Meghan Markle sparks calls about her possibility to excel with With Love, Meghan given that some critics have branded it a “trial by crass materialism” filled with only “self-absorption.”
Royal commentator Daniela Elser made these comments in one of her pieces for News.com.au.
That piece she made note of how, “After more than four years and tens of millions of dollars, the long speculated about Sussex reality TV chapter is finally upon us and my, what a journey it has been to reach this Rubicon-worthy point.”
Because prior to this, “sitting through Polo was such a trial by crass materialism and self-absorption that it nearly made me want to subscribe to The Socialist Worker.”
“And thus we circle back to With Love," because while "the show might mark the Sussexes’ official first step into the reality TV-sphere," there is "only one question worth asking: Will. It. Work?”
“Will it work in terms of streams?” she wondered before adding, “And will it work in terms of pulling off an image do-over and brand refresh for the duchess?”
“Sadly, with my crystal ball on the blink, I can provide no clear predictions – but there have been developments,” Ms Elser jobbed before signing off.
