"With Love, Meghan" on Netflix or "How to watch Netflix and feel like you need a lobotomy."

[madaboutharry]

Let me get this out of the way first. I like Meghan. I like Prince Harry. I read his book and found the story he told to be heartbreaking. I also found the way that Meghan was treated by the British public, The British media, and the Royal family to be racist and disgraceful. I have always thought Meghan and Harry to be sincere and charming and I am sure they are both very nice people.

HOWERVER.....

This show is awful. It is difficult to process how it ever got a green light. It simply is the most insipid half hour of nonsensical babbling I ever watched. I forced myself to watch the first episode to the end because I wanted to test my level of tolerance for meaninglessness. At least I wasn't thinking about how Donald Trump was destroying the country while I was watching Meghan make candles out of beeswax with her favorite makeup artist. Someone, btw, she has known for decades but didn't seem to know whether he liked tomatoes or that he was left handed.
You also get to see Meghan put strawberries on a cake.
She tells us at least 3 times that the house where we are watching Meghan at "home" is not her house, but rather a rental property down the road. Why you ask? She wanted to protect her privacy. O.K.

*The feeling that watching this show requires a lobotomy was borrowed from one of the scores of scathing reviews one can purview online.

**And BTW, for reasons unknown, Netflix has apparently renewed With Love, Meghan for season 2. 🧐
