Fans have been left unimpressed with Meghan Markle’s social media marketing techniques as she continues to promote season two of her upcoming show ‘With Love, Meghan’. In an “unconvincing” post on her personal page, Meghan Markle posted a cooking pot full of oil and thinly cut potatoes, with the caption: “New season of ‘With Love, Meghan’ August 26 on @netflix. Dare I say ‘It’s all that… and a bag of chips”.
In a recent press release from Archewell Productions, it was announced Meghan and guests would “explore bold flavours, experiment with new techniques, and discover simple ways to add beauty to everyday life,” in her new show. However, social media users have described Meghan’s marketing techniques as “unappealing”.
One user wrote: “Anyone get the sense Netflix doesn’t care at all about this show? This is not enticing at all.”
Whereas another X user simply wrote: “She has to stop with these stupid quips!” Another wrote: “Is she frying up potato chips? Normal people don’t make their own chips, but whatever. I don’t want to watch someone doing this on a show.”
One added: “Is this & pasta the extent of her cooking skills? Thus far I’ve seen nothing shes made that I’d want to try.”
Another quipped: “They don’t seem to care about the show or the brand it’s an absolute mess, and a brand as big as Netflix would have made it successful or at least not seem this amateurish.”
The phrase “It’s all that”, is a remark that dates back to the 1990s. ‘All That’ is an American sketch comedy children’s television series created by Brian Robbins and Mike Tollin. The series originally aired on Nickelodeon from April 16, 1994, to October 22, 2005, lasting ten seasons.
Meghan’s trailer for season 2 of her Netflix series was released on August 12. It teased appearances from a mix of her celebrity friends, including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, Alice Waters, Chrissy Teigen and Tan France.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry announced on August 11 that they have signed a new ‘first-look’ deal with Netflix for future film and television projects.
Meghan said: “We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand,” Meghan said in a statement. “My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally and celebrates our shared vision.”
One review of season one in The Guardian, described the show as a “gormless lifestyle filler” and “so pointless it might be the Sussexes’ last TV show,” while the Telegraph described it as “insane”.
