Meghan Markle's Netflix Show Garners Mixed Reactions and Strong Viewership

The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle series debuts in Netflix's Top 10 but faces criticism from UK media and her estranged half-brother.

Meghan Markle's eight-episode Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan' premiered on March 4 and quickly entered Netflix's Top 10 TV shows in the U.S.
The show features Markle hosting friends and celebrities, including Mindy Kaling and chef Roy Choi, while sharing cooking, gardening, and hosting tips.
Critics in the UK have largely panned the series, describing it as 'pointless,' 'narcissistic,' and lacking humor, while U.S. outlets offered more favorable reviews praising its personal touch.
Markle's estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., criticized the show as 'bland' and disputed claims about her upbringing shared in the series.
Despite the criticism, Markle celebrated the show's streaming success and used its release to promote her new lifestyle brand, As Ever.
