With Love, Meghan

You know how you can't help but look at a car crash as you pass? You don't really want to see it, but you just can't help yourself? Well here, Meghan creates the same effect, but right there on your TV screen. You peer at it through your fingers over your face, while your toes independently curl, while Markle - sorry, Sussex - she makes that very clear to some poor sould dragged on as a guest, gurns away at the camera giving us all sorts of helpful advice from how to make ice cubes to repackaging snacks for overnight guests. Probably a better title might have been With thanks for all the cash Netflix, Meghan. Or more aptly, With sincere apologies, Meghan. But as is pretty clear, sincerity isn't exactly her strong point.

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.

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.

I gave it a chance, and to be fair it's fine for some noise in the background - but overall I found it very pretentious. Showing off this life where you have time to put edible flowers on everything you make?

Still not sure what tips and tricks I was supposed to learn, cause I didn't learn anything

Fresh flowers are so expensive, so to be flaunting that in our faces to make flower presentations for visitors I felt a bit inconsiderate

Chopping fruit and veg and arranging them on a board is hardly cooking, and who has a garden with all these fresh herbs and vegetables etc

Sorry, not for me, not sure what she was trying to put across, but as I said, the word that springs to mind is pretentious!

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.
