Season 2 of Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle Netflix show flops after being introspected by British critics.
The second episode of “Love, Love, Meghan,” which was dropped on August 26, did not create a top 10 list of streamers from August 25th to August 31st, Forbes reported on Friday.
While Netflix has not released weekly display data for the 10 most popular shows, Forbes noted that Markle’s show had to have more viewed 500,000 viewers than the first season of the first week.
According to the outlet, 2.6 million people watched “With Love, Meghan” season 1 when they debuted in March 2024.
The decline in popularity follows a wave of criticism of Markle’s series from across the pond.
After the premiere, Guardian Lucy Mangan denounces the program as “very boring,” “very painful,” and “very effortless and whimsical,” and “it becomes almost appealing.”
Mangan also claimed that guest Chrissy Teigen is the “high point” of the show, and that the other celebrities who made the cameo with her were “not paid well.”
The Times issued an equally poignant take on the rebel show, dubbing the host “woman in need of cash.”
Hilary Rose told the outlet that the “Buffle” series will occupy “a sweet spot that the unrelated can’t stand,” and “go back and forth in a dark room.”
Meanwhile, Anita Singh, labelled “Love, Love, Meghan,” is labelled “Tone deaf,” as “episodes on cocktail production in Malibu are dedicated to the first responders and victims of a California wildfire.”
Thin called “Montecito Marie Antoinette” a “poor” host, but she emphasizes Markle’s “drop (ping) perfection of her type,” and looks “relatively normal” in “self-deprecating” and “likeable” moments.
The 44-year-old former actress responded to her hatred in an interview with Emily Chang, saying, “I knew who I was going to meet. If you know your audience, if you know your demographics, they loved the show. My partner loved the show.
She said, “Are they saying negative things, then going home and secretly making a single frying spaghetti?
“Love, Meghan” was part of a $100 million Netflix deal that landed in 2020 after Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, resigned from royal duties and moved to California.
Page 6 last month reported that the couple had recently expanded their partnership with streamers, but because it was “less” amount, it was “no risk for Netflix” while preserving both “reputation”.
