This Is Why Season 2 Of Meghan Markle's Netflix Show Is Being Slammed By Critics

The Duchess of Sussex is back in the kitchen for a new season of With Love, MeghanThe second season of With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix this week – and it’s proved just as polarising as the show’s first run.Eight new episodes of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series debuted on the platform earlier this week, featuring yet more cooking, crafting and home-related tips from the Duchess of Sussex and her array of famous guests.While the first season was heavily slammed by both critics and viewers for feeling a little out-of-touch in the current social and economic climate, the follow-up has faced many of the same criticisms.Here’s a quick selection of what’s been said about With Love, Meghan’s second run…The Independent (1/5) “The main takeaway word for the casual viewer is ‘inadequate’. For how else are the rest of us supposed to feel when gaslit by a multimillionaire insisting that constructing homemade necklaces or flower arrangements is a cinch – a statement she’s making from the comfort of her ‘craft barn’? When she lectures us while grilling French toast that ‘it’s not as complicated as most people think it is’ to make a hot breakfast for your partner and kids every morning?”The Hollywood Reporter“It’s perfectly fine for Markle to be unrelatable, though I’m not sure she knows that; however, the absence of that ingredient makes the richness of the entertainment factor in this series all the more important. Unfortunately, the show lacks an engaging draw on that front as well, with its safe conversations that just barely surpass small talk.”With Love, Meghan features tips on everything from gardening and cooking to crafting and hosting guestsThe Times“With Love, Meghan is baffling. It occupies the sweet spot where irrelevant meets intolerable. It’s like an advert for somewhere we’ll never go and aren’t invited, an ego trip in a sun hat that boils down to this: Meghan is pretty and likes roast chicken and flower arranging.”The Guardian (2/5) “It’s so boring, so contrived, so effortfully whimsical that, do you know what? In the end, it does become almost fascinating.”The Sun“Meghan Markle’s second series of her self-indulgent Netflix show With Love, Meghan has hit TV screens – with more nauseating clips of her gushing over simple foods.”The Telegraph (2/5) “Meghan does have her self-deprecating moments, and would come across as so much more likeable if she let us see more of them. When she meets a bartender who used to be a lawyer, she asks: ‘Did you watch Suits?’ ‘No, I don’t watch basic cable,’ he replies. Someone with no sense of humour wouldn’t have left that in. Mind you, that episode about cocktail-making in Malibu is dedicated to the first responders and victims of the California wildfires, so the air of tone-deafness remains.”Yahoo!“I kept wishing for more connection, not consumption. That’s the ingredient that would finally make the show feel real. Watching Meghan hand-toss salads with manicured fingers or turn a cracked pottery mug into a candleholder, while guests laugh on cue, feels out of step with the moment.”Vanity Fair“By welcoming a different mix of talent and speeding up the pace, the show proves that it doesn’t need to be a view into Meghan’s real life to still have something true at its heart.”With Love, Meghan is now streaming on Netflix.READ MORE:Pamela Anderson Shuts Down Meghan Markle 'Rip-Off' Drama With 1 Perfect LineMeghan Markle Speaks Out On *That* Viral 'Baby Mama' Dance Clip'I Was Not Well': Meghan Markle Opens Up About A Difficult Moment She's Never Shared Before
