With Love, Meghan Expected to Spark Hate-Watching Trend on Netflix

Meghan Markle's new Netflix series, 'With Love, Meghan,' has sparked mixed reactions since its release, with some media experts suggesting it could thrive on a trend known as hate-watching, where viewers engage with content they dislike to partake in broader conversations. The show features Markle engaging in domestic activities like cooking and gardening alongside guests, aiming for a lifestyle vibe reminiscent of Martha Stewart. Despite the high expectations set by the couple's lucrative Netflix deal, the series marks the fourth project under their Archewell banner, following a string of disappointments, including their previous works, which failed to resonate with audiences. Critics argue that unless the show captures a wider audience beyond its core fans, it may not reverse the trend of underwhelming viewership associated with their content. Markle's foray into lifestyle programming raises questions about her ability to transition into this genre, especially as comparisons to established figures like Stewart are inevitable. The future of Markle's media endeavors hangs in the balance as reactions continue to unfold.
