Netflix ‘Exhausted’ by Meghan Markle as Her and Prince Harry’s Polo Show Bombs
Daily Beast ^ | 12/14/2024 | Tom Sykes

Posted on 12/15/2024 6:33:37 PM PST by simpson96

Amid the apparent unfolding failure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s five-part documentary about polo, sources have told the Daily Mail that Netflix executives are “exhausted” from working with Markle, and her future at the streaming giant now rests on her “make or break” cookery show, which still has no premiere date.

The Daily Beast has reported that the Sussexes—once heralded as Netflix’s golden duo who promised “content that informs but also gives hope” through a “truthful and relatable lens”—and Netflix appear keen to move on from Polo, which was lambasted by critics.

One called it a “tedious inside look” at the sport and a “dull indulgence” while another reviewer suggested the series seemed designed as a spoof to play in the background of Succession episodes.(snip)

One source told the Daily Mail: “It’s make or break. People say Netflix are exhausted. It’s so much work with her and, bluntly, the ‘deliverable’ does not seem to be worth it.”

Another entertainment executive reportedly said, “Her show will have to be an enormous hit to turn around their deal and their reputations in this town.”

Yeesh. She becomes a Royal, and instead of rising above stuff like this, she wants to wallow in it.

Just what a "commoner" would do.

Oh no! I don’t remember hearing that either of them had polio. Was an iron lung involved? Was it Harry or Meghan?

... oh wait. POLO.

Nevermind.

Good Lord, I can’t imagine not falling asleep after fifteen minutes of a five-part documentary on polo! I think I’d rather watch the iron lung thing.

Diana was an emotional child, and Charles seems to have been a self-centered and aloof father.

I don’t know how William and Harry were raised.

With Harry, it appears his only upbringing was “try not to embarrass the monarchy too badly”

Princess Kate is also a commoner by birth. But she has class.

The line is not between royal, noble and commoner but between who has class and who does not.

And class is something you learn. Usually from your parents.

Her show won’t be any good because she is a total retard whacko narcissist.

Watching her embarrasses me for her.

She and Harry are total fail.

We are Americans, we threw out British royalty almost 250 years ago. Who wants to watch it on Netflix so they can make money and give it to the communists?

Absolutely. Inner city polo courts are flooded with prospective players. Basketball is dead!

Decades ago, I was watching a polo match, dismissed it as a bunch of bored millionaires knocking a ball around, and marveled that it could be considered entertainment. Shortly after that, I lost all interest in the NFL and all other professional sports.
