All the Netflix With Love Meghan reviews- from 'exhausting' to 'queasy'
Meghan Markle's new Netflix series has been blasted by critics upon its premiere
Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has finally arrived on the platform, but it hasn't received the reception the Sussex's may have been expecting.
The docuseries sees the 43-year-old share her "personal tips and tricks", while "embracing playfulness over perfection" and "highlighting how to create beauty in unexpected ways".

Official reviews have been pouring in throughout the morning as critics across the globe binge the show and formulate opinions.

The Daily Mail savagely wrote: "It is so awful it is almost compelling and sources within Netflix hope it will prove irresistible to a 'hate-watch' audience of those who don't like Meghan."

While Marina Hyde from The Guardian penned: "The mildest way to describe this show is as a ghastly artefact of a particular cultural era that recently met its apocalypse."
"One of the oddest things about With Love, Meghan is that parts of it are a cooking show â think Gwyneth Paltrow does Saturday Kitchen â but she doesnât appear to be very good at cooking, or particularly to enjoy it," the Daily Telegraph noted.
The Independent added: "The heady blend of aesthetic curation, inspiring truisms and those inescapable edible flowers might well leave you feeling a bit queasy."

However, there were some islands of praise amid the ocean of criticism, as the Standard gave the Netflix show a mostly positive review.
"So, will this series fly? For laughs perhaps. But if youâre the kind of person who wants to be shown how to make a daisy chain or who gets a thrill from seeing the home life of our Duchess as she wants us to see it, or who wants tips on making pasta the way no Italian ever did (sitting on veg, in a frying pan cooked with water from a kettle), why itâll be just your cup of tea," the Standard wrote.
There is a lot riding on the success of this series for the Sussex's as it is only the second project they have made with Netflix since signing a multi-million-pound deal in 2020.

It will be hard to judge how well the series does for Netflix, as they rarely release ratings for their content.
However, it is worth noting that Meghan's 'As Ever' brand products will be present in Netflix's brick-and-mortar stores set to open later this year, so judgement can be decided by sales.
