowed to say this, but the modern monarchy doesn't come across as racist and I believe the initially welcomed Meghan, which means there is either a massive conspiracy, as they suggest, or maybe she was tough to deal with for other reasons. Based on how this was contrived I'm inclined to believe the later. Of course no one is perfect and I'm sure there are individuals here and there in the institution with racist views. Harry seems genuine and Meghan is definitely an actress, with a well timed pause and tear.

The rich, money grabbing victim card just doesn't work for me.

Boring, boring, boring, and painfully self-serving - definitely not the "documentary" I expected from the marketing hype. And I thought these two left the UK in part to protect their family's privacy - in which case, I'm very confused about why they keep trying to inject themselves into the limelight.

In the end, I'm left thinking "why should I care about these two?" After enduring the boring first 3 episodes, I really don't.

As an American who was originally sympathetic to H&M's situation, I believe I'm Netfix's target audience for this series. But if this is the best they can do, I think Netflix really wasted their money. I won't be watching anymore...
