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.”

They have a documentary about polo? Should be fun. As for bombing I think question is why am I only finding out about it now?
If Netflix wants viewers they need to show bullfights—the bulls tearing the Royals to shreds should get great ratings.
I would rather have watched a Polo show with the late Ginger Baker, he was a huge Polo aficionado.
If you said the wrong thing he might hit you with that cane of his though.
I’m kind of a sports documentary nut. Especially for sports I don’t watch. I don’t know why. Netflix should know that by now, they pump a lot of sports docs at me. And they failed on this one. So maybe they actually want it to die, get no numbers and give them an out.

That was a great documentary. The director was lucky to make it out alive, LOL.
Maybe she should do her cooking show topless?
Not that I would watch it one way or the other.
We dumped Netflix years ago.
I just went to the website.
There’s no way to do a search to see whats on it at the moment.
Netflix is requiring you to buy a pig in a poke.
No thanks.
Also a little depressing. But yeah, one crazy guy.
Boy, do you have to dig to find this...

A couple of branded stores selling Bridgerton chocolates and Harkle tat are not going to fix the churn issue.
Anyone else wondering if taxpayer dollars have been paying for Netflix subscriptions...
Note the timing...
Q for DOGE: Were US taxpayers paying for Netflix subscriptions in freaking foreign countries??
USAID isn’t bankrolling these con games anymore!
