• Netflix documentary on Prince Harry and Meghan caused controversy after its Thursday release.
• Critics bemoaned how boring the series was. Reviewer called it repetitive, whingy and boring.
• Others thought it was a satisfying look into the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s personal lives.

Whether you like them, dislike them, or don’t care, After its Thursday release, the Netflix documentary on Prince Harry and Meghan caused controversy.

After the first three episodes of the documentary broadcast on the streaming site, Nick Bullen, editor in chief of True Royalty TV, referred to it as the most “self-serving piece of television” he had seen in quite some time and stated it was more like a reality show than a documentary.

The Voice’s editor, Lester Holloway, expressed his emotion and called it a “love story” that discussed their battles with the media as well as the difficulties they had encountered as a relationship.

Harry said in the Netflix documentary that the British royal family had ignored Meghan’s media harassment because of her colour as a rite of passage, and the couple launched a scathing attack on the tabloid press.

The majority of American and British critics’ reviews were unfavourable, and numerous of them bemoaned how boring the series was.

“If I were Netflix, I’d want my money back. Because there was nothing ‘bombshell’ or even very new here. It was beautifully shot but it was repetitive, whingy and boring,” Carol Midgley wrote from The Times in Britain.

According to Stephanie Bunbury of the American news website Deadline, the show failed to offer any fresh explanations for the most frequently asked issues by viewers.

“Three hours into Netflix doc series Harry & Meghan and still no tell-all truths from the darkest corners of the House of Windsor,” Bunbury wrote.

Others thought it to be a satisfying look into the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s personal lives.

“Does Meghan and Harry’s Netflix documentary live up to its no-holds-barred expectations?,” wrote Jessie Thompson from British newspaper The Independent. “Well, within the first five minutes we’ve seen a makeup-less Meghan, hair wrapped in a towel, crying into her phone camera – so I’m going to say yes.”

The audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes were unfavourable. On Thursday, the average rating was 1.3 out of 5 based on 248 reviews.

Commuters in London were split on whether or not to watch.

Salon manager Sarah Barnsbury said she was not going to watch it, while finance manager Nadia Tunar said she believed the couple “just wants attention.”

It’s just not for me, said Barnsbury.

On the other hand, Sharon Brown, a 52-year-old security guard, said it was about time the royals “actually got a voice to say what they need to say.”

Carmel Williams, a 33-year-old customer service representative, described it as “gossip behind the scenes” and said she would like to know what has been occurring and how the couple are feeling.

We all watch them, right? Paul Driscoll, 52, the head of IT at a private equity firm, said: “I’ll probably watch it.”

He added: “They’re welcome to do whatever they want to do, but I’m not really sure it’s the right time for them to do it.” (Reuters)
