Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries Love, Meghan has been at the center of a new trend of “hate-watching,” as viewers appear to be watching just to judge every moment. Though the show tries to portray Meghan as warm, charming, and down-to-earth, viewers disagree that every scene is overly staged to project this persona.
From serendipitous montages to heartwarming tales, the show seems designed to maximize appeal, yet has ended up leaving everybody doubting its reality. Twitter is filled with divergent opinions, some terming it “PR-heavy storytelling”, but others terming it empowering and uplifting.
In spite of the backlash and criticism, Love, Meghan continues to dominate headlines, showing that you can love her or hate her, Meghan Markle is still a global obsession. The polarizing reception of the show is raising questions about public opinion, media narratives, and the thin line between personal branding and authentic storytelling.
