A new show called Reality Royalty has not gone as well as The Crown has.
One project Prince Harry and the Royal Family took on after their departure from England and the Royal Family was to sign a deal with the streaming service.
The show slipped back under it after it was dethroned for the number one spot. The three hour premiere has been roasted by critics and fans alike, and what seemed like it could be a positive PR moment for Harry andMeghan seems to have backfired as the series seems to much like.
The critics gave the show a 50% score on the Tomatoes, below most other series. According to some of the critics, it features things that definitely do not add up.
The audience scored. Things are getting worse there. One of the lowest scores I have ever seen for a series on a streaming service is 12% on the Tomatoes.
Defenders of the Royal Family think that this is disrespectful to release a show so close to the death of the Queen. The couple is being lambasted by everyone else as being self-indulgent, whine, and so on.
The show isn't presenting a lot of new information, but it does retell old conflicts between Harry and the Royal Family, as well as between them and the British tabloid press, who have it out for them. The show feels like a very calculated PR campaign to present a specific narrative rather than a show that needed to exist because it's genuinely interesting in some
The persecution narrative being presented by the pair in the show is reinforced by the amount of hate they get from angry viewers.
The show is said to be the biggest documentary debut of all time on the streaming service. The show had more than 80 million viewing hours after it aired. The first part of the series was watched by more than 28 million households. The series will end on December 15 with three more episodes.
Good news? People are interested in seeing what the series is about. The idea of this whole project was to give them an audience to address their relationship and recent scandals in their own words, though I am reminded of those royal family interviews in the press over the decades which had varying boost or decline in how favorably people viewed them. It feels similar to the modern day version of that.
More reviews have come in and scores just keep dropping, with critic reviews down to 45% and audience scores remaining a dismal 12% with almost 3,500 reviews in now. There aren't enough defenders to fight thehaters if they are bombing the series.
If they wanted a large audience to listen to what they had to say, they got it. It is not known if this will help or hurt their public image.
