The scenery is so gorgeous that I'm somehow not bothered by how twee it is. I like Meghan but can see how it's a bit much for people. I've watched 5 episodes just as a de-stresser and it's working on me!
I think the thing its not a cooking show. She is not a cook. She is Meghan Markle, still claiming to have right to royal titles, whose persona is the main hook of the show. Thus, it can only be expected that her character draws some commentaries.
She makes ZERO claim to royalty on the show except when she refers to her married last name. She is indeed married to royalty. Maybe I should not have referred to it as a cooking show. You’re right. It’s not. BUT. Her show is no different than Martha Stewart, Ree Drummond, or Joanna Gaines. If you hate this show, you unfairly are judging her on a personal biased, likely developed from all the hate media formed from the opposition.
I think the difference is that Martha Stewart, Ree Drummond, and Joanna Gaines all came to fame via their cooking/home brands, which gives them a certain lived expertise in those areas, even if they aren't formally trained in them (i.e. we made them famous because we liked the lifestyle content they put out). Meghan, however, is an actor/celebrity who moved into the lifestyle space on the back of pre-existing fame. Which isn't a bad thing! Nor is she the first person to do it. Selena Gomez's cooking show is probably the best comp here. But it's still fair to think about and discuss what kind of celebrity lifestyle content we prefer (i.e. Selena positioning herself as the clueless novice vs. Meghan positioning herself as more of an expert).
Indeed, I think it's fair to analyze *any* lifestyle show in terms of how much we like the host and how helpful we find their advice. For the record, I loved Ree Drummond's blog, but think she's a total dud as an on-camera personality. And Joanna Gaines' obsession with shiplap is just as ridiculous as any of Meghan's tips and tricks!
Wow! Is it that you wish you had her success? The irony is, everything she created and did can literally be done on a shoestring budget. She mat have a huge flower market, I have Trader Joe's and just as fun. Everything was very simple and she's just sharing things she enjoys doing, and is actually pretty good at. It seems pasta, olive oil, herbs and veggies are too pretentious for most that commented, but is actually easy AND affordable.
Sure, she may seem drab or uncomfortable in front of the camera describing all she's doing, it's not the same as acting from a script. I love how down to earth and wholesome she seems. Big deal if her guests are her actual friends and most aren't celebrities. There is enough of that out there. At least it's not yet another Garbage Wives of Self-Importanceville.
I loved Megan's show. I truly am looking forward to seeing more . Megan has a notch and seems to love what she was doing . Yes, she is of royalty. But she has this kind disposition and desire to feel her femininity. I Loved seeing her expressions in all she did. Art is something that we all need to get by our daily lives 🙏 . Megan is blessed, I'm looking forward to watching her next hmm 🤔 exhibit!
I'm so done with all the Meghan criticism. All of it is so petty. She done a million times more for others, than most of these people. Anyhow , I love watching her show. It's fun, sweet has some fun ideas.
She's adorable ,sweet and down to earth
I'm so happy that she and Harry have finally landed in a happy place

Oh, if I had the money I would definitely be renting out the house where they filmed for a vacation! It's a stunning area.
A little harsh. It’s no different than any other cooking show

Yea. No.
My sentiments exactly
This is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve read all year, thank you x
This is perfect. I'm genuinely enjoying the show while having all the same thoughts.
thank you for the recap so I don't actually have to watch!
This was perfect
I laughed so hard. Thank you, I wanted to watch it only for these bits of information. Now I can go back to true crime and Scandinoir !

Can you do the same thing for Love is Blind?? This season is so bad that I can’t bring myself to watch it but I want to know what happens 😆
This makes me want to watch it but I can’t explain why lol
It is very soothing in a smooth brain sort of way.
