Americans are getting pickier about what they stream these days. With subscription prices climbing and wallets tightening, viewers want real value for their entertainment dollars. Gone are the days when any celebrity could slap their name on a project and expect instant success.
The streaming wars have platforms scrambling for content that connects. But there’s a growing divide between what Hollywood elites think people want and what everyday Americans actually enjoy. Nothing demonstrates this gap more clearly than when woke celebrities with zero expertise try lecturing the rest of us about lifestyle choices.
Royal Rejection: Netflix’s Latest Celebrity Disaster
Netflix’s newest offering, “With Love, Meghan,” featuring Meghan Markle, has crashed and burned upon arrival. The lifestyle series, which debuted Tuesday, immediately faced a tsunami of mockery from viewers who couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
From ‘Breitbart’:
“This is literally the most basic, uninspired content I’ve ever seen,” one X user reacted. “My local grocery store makes better fruit rainbows. It’s not creative, it’s not original, it’s boring and even worse is her insufferable banter. This show is going to suck.”
Viewers didn’t hold back their astonishment at the show’s elementary content. Social media exploded with comments questioning how such basic material made it through production.
One user begged others: “Please, do not be tempted to hate watch or look at this train wreck.”They added: “Let’s send a strong message to Netflix that this is not the content the public wants to see.” Another bluntly stated: “If you watch the Meghan Markle show on Netflix, we can’t be friends.” Ouch.
“Groundbreaking” Content That Left Viewers Speechless
What exactly is Markle teaching that has everyone so unimpressed? Apparently, the woke duchess is demonstrating revolutionary techniques like… arranging fruit in a row on a plate.
One viewer sarcastically marveled: “Meghan Markle is… wait for it… showing us how to put fruit in a row on a plate.”
They continued: “But there’s more! You can even do a single row of fruit for your kids’ breakfast! This is ground breaking stuff people! Nobody has ever put fruit in a line on a plate! Domestic goddess!”
Others pointed out that her “recipes” could easily be found on Pinterest – from 2015. Not exactly cutting-edge content from someone supposedly worth millions to Netflix.
The show reportedly features moments of “next level derangement and narcissism,” including a scene where “Meghan Markle wrote herself a note and got the kids and Harry to sign it.” Because nothing says family bonding like forced endorsements of mom’s self-congratulatory notes.
Even Liberal Media Couldn’t Pretend to Like It
Perhaps most telling is how traditional media outlets responded. Even publications that typically give the Sussexes favorable coverage couldn’t stomach this one.
The Independent called the show “queasy and exhausting,” while The Telegraph described it as “an exercise in narcissism, filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals and business plugs.”
Most damning was The Guardian’s assessment, which warned: “Kiss the Netflix deal goodbye! With Love, Meghan is so pointless it might be the Sussexes’ last TV show.”
When both conservative and liberal publications agree something is terrible, you know you’ve achieved a rare moment of national unity. Just not the kind Markle was hoping for.
Key Takeaways:
- Americans across the political spectrum are rejecting celebrity lifestyle content that offers nothing of substance.
- Netflix may be reconsidering their multi-million dollar deal with the Sussexes after this spectacular flop.
- The disconnect between elite celebrities and everyday Americans continues to grow as viewers demand authentic, valuable content.
