However, despite its popularity, the response to the series has been downright brutal.
Over 4,400 alleged viewers have rated the Netflix series on rotten tomatoes , handing out ratings that average a dismal 14% audience score. A sample of the comments shows many viewers accusing Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry whining and lying. Many said they couldn’t finish the entire series. Check out some of the half-star and 1-star ratings:
- A huge grievance party based on a series of lies, half-truths and reality distortions by two of the most privileged people on the planet. Hard to see without throwing up.
- A horrible spin-off of toddlers and tiarasonly they are both over 40 years old.
- I’ve had better shit than this belly.
- God, I wish I had a real rotten tomato to throw at Harry and Meghan. Pompous and plaintive.
- I think H&M have some valid grievances but the way they have chosen to handle/circulate them seems petty, childish, spoiled, pathetic, whiny and dirty. They are gone and should GTFU, move on with their lives and for once take a page out of the late Queen’s book ‘Never Complain, Never Explain’.
- I wish I could go back in time and not experience this.
- I watched the first episode to see what all the fuss was about. It was like watching your neighbors home movie from your summer vacation with a soundtrack.
- Filthy scum with two of the most despicable people on the planet.
- Shit, pure shit
It’s clear that the series has impressed many viewers, especially those loyal to the royal family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no stranger to controversy . The criticism of his Netflix series started even before its premiere, when old photos out of context was used in the trailer to depict the press harassing the famous couple. A representative of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also responded backlash on the launch of a series after fans (incorrectly) claimed the pair requested confidentiality when they stepped back from royal duties.
Given the pair’s polarized opinions, the show is likely to receive a whirlwind review, with many people posting negative comments and low ratings in an effort to hurt a project’s popularity. However, the critical response is also less than celebratory, lending credence to at least some of the responses from the public. Out of reviews from 24 critics, the series only earned a 42% rating.
Even the most positive reviews, including the evening norm recognize harry and meghan is “a completely old story, which will irritate older viewers”, and the Independent (UK) he describes it as “self-aggrandizing” but “totally entertaining”. The negative reviews seem to match the comments made in the audience comments, which include Carol Midgley, British Times critic (opens in a new tab)The 2/5 star review from , which said in part:
Harry and Meghan have reportedly landed a $100 million deal for their ‘poor us’ Netflix series, Harry & Meghan. If I was Netflix, I’d get my money back. Because there was nothing “bomb” or even very new here. It was shot beautifully but it was repetitive, whiny and boring. Halfway through the three hour first volume where Harry tells us “it’s a great love story” (shouldn’t others judge?), I begged him to stop.
It’s unclear how many viewers begged it to stop before the six-episode docuseries was over, but in any case, it remained popular enough to continue to rank as one of the best shows on Netflix.
