Meghan Markle’s controversial Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, which initially soared into the top 10 before plummeting to the 383rd spot, has been described by royal expert Edward Coram-James as lacking the substance to maintain audience interest.
Coram-James, speaking to The Express, explained that the show’s decline was inevitable due to its lack of “enough depth” to keep viewers engaged. He noted that while the initial surge in popularity was driven by curiosity about the Duchess of Sussex, audiences quickly lost interest once the novelty wore off.
“To be honest, no [I wasn’t surprised about the flop],” Coram-James said, adding, “The initial surge, which reached the top 10 for a day or two, was mainly driven by curiosity about Meghan Markle.” He further emphasized that the sharp decline to 383rd place worldwide indicated that the content wasn’t captivating enough to retain viewers.
Explaining the reasons behind the initial interest in the show, Coram-James pointed out, “They watched because it was her, but they didn’t stay because the show didn’t have enough story depth or a unique angle to make them want to keep watching.”
As for the future of the series, Coram-James didn’t hold high hopes for With Love, Meghan Season 2. “As for With Love, Meghan Season 2, I don’t expect a big jump in its rankings. Unless there’s a major change up in content, Season 2 might face similar challenges,” he said.
Despite the early success driven by Meghan’s fame, the series appears to be struggling to maintain its appeal, with critics questioning whether it can evolve into something that will truly captivate viewers long-term.
