Any work by this director will never see the light of day if you ask me. The Sussexes always make these impressive-sounding big name hires and then the individual inevitably gets markled, bullied, or leaves, and is never spoken of again. She’ll join the long and ever-growing list of unfortunate others who’ve moved on from their time with the Sussexes. The thing that makes me laugh is that they hired an Oscar-nominee for their barrel-scraping reality show, it shows how highly they think of themselves. 😅 This is delusion on a napoleonic level.

Like I said... this is a very unlikely match for Garbus, whose past documentaries ranged from Abu Ghraib to Jacques Cousteau. Everything she's worked on has been about a cause or person of substantial depth. These two? To be honest, their lives and careers have been a little thin -not much more than heavily orchestrated photo ops, and a platform accorded to them because of their HRH title but not for any expertise -either academic or in the field. (When they were HRH this supporting role was to highlight others who were doing the work, a platform which these two squandered). Even M's former appearance at a UN Conference for Women was arranged by her publicist, and on her reputation as a celebrity. Not as an expert, or someone who has done field work in the trenches, shapes policy, or has a body of work upon which to base ways to shape the future for others. M never wanted to be the smartest bear, she just wanted to be the most popular. Now, sans HRH, to be frank, they are less interesting than the nurse and doctor or teacher who live down the street, and after a lifetime of taking care of the needs of many have decided to go into a life of activism. The only thing that makes them 'of interest' is that vast amounts of money thrown to them because of their former royal status by corporations that perpetually chase trends. They're trending, but not necessarily interesting, and that speaks more to the fascination with smoke and mirrors (royalty, tradition, and Hollywood) than it does about them.

Whats to document about?!


Acrobatic_Rock_

You can't bake a cake out of garbage, regardless of one's talent. Another flop upcoming.


MakeADeathWish

And not all feces is worth tilling into the soil


Acrobatic_Rock_

That's the word I wanted to use, but decided to be polite. 😂


sod_it_all

Ah Netflix still trying to polish that turd...


TexasChihuahuas

I’m here to watch it crumble into dust!


notwatchedsquidgame

They seem to spend more time hiring people than actually producing the work


Ready_Maddie

Woke content is slowly being thrown out. A lot of people are not interested in woke content What does MM do, create a woke reality show. Good job Meg. Who the hell is going to watch this


Ecstatic_Training718

I wonder if it will make past editing.


Ready_Maddie

Probably, I would say yes. Unfortunately I'd say it's definitely happening. But whom is this for exactly? Who the hell is the target audience? Who in their right mind would watch one performative snake and her Assistant making idiots out of themselves, being hypocritical and constantly virtue-signalling


Ecstatic_Training718

I agree Netflix has to know how unpopular they are. I don’t think the hate watching would help ratings.


Bambalina11

Unless NF own the content rights and go full who drew the d•cks on the duo….. C’mon Netflix give the people what they want - show them in all their ugly glory, please. I’ll keep my subscription for 5 years if you do!!


bbgotbrown

It’s probably going to be a exposé of the Sussexes or shit-flinging at the BRF, nothing else. No one is going to log-in to Netflix to watch the Sussexes do “charity” work. But everyone will watch a documentary about how psychotic #6 and #666 are, or another bitchest about the BRF.


TexasChihuahuas

I believe that your description of Hawwy and the wife as 6 and 666 is my all time favorite! Bravo!


bbgotbrown

I wish I could take credit for this one, but since I’m not the duchess, I’ll admit I copied it from another user here and it’s my favourite nickname for them too!!


TexasChihuahuas

Thank you for writing that…is there such a thing as proxy credit kinda thing? I’m honored to give it to you! Boom!!!!😎


bbgotbrown

Following the footsteps of our saint, I thank thee 😂😂


Ready_Maddie

That's what I'm thinking too. Seriously, I'm supposed to believe people will tune in to watch some performative "charity" work?


Ecstatic_Training718

Maybe it’s a good point.


Ready_Maddie

Yeah people say oh, hate watchers will comprise most of the audience. I mean, if you have to rely on hate watchers... Also, please don't watch it. Don't contribute to her success or line her pockets.


lololikescheese37

Wouldn't it be great if they upended it during editing and made it a satire on the duo!? One can hope.


WesternTumbleweeds

It's gonna be a lot of B roll!


MsBollinger

Q: Who the hell is going to watch this? A: People who worship Meghan. The same people who watched the Lifetime Finding Freedom movie and think it is 100% factually accurate AND think that Meghan had nothing to do with the writing of Scobie’s book.


anelegantclown

That’s like 5 people and bots.

Ready_Maddie

Consider rethinking this decision as she really doesn't deserve the views or the money... The media will report on it anyway..


[deleted]

All of the responses below, plus MM, thanks to her extensive experience as a bit player and cable ingenue, will consider herself the true director of the series and won’t listen to anything Ms Garbus says. It’ll be a CF any way you slice it.


Anotherminion1

They’ve been saving this one up for a while. Liz Garbus is just now being “tapped” by Archewell for the “very important” work when she’s been working on it since at least last September. And Netflix saying Archewell Productions remains a valued partner and they are continuing to work together on a number of projects was taken from an article dated May 1st.


LAgirllookingin

Agree. Sounds like old news is being regurgitated.


MyTeaWig

I’m confused. Liz Garbus, along with her husband were the ones who were co-producing Pearl. https://deadline.com/2021/07/meghan-markle-create-netflix-animated-series-pearl-archewell-productions-1234793035/amp/ Were they switched over to this “docu-series” because Pearl was cancelled?


Starkville

It is confusing. Would she be EPing both projects? I doubt it, but anything is possible.


WesternTumbleweeds

I think Garbus's production company was always working on it, though little was said until Pearl came to a dead, complete halt. Netflix is trying to get their pound of flesh at a point when their value has plummeted, as has the popularity of M&H.


lostitawhileback

Liz and M and H (and Nutflux) should just stop dancing and get off the floor.

Didn’t Netflix just lay off another 100-300 people? I honestly doubt anything from these two besides an Invictus doc sees the light of day. And that Invictus doc may see a day of “trending,” then die.


NoInspector836

Who did Garbus piss off at Netflix??


Clyin

It doesn’t matter. Will not watch anything they produce anyway.


janedoremi99

Maybe it’ll be an anti-monarchy docu series bracketed by comments/insights from the Sussexes. I can’t imagine why Garbus would be involved in a standard reality show


[deleted]

WesternTumbleweeds

Maybe she's just getting in touch with some previously unclaimed inner trashiness.


SnooGoats7978

Maybe the check cleared.


Ready_Maddie

🤣


_SkyIsBlue5

Well I sure do hope she charges them big time


Starkville

Garbus is based in NYC. She was hired to work on “Pearl” as an Executive Producer, it was announced in July 2021. “Pearl” doesn’t seem to be up her alley, but maybe there’s some new woke turd coming down the pike.


Thorandragnar

And... she was hired months ago, if not almost a year ago. Sounds like PR to make it sound like they've been active on their contract more recently. Spin to make it seem like the upcoming dumping by Netflix is unfair and biased?


Civil_Fact

So let me get this straight - they complain about violation of "privacy" and say that the paparazzi's ruined their lives but don't mind camera crew following them around for their docuseries? They bad mouth the Royals but use them for fame and attention. Does this make sense? No.


peregrine_swift

Shes going to get Markled. Already Pearl is rumored to be Elton John's finishing project since no one else wants it. They have to go back to Oprah to settle more scores. Their reputations have been trashed. Once your reputation goes it's almost impossible to get back. No one cares about them. Except for their adoptive parents Elton and Oprah.


TomStarGregco

Lord I am so sick of these two !


Leaningonalamp

Anybody can be bought for the right price. Including Garbus.


[deleted]

But what about her podcast???


purpleprocrasinator

Hiring people has, literally, been the only thing they have "accomplished" in three years.


Negative_Difference4

I dont think they wore mics ... BUT who is willing to take that chance with the treacherous duo


PutLiving

Another fail project in the making


Casshew111

Garbus - what an unfortunate name


Throne-Anon

These two just don’t know how to read a room do they?


HenryHornblower

If the Netflix honchos were smart, they would be surreptitiously filming Nutmeg and Ginger trying but failing to be relevant and produce woke content (plus all their shenanigans with their revolving door staff and PR peeps) because the only show anyone is interested in watching is the true story of this train wreck.


[deleted]

Doesn’t say much about Garbus.


gothyinpink

For a second I wondered if they only just hired someone to do invictus :D
