Season 1.5 Review:
Nearly every element has been reported on ad nauseam, from the meetings surrounding their departure, to her miscarriage, to the lawsuit against the Daily Mail. But the series still lands a punch because there are so many unlikely twists, with palace officials leaking information to scupper their plans, horrendous death threats, social media frenzies and the truly surreal role Tyler Perry played in their rescue.

Season 1.5 Review:
Harry & Meghan, more than a piece of entertainment — and it is, as a whole, very entertaining — is an act of self-preservation for the couple, of committing their own story to public record, knowing full well that the palace will not (or cannot) respond. Is it vengeful? A little, but given the strife Harry has been through, it's impossible not to sympathise with his want to speak his own truth.

Season 1 Review:
Live[s] up to its no-holds-barred expectations. ... There's plenty of dynamite stuff to give the Sussexes' detractors something to spew over. At points, it's hard to tell if the couple are naïve or disingenuous. ... But, at times, I find the couple endearing; at others, deeply sympathetic.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a few things all at once: an enraging tale of racism, a fascinating look into a profoundly rarefied way of life, and a sometimes too self-celebratory vanity project that, for the most part, reiterates what we already know. ... The [battle between conformity and individuality] has been told many times before — from the days of King Edward’s abdication in order to marry a divorcee, to the split between Charles and Diana — but it’s one that nonetheless resonates.

Season 1.5 Review:
They really were under siege. They really did fear for their safety. You get a window into Meghan’s can-do approach venturing into this new life: If you make the effort, there’s a good chance things will work out. But things were never going to work out here. ... But the docuseries is also vague about so much. What role did Garbus, the director, play in terms of the project’s content? What were the parameters she was working under?

Season 1 Review:
A sharper editor might have encourage the trimming of previously reported information that ultimately isn’t relevant to what appears to be the broader goal: Assessing the system itself. The series doesn’t fully solve this dilemma, of servicing the intentions of its two primary subjects, while also telling a larger story about the intertwined interests of the monarchy and tabloid media, all of it shaped and informed by xenophobia and racism.

Season 1.5 Review:
Just watch the last two. ... When Harry and Meghan aren’t preening and whingeing and documenting their private pain in staged, arty black-and-white stills photography they give a persuasive account of how they felt attacked and bullied by sections of the media and certain palace aides.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a diary entry. Diary entries can be helpful when they provide untold insights into their subjects, but “Harry & Meghan” is merely a long, redundant recap of two very public lives. And absent any challenging questions from outside the couple’s tidy little love bubble, it’s a dull one at that.
