Meghan Markle finds herself at the center of controversy once again, this time for her handling of the backlash surrounding her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
If the test screening reviews were a graded exam, Meghan wouldn’t just fail—she’d score an outright "F." Instead of taking the criticism in stride, reports suggest that Meghan is having a meltdown, with sources like insider Mike Zero claiming the situation has become so dire that even Netflix executives are contemplating pulling the plug. The fallout is so intense that Netflix’s subscriber count is reportedly dropping faster than Meghan’s patience with criticism.
The series, which Meghan seemingly envisioned as her breakout moment in the streaming world, has been a resounding disappointment. Alarmingly, 65% of the test viewers were her fans, but even they couldn’t muster much enthusiasm for the production. The consensus? Poor writing, painfully awkward acting, and a delivery so wooden it might make an inanimate plank seem Oscar-worthy. The scathing reviews have likely left Meghan questioning whether she inadvertently signed up for a reality check instead of a creative triumph.
Yet, instead of using the feedback to improve the show or reflect on what went wrong, Meghan chose a different route: lashing out at her own supporters. Labeling the criticism as "unfair" and "biased," she reportedly dismissed the feedback entirely. Her response not only alienated fans but also showcased a lack of professionalism. Publicly attacking the very people who supported her might be one of the quickest ways to erode goodwill—and Meghan seems to be learning that the hard way.
Meanwhile, Netflix is grappling with its own set of challenges. Executives are reportedly growing anxious over the project, especially with the flood of complaints from angry subscribers. To make matters worse, rivals like Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max are siphoning away viewers as Netflix tries to salvage its reputation. Although the platform has not yet pulled the plug on Meghan’s series, whispers about whether her contract will be renewed beyond 2025 suggest the outlook isn’t optimistic.
Behind the scenes, the tension is palpable. Writers are allegedly abandoning ship, citing difficulties in working with Meghan. If a second season does materialize, it’s already being dubbed Season 2: No One Cares by skeptical insiders. Even Netflix executives are rumored to be weary of dealing with Meghan’s alleged diva behavior. Her unwillingness to accept constructive criticism and her insistence on framing detractors as biased are reportedly testing their patience.
Adding to the chaos, Meghan’s desperate attempts to salvage her series have drawn ridicule. Her recent plea for a “fresh group of viewers” to give the show another shot feels less like a genuine marketing strategy and more like a last-ditch effort to avoid complete failure. Unfortunately for her, the internet remains unforgiving. The series trailer on YouTube has earned a jaw-dropping 180,000 downvotes, with a staggering 91% dislike rate. Over 62,000 brutal comments fill the page, leaving little doubt about how audiences feel. One scathing comment compared watching the show to enduring a "never-ending cringe marathon."
The numbers paint a bleak picture for With Love, Meghan. If Netflix’s subscriber losses continue to mount and Meghan’s behavior keeps alienating her fan base, cancellation could be imminent. Insiders claim the writing team has all but abandoned plans for a second season, leaving the scripts to gather dust in some forgotten folder. Meghan’s inability to retain even her most loyal fans raises questions about whether she can recover from this debacle.
Perhaps Netflix should consider launching a new series: The Best of Meghan’s Bad Reviews. Ironically, that might draw more viewers than the original project ever could. As it stands, the Meghan Markle Netflix saga serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of ignoring criticism, undervaluing fans, and overestimating one’s star power.
