With Love, Meghan on Netflix

[Anonymous]

Seems a little tone-deaf, no? At a time when many Americans are struggling, focus on flower sprinkles and hostessing? Or at least on being wealthy enough to live in Montecito, because really the setting makes the show.

Somehow, per usual, her timing couldn’t be worse. She delayed the release originally because of the wildfires only to plop it in the middle of mass layoffs and stock market and economic crashes? Bizarre.

Well she couldn't delay it forever. Even if it were a year ago, I think would have been tone deaf. The aspirational Martha Stewart days are long gone.

It’s just so silly and surface. I honestly don’t get it.

Ya’ll are nutty and care way too much.

Good lord, what’s wrong with you and your husband? Please don’t take recs from Meghan Sussex…unless you’re laying a trap through this post for a future tragic WaPo Metro headline: “Beloved Vienna Mid-Range Earner and Father Stung to Death by Swarm in Amateur Apiary.”

Yeah no, you are nuts. The PP was right.

It's not even watchable as escapism from the current reality. It just doesn't hit right on any level.

This show will obviously get the attention out of the gate, but mark my words… it will be out of the top 10 within the week. Maybe sooner.

Pamela does well in this format because she is the opposite of Meghan-- stunningly self-aware and doesn't take herself too seriously. And she's actually a better actress than Meghan.

Plus she is interesting because she has had more than 30 years of hard work (successful and not) in the industry, plus personal trials and tribulations that she has overcome, including a dang sex tape.

Yeah it feels like PA is not trying to prove anything at this stage. She's got a long past.

Basically the opposite of MM.

You contrast Pamela Anderson….no makeup at all, does not care if people screech that she looks pale or shiny or washed out or whatever…with Meghan Markle. She truly does not care. She makes you feel like you can relax too because no one is trying to curate perfection whereas Meghan quite obviously has o perfectly arranged every disheveled tendril of her hair to look just so. I feel you would have real talk with PA, whereas you get a lot of very self-conscious “OK GALS” type performative nonsense among Meghan’s perfectly coiffed and dressed friend group. Mindy Kaling was made up like she was going to a photocall. I wouldn’t feel remotely relaxed in an environment like that.

I hate that hair tendril look so much. It's so contrived.

Every single thing about the show feels contrived, that’s the problem. Martha S never felt that way.

It’s too fake is the issue. So over the top. She feels uncomfortable and overly made up. It’s awkward.

Oh yes she did. Martha was painfully contrived. Trust me, I watched her throughout grad school on daytime tv 2000-2002. She was stilted and awkward. She was pretentious. Her recipes were terrible. BUT she had good taste, great design sensibility and a genuine interest in antiques, design and craft projects.

You and PP are not smart. Anyone who cannot see through the bullshi!y on tbis show has every screw loose. It’s an intelligence thing.

This is correct and I say that as someone who did like some things in the show, namely that visor she wore on the hike and her sweet dogs. I also I have been googling recipes for focaccia bread. But I would never buy anything of hers and I also think everything she did has already been done. This show feels so 10 years ago.

What is there to like on the show?

A husband in a heterosexual relationship would “be impressed” by this show?

[Anonymous]

Check out "Fixing Famous People" podcast on Meghan - so hilarious. Doubled over laughing while out walking the dog.

The JAM jars! I love the line of questioning Mindy threw her on the jam jars. So freaking funny. You just gotta laugh.

"This is not my house" omg "I'm sussex now"

Whose name is that? what name is that? did she legally change her name to "Meghan Sussex"

Whatever it is,
it's better than watching the news!

I really don’t get the scorching negative reviews, excessive cattiness and over the top bullying. It is definitely a personal attack because of the deep hatred of Meghan. It is amusing to see the ridiculous comments- if you don’t like her, don’t waste your time.
