Netflix series *With Love, Meghan* is already shaping up to be a production and ratings disaster. The show, which premiered recently, has sparked a whirlwind of controversy involving Meghan Markle, Netflix executives, and the general public.

Over the past few months, we’ve been closely following the behind-the-scenes chaos and Meghan’s questionable behavior, not just with Netflix but also with other studios like HBO and Universal.

The series is currently streaming on Netflix, and there’s a lot to unpack. Interestingly, Meghan is on a scaled-back press tour, which has been significantly minimized. Why? Because Netflix’s board of directors decided to cut back on marketing funds for the show. This explains the lack of commercials or ads promoting the series.

 

But here’s where things get even more interesting. Meghan has started lashing out at critics, blaming the general public for the backlash against her show. Her attempts at damage control are only making things worse, further tarnishing the series’ reputation.

During a recent public appearance, Meghan delivered a lengthy monologue defending her show:

*“The importance of a show like this is the side of my life that so many don’t even know about—my passion for cooking, housework, and hobbies. Critics of this series are showcasing the real problem in this world. The disrespectful and inflammatory behavior from these critics highlights the misogyny and sexism we’re dealing with in 2025. These toxic people, who call themselves critics, are simply afraid and ignorant. It’s embarrassing to see such loud, misguided opinions, especially from women who need guidance. I hope this series inspires them and helps them embrace their dreams. We chose the title *With Love, Meghan* because it’s all about love. This project is my authentic self, and dealing with these loud, inflammatory people only proves that I’ve made it. Jealousy is always a sign of success.”*

Meghan is essentially saying that critics are jealous of her success. But why would anyone be jealous of a show that’s clearly inauthentic and poorly executed? The backlash isn’t about jealousy—it’s about Meghan’s desperate attempt to stay relevant in the entertainment industry.

The truth is, *With Love, Meghan* is a prime example of everything wrong with modern streaming content. Netflix’s recent price hikes, combined with lackluster shows like this, have left viewers fed up. Even some of Meghan’s fans are rejecting the series outright.

The show’s lack of originality is another major issue. Many have pointed out the striking similarities between *With Love, Meghan* and Pamela Anderson’s *Cooking With Love*, which premiered just days earlier. From the rustic kitchen aesthetics to the slow-motion shots of honey drizzling, the parallels are impossible to ignore.

Netflix is doing everything it can to prop up the series, but the damage is already done. Meghan’s inability to handle criticism has only made matters worse. Her constant focus on misogyny and sexism as the root of all criticism is becoming tiresome. It’s clear that she’s not built for damage control, and her efforts are only harming Netflix’s image further.

At its core, *With Love, Meghan* is a reflection of Meghan’s ongoing branding issues. One moment, she’s a feminist advocate speaking at the United Nations; the next, she’s playing homemaker in a Netflix series. This inconsistency is alienating her audience and making it difficult for people to take her seriously.

 

The show’s failure also highlights the public’s growing frustration with inauthenticity, greed, and narcissism in the entertainment industry. Meghan’s insufferable behavior and lack of self-awareness are only adding fuel to the fire.

*With Love, Meghan* is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s worst productions in years. From its lack of originality to Meghan’s tone-deaf responses to criticism, the series is a textbook example of how not to handle a public relations disaster.
