Meghan Markle's Netflix Show 'With Love, Meghan': Why Experts Say Her TV Career Could Be Over

Meghan Markle's new television venture, 'With Love, Meghan,' which debuted on Netflix this Tuesday, has been met with heavy criticism, according to a Financial Express report. The show features the Duchess of Sussex preparing Korean fried chicken with chef Roy Choi and making bath salts for her makeup artist, Daniel Martin. However, rather than gaining praise, it has sparked a wave of negative reviews from critics in both the UK and the US.

PR expert Eric Schiffer did not hold back in his critique. Speaking to Newsweek, Schiffer called the show a "ratings disaster," branding Meghan as the "Duchess of Flops." He argued that her attempt to present herself as a "modern-day Martha Stewart" felt disconnected and desperate. Schiffer suggested Meghan should focus on her charitable work rather than entering the lifestyle and cooking genre.

The show also generated controversy over Meghan's reaction to actress Mindy Kaling addressing her as "Meghan Markle" instead of the Duchess of Sussex. Additionally, Meghan's decision to repackage Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Pretzel Nuggets into personalised bags was met with criticism, with some calling it unnecessary and pretentious.

Reviews from major publications have been scathing. In the UK, The Independent gave it only one star, calling it "queasy and exhausting." The Guardian described it as "toe-curlingly unlovable TV," and columnist Marina Hyde labelled it as "a ghastly artefact of a particular cultural era." In the US, Variety dismissed it as "a Montecito ego trip not worth taking."

Given the overwhelmingly negative response, many critics speculate that this could be the Sussexes' last major project with Netflix.
