A viewer who rated With Love poorly described watching it as “the worst few minutes of my life.”

“I couldn’t even get through the first episode. It was so boring I felt like slipping into a coma. Nothing fresh, nothing creative, nothing engaging. I can’t do this anymore. I give up. I’m crying Uncle!!!”

Another viewer criticized the show as “too superficial and shallow,” adding, “It’s neither a good cooking show nor an interesting design show… it’s just an ego trip! Extremely uncomfortable to watch. A complete waste of time.”

The criticism extends to IMDb, where the series holds a 2.6 out of 10 rating from over 1,000 reviews.

Despite the backlash, Meghan, 43, shared a new photo with Gloria Steinem on Instagram, revealing that she had “filmed something fun” while in New York. She posted a short clip of herself walking down a hallway in wide-leg trousers and a white vest, with the caption: “Filmed something fun in the city today.”

However, industry experts suggest this lifestyle series could be the last Netflix project for Meghan under the couple’s $100 million deal, especially given the negative response. While Harry & Meghan, their 2022 documentary, was a major hit in terms of viewership, their subsequent projects—Heart of Invictus in 2023 and Polo last December—failed to generate significant interest.

Now, the Sussexes are eager for Meghan’s latest series to be a success, as questions loom over their partnership with Netflix if their content continues to underperform. Analysts argue that the lack of royal family revelations—one of the key draws of their initial documentary—may result in lower viewer interest.

So far, British audiences have been largely unimpressed, and the show’s future remains uncertain. Critics have dismissed it as “gormless lifestyle filler” with a “tangible desperation” and even described it as “so bad it’s almost compelling.”

In her Mail+ column, Amanda Platell remarked that Harry is likely just as desperate as Meghan for the show to succeed, as their Netflix deal supports their “millionaire LA lifestyle.”

Meanwhile, some left-leaning outlets, including The Guardian, have speculated that this could be the last Netflix production for the couple unless it achieves strong ratings. One critic suggested the show highlights Meghan’s “attempt to cling to fame by any means possible,” while another mocked a scene where she was seen “joylessly filling kids’ party bags with seeds.”

Commenting on the poor reception, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline: “After Heart of Invictus failed to capture audience attention and Polo predictably flopped, this is make or break for Meghan.”
