It seems like Meghan Markle’s cooking show might already be burnt to a crisp before it even hit the oven. Scheduled for release on January 15th, the show promised an extravagant blend of picturesque shots of Montecito and Meghan’s self-proclaimed culinary genius. But when the trailer dropped, instead of applause, Meghan got roasted. Social media exploded with viewers calling the series entitled, tone-deaf, and, frankly, a snoozefest.
Let’s talk about the internet’s brutal honesty. One user on X declared, “Uh, no thanks.” Another slammed it as “terrible,” while one person bluntly stated, “Rather watch paint dry.” Ouch. Imagine putting your heart into crafting a show only to have people compare it to the excitement of staring at a wall. That’s gotta sting.
And it wasn’t just random users throwing shade. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams joined the roast, calling the trailer “an exercise in celebrity at its most superficial.” He didn’t stop there, adding that it screamed “me, me, me.”
Now, if you thought Meghan would just shrug off the criticism, think again. According to reports, she’s been in full meltdown mode. Word on the street is that Meghan has been storming into Netflix meetings, demanding heads to roll. First on the chopping block? The marketing team—apparently, they didn’t capture her vision. Whatever that vision was. Next up, the editors and writers. It seems no one is safe from Meghan’s wrath.
According to Mike Zero, Netflix has allegedly received over 20,000 complaint emails about the series. 20,000. Let that sink in. The backlash was so intense that some Netflix subscribers reportedly canceled their accounts. Yes, people would rather quit the platform entirely than risk stumbling upon *With Love, Meghan*.
As if the public backlash wasn’t enough, the drama behind the scenes is equally juicy. Netflix’s CEO is rumored to be at odds with the board over the show’s future. The CEO allegedly wants to pull the plug on a second season, but the board has doubled down on their support for Meghan. They’re even letting her handpick a new marketing team. It feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, though, if the show’s trailer is anything to go by.
If this is what Meghan’s cooking show looks like, maybe she should stick to hosting baby showers for her Montecito pals instead of trying to charm the masses. The internet’s verdict? A resounding *no thanks*. Fans have been savage, suggesting everything from sticking pins in their eyes to watching literal paint dry as better alternatives to tuning in.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the creativity of these criticisms? One person called it “a show for women with tons of money and time on their hands, making fussy treats and crafts.” Another said it was “incredibly entitled.” It’s like a masterclass in passive-aggressive insults.
Could Meghan bounce back from this disaster? Maybe. But first, she might want to swap out the “me, me, me” recipe for something a little more palatable. Or, better yet, take a breather and let someone else take the spotlight for a change. Until then, we’ll be here with our popcorn—or paintbrushes—waiting to see if *With Love, Meghan* can survive the heat or if it’s destined for the trash bin of Netflix history.
