    A viewer really has to be on board the royal soap-opera bus not to be bored out of one’s mind by “Harry & Meghan,” not that anyone on it rides a bus.

    Self-obsessed, disingenuous and completely lacking in self awareness, the two privileged millionaire grifters take the Netflix dollar bySelf-obsessed, disingenuous and completely lacking in self awareness, the two privileged millionaire grifters take the Netflix dollar by attacking the press and British monarchy with this completely one-sided "documentary". You know what you're in for when the very first frame, telling you the palace had declined to comment, is a lie. Truth is they were never offered the chance to respond. 3 hours of self-pity and not one single admission on their part that they did anything wrong. Three years after they left they are still banging on about how hard done by they are. Harry is stupid (and thoroughly emasculated), Meghan is a textbook narcissist and as a couple they are dull and sanctimonious. Harry's creepy obsession with his dead mother is off-putting to say the least; a middle aged man who at heart remains the little boy walking behind his mother's coffin. If the British royal family is so racist, why are they clinging on to their titles? It's because without them, nobody would be interested in them. Full Review »

    Although the episodes so far look like they could use some trimming, the content - especially from Harry has been compelling. I knew littleAlthough the episodes so far look like they could use some trimming, the content - especially from Harry has been compelling. I knew little about Meghan going in but she seems likable and straight forward. Her mother is charming but seems to be holding back. The niece showing up was a surprise.
    Everything seems to circle round to Diana and the way she was hounded, harassed and made miserable by the tabloids. Harry seems to be intent on not letting his family suffer in a like manner. They haven't said (so far) who made the remarks about Archie's skin color Obviously, the trashy tabloids that Harry (rightfully) castigates, have done quite a number on this couple and this is their way of putting the truth out.
