The TimesCarol MidgleyDec 15, 2022
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: In the end – what are we left with? Exactly the same story we always knew, told in the way we would expect to hear it from the people who are telling it. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanDec 9, 2022
Season 1 Review: It is unsurprising that the portrait ends up a flattering one, sympathetic to their trials and scrupulously respectful of their perspectives. What it does not turn out to be is essential. Read full review

IndieWireBen TraversDec 9, 2022
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. Read full review

SlateNadira GoffeDec 19, 2022
Season 1 Review: There’s little new juicy drama and few shocking reveals. ... What the series does offer, instead, are some underdeveloped attempts at historical racial analysis. ... But the sociohistorical analysis, judged on its own merits, feels lacking. Read full review

The IndependentJessie ThompsonDec 15, 2022
Season 1.5 Review: An almost unendurable three additional hours of grudge-rehashing gives very little further insight into why the pair remain so furious at the Royal Family. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There was nothing “bombshell” or even very new here. It was beautifully shot but it was repetitive, whingy and boring. Read full review

VarietyDaniel D'AddarioDec 9, 2022
Season 1 Review: As with the most recent, painfully dull season of “The Crown,” there seems a sort of narrative stuckness, an inability or lack of desire to find the next thing to say that we haven’t yet heard. Read full review
