Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s long-awaited docuseries Polo made its debut on Netflix this week.

“It’s clattering and niche, and feels like a spoof documentary designed to play on screens in the background of episodes of Succession,” writes the outlet’s Stuart Heritage. Ouch.

“The critics have universally slammed the show. Harry and Meghan are box office poison. Of course everyone is running away from it, in every direction, so to as to not pick up the stench of this colossal bomb,” advertising knowledgeable Tony Case tells The Each day Beast.

“From a brand perspective, I’m not really sure anything can be done at this point to reverse consumers’ obvious apathy toward the Sussexes,” Case provides.

“Harry and Meghan are putting on a brave face and saying it’s a good bit of fun and ultimately not something to get worked up about,” says the insider.

“So far as they’re involved it’s very unfair they’re catching warmth, they take situation with individuals who roll their eyes and name them actuality TV sellouts.

“Meghan knows it doesn’t really matter how she and Harry feel about it, perception is everything and now online forums are burning up with people ridiculing them,” the supply provides.

“Truth is, it was pretty much out of their control,” they continued. “The bosses wanted the series to appeal to the masses and pushed this reality TV slant so it’s not entirely their fault.”

The Beast additionally notes that Prince William might have subtly trolled Harry and Meghan by revealing that he’s hooked on a unique Netflix present — the Keira Knightley spy thriller Black Doves.

This can be a worst-case state of affairs for Harry and Meghan, who had been in determined want of a success following a 12 months of unhealthy press and failed initiatives.
