Meghan Markle’s Culinary Dreams Go Up in Smoke

It appears Meghan Markle's much-anticipated cooking show is facing a fiery backlash before it even makes its debut.

Slated for release on January 15, the series promised an enticing mix of stunning visuals from Montecito and Markle's self-styled culinary prowess.

However, the trailer's launch has resulted in anything but accolades; instead, social media erupted with criticism.

Viewers are labeling the show as entitled, tone-deaf, and, frankly, a snoozefest.

The internet's response has been brutally honest.

One user on X succinctly stated, “uh, no thanks,” while another described the trailer as terrible.

Perhaps the most stinging remark came from someone who said they'd rather watch paint dry than tune into the show.

Ouch!

Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a project only to be met with such lackluster enthusiasm.

That's got to hurt.

But it wasn't just casual viewers throwing shade at Markle.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams weighed in, branding the trailer as an exercise in celebrity superficiality.

He went further, claiming it exuded a “me, me, me” vibe that many found off-putting.

Given this level of critique, it's hard to imagine Markle brushing off the backlash with a smile.

Reports suggest that Markle is far from calm.

Sources indicate she's been storming into Netflix meetings, demanding accountability for the negative reception.

First on her list?

The marketing team, which she believes failed to convey her vision—whatever that might have entailed.

Next up are the editors and writers, as it seems no one is safe from her frustration.

In a shocking twist, it's been reported that Netflix has received over 20,000 complaint emails regarding the series.

Yes, you read that right—20,000.

That's a staggering number that underscores the intensity of the backlash.

Some subscribers have even gone so far as to cancel their accounts rather than risk stumbling upon “With Love, Meghan.”

As if the public outcry wasn't enough, the behind-the-scenes drama is equally compelling.

Rumors are swirling that Netflix's CEO is at odds with the board about the future of the show.

While the CEO is reportedly keen on pulling the plug on a second season, the board remains steadfast in their support for Markle.

They're even allowing her to select a new marketing team, which feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic given the current state of affairs.

If the trailer is any indication of what's to come, perhaps Markle would be better off hosting intimate baby showers for her friends in Montecito rather than trying to win over the masses.

The verdict from the internet?

A resounding “no thanks.”

Fans have unleashed their creativity in critiquing the show, suggesting alternatives that range from sticking pins in their eyes to simply watching paint dry.

One particularly pointed comment described the show as catering to women with ample money and free time, busy making fussy treats and crafts.

Another critic labeled it incredibly entitled.

It's almost impressive how these comments manage to blend humor with sharp insights.

Could Markle potentially recover from this setback?

It's possible, but it might require her to shift gears.

Swapping out the self-centered narrative for something more relatable could be a good start.
