Live[s] up to its no-holds-barred expectations. ... There's plenty of dynamite stuff to give the Sussexes' detractors something to spew over. At points, it's hard to tell if the couple are naïve or disingenuous. ... But, at times, I find the couple endearing; at others, deeply sympathetic.

Harry & Meghan feels like a genuine and honest story of what it’s like behind palace doors.

This show exposes the racism and hypocrisy of the Palace and its cast of bullies, especially Cruella Camilla and Kate and William. They feed dirt to the tabloid press on Harry and Meghan and the people who consume the tabloid press eat it up. The Royals are racists and are jealous of Meghan and decided to destroy her. Harry is sincere and believable and is protecting himself and his family from attacks by the Palace. They are popular in the US and would be more so in the UK without the influence of Rupert Murdock's murderous tabloid press. The monarchy is a joke.

Great look into the lives and backstory of the couple. Such an obvious troll-farm attack in the reviews below. Several of them have the exact same odd phrasing. C'mon - get a life! If you're interested in the story, a great watch imo. You can see below that the scummy trolls won't ever stop - they seem really "hard done."

A sharper editor might have encourage the trimming of previously reported information that ultimately isn’t relevant to what appears to be the broader goal: Assessing the system itself. The series doesn’t fully solve this dilemma, of servicing the intentions of its two primary subjects, while also telling a larger story about the intertwined interests of the monarchy and tabloid media, all of it shaped and informed by xenophobia and racism.

It is unsurprising that the portrait ends up a flattering one, sympathetic to their trials and scrupulously respectful of their perspectives. What it does not turn out to be is essential.

It’s a diary entry. Diary entries can be helpful when they provide untold insights into their subjects, but “Harry & Meghan” is merely a long, redundant recap of two very public lives. And absent any challenging questions from outside the couple’s tidy little love bubble, it’s a dull one at that.

As with the most recent, painfully dull season of “The Crown,” there seems a sort of narrative stuckness, an inability or lack of desire to find the next thing to say that we haven’t yet heard.

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.

So far I am loving this series. Too many will review bomb this for petty reasons. It's a sweet love story, but I am really impressed with the history of racism in the Commonwealth. I look forward to the rest of the series. It is sad to me that this is what they have to do to combat racist, jealous trolls but here we are.

Although 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.

I get the sense nobody has ever said no to these people. Like, no, this is not the best idea. No, not as many think you're cute as you may think.

The series never had a clear mission. It wasn't a documentary with facts. It wasn't a true reality show as so much was staged. The dialogue dragged. There was too much repetition. Netflix did not do well on this.

I want a more private life. So I don’t have a TV show. Or a podcast. And I’ve never done an interview with Oprah.
