Harry & Meghan

I was disappointed. The documentary felt more like a one-sided promotion of Harry and Meghan's image than a balanced exploration of their lives.

The documentary lacked any real insight into the couple's experiences, and instead relied heavily on anecdotal evidence and hearsay. There was little effort made to delve into the complex issues surrounding their departure from the royal family, and instead, the narrative seemed to be heavily influenced by Harry and Meghan's perspective.

Moreover, the documentary failed to provide any real depth or analysis, and instead felt more like a collection of talking heads offering their own opinions. The lack of diversity in the perspectives presented was particularly disappointing.

Overall, I would not recommend the Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary to anyone looking for an unbiased and thoughtful exploration of the couple's lives. Instead, it feels like little more than a shallow attempt to burnish their public image.

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.

I genuinely it difficult to believe when one goes on saying extremely nice things about oneself, with zero negatives. I also find it difficult to believe that their relationship is nothing but a fairytale romance with no downsides after 5 years of being together.

I understand they were affected badly by the negative media attention and wanted to call it quits and move away. But what are they doing now giving interviews, writing books, making documentaries, knowing full well that the royal family will not respond? Perhaps it's part of Harry's financial independence plan to cash in on the limelight of being a royal outcast?

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.

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...
