What the Hell Is This?
Satire is fine. Mocking the royal family is fine. But who decided it was was good idea to center this around children? Can you imagine being that age and finding out an actual television show has been created about you, much less to make you look like a shallow, pompous jackass, with other renditions of your family?
Had they centered it around the adults, left the kids out of it and handed it over to some writers who were talented and funny enough to make the jokes land without time sensitive cheap shots, this could have worked. As it is, you end up with an unfunny, boring and insulting attempt to take literal children down a peg. I feel bad for even giving it a shot with the three episodes I subjected myself to.
Skip this one, so hopefully it is canceled and falls into obscurity before those kids are old enough to stumble across it.
