US media slam Harry and Meghan's $100M 'snoozefest' Netflix series as 'hypocritical attention grab' in which Sussexes show 'how pinched and unimaginative their presence on the world stage has become'
(Excerpts)
The New York Post pulled no punches with its description of the docuseries as a 'hypocritical attention grab'
The Wall Street Journal called it a 'Royal Pity Party' and added: 'A viewer really has to be on board the royal soap-opera bus not to be bored out of one¿s mind'
Variety's critic said the couple's documentary was a rehash of 'the Royal-Family Drama, One More Time'
'Netflix Docuseries Takes a Lot of Time to Reveal Very Little', said the Hollywood Reporter, whose reviewer said the series so far 'offers too little that feels fresh enough to merit its luxurious six-episode sprawl for all but the most fervent royal watchers'
IndieWire's scathing review calls the docuseries a 'dull diary entry' and a 'Netflix vanity project'
Slate says the initial episodes are 'a bit of a mess' and, like other critical reviews, notes that many of the revelations from the docuseries are simply repeats of what's been said previously.

The only thing remarkable about Harry and Meghan is their connection to the Royal Family.
Now that they have burned bridges with the Royal Family, it is becoming apparent to members of the public who used to admire them, as well as to the streaming companies who have showered them with millions of dollars, that they simply do not having anything to offer. They have no special gifts or expertise. Meghan was an actress whose greatest claim to fame before being Harry's girlfriend (and then wife) was a supporting role in a TV drama which was not widely watched, already at a fairly advanced stage in her career. Harry was not clever enough to go to university, despite being educated at Eton College and having had all sorts of private tutoring.
Those who used to admire the couple probably do not even know why they ever did as it cannot be due to anything they have done, and it was likely just the power of media suggestion. The reason for their fame as a couple is that media elements on both sides of the Atlantic who are hostile to the British monarchy saw them as a weapon against it. They are now a spent force, as the brief period in which Meghan was associated with the Royal Family recedes further into the past, and she has nothing substantial to say except to continually rehash the same dubious stories of victimhood, all from a multi-million dollar mansion and to a much less well-off public who have real problems to deal with in the worsening economic situation.
I've been publicly defaming and undermining my family for years and still they show no willingness to reconcile! What is wrong with them?Harry and Meghan created this situation all on their own, too late to be sorry after going worldwide with this nonsense...I doubt he will be welcome back into his family until he is old and hopeful wiser...

'I would like to get my father and brother back': Harry says royals 'have shown no willingness to reconcile' and want to keep him and Meghan as the 'villains' in publicity blitz before memoir release
The Duke of Sussex has sat down with broadcasters Tom Bradby in the UK and Anderson Cooper in the US - with trailers for each dropping today. Speaking to Bradby in a clip where no questions are heard, Harry says 'It never needed to be this way' and refers to 'the leaking and the planting' before adding 'I want a family, not an institution'. He also says 'they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains' and that 'they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile', although it is unclear who he refers to.
