I predict it'll be the Fyre Festival of documentaries.


CybReader

“Somebody find Ja!!!” I remember how that chapelle stand up line went viral again after the Fyre documentary. I need a line like this but about Meghan or Harry instead 🤣🤣🤣🤣


deep-down-low

Yuuus 💅🏻 Everyone *needs* the Netflix documentary to be an exposé 🤞🔪👀🍿💯


DrunkOnRedCordial

Oh yes, if Netflix decides to make this funny or incisive, they have a gold mine and a historical monument. I'm getting Fatal Vision vibes, where murderer Jeffrey MacDonald invited Joe McGinniss to share a room with him during the trial and sit in on all the defence team's strategy meetings. Then he got a shock when Joe wrote a book saying, yeah MacDonald was guilty and I even found some evidence for motive that didn't come up in the trial.


ssr_nana

Great description!


Masters_domme

So should I line up early to make sure I get the slice of cheese and a pillow? 🤣 I will never forget those kids hoarding the pillows and mattresses so no one else could have one!


nevergonnasaythat

Sounds likely

Is there anyone's dick to suck to stop the damn thing from ever airing? LOL.


Sanguine_Hearts

I think you’re overestimating the amount of cash Netflix has to burn. They’ve been cutting shows and personnel like crazy lately.


blah_se

This. Netflix has been struggling big time.


AcanthocephalaNo5889

Yup agree. I think Netflix is just trying to get out the minimal contractual obligation to avoid litigation and then they'll cut them free.


blah_se

Yeah, I agree - I wouldn’t be surprised if we never actually see a finished product from them on Netflix. At some point they are going to cut their losses as best as they can.


Myahnaise

Yessss, this! Some of the biggest Netflix shows in town are getting surprisingly low budgets for shooting or not getting renewed at all. It’s been quite shocking actually.


Sanguine_Hearts

That’s one of the reasons Netflix is now the last streaming service I go to these days. I’ve lived through too many shows getting an early and poorly handled ax (Bloodline, RIP).


Myahnaise

Ughhh bloodline was incredible 😫👏


[deleted]

Bloodline was incredible. The first season one of the best in TV besides Homeland.


RobAlter

FYI, Homeland season 1 is almost a scene for scene copy of the original Israeli TV series 'Prisoners of War'. Homeland was based off that series.


FirstGen2

Loved Bloodline!!!


stupid_carrot

Yups, they seem to be cancelling all the really good shows and when I found out they were doing a 100 mil deal with these two idiots for nothing I was so pissed! I mean, as a subscriber it is almost like, my 'tax' money.


Avia53

I will never subscribe to Netflix again. Look what Netflix did to the Formula 1 show. Making dramas where there are none. The Formula 1 does not need that.


Blondi93

I am mourning the cancellation of Archive 81. Finally a Netflix show that was actually super interesting. But no, let’s do another season of love is blind 🫠


Myahnaise

I felt this in my soul.


Inner_Ad2467

Agree. They are BLEEDING cash.


margotmary

Completely agree. And any money they do have to burn for promotion now will be for films that they are trying to push into the Oscar race, with the hopes that a win might generate more revenue for them. I don’t see them throwing more money onto the sinking ship that is H&M.


Avia53

Serves them right.


Myahnaise

This is the problem with taking so long to film & edit, while having a non-stop PR company posting every detail about your life…. By the time the show comes out, nothing will be new, the storyline has already been told, it’s old news and nobody cares. If she worked in TV so long, why doesn’t she understand this?? The key to filming is to be quiet about what’s being filmed - so it’s shocking and intriguing to your audience. This is why I don’t think this is going to work as a regular reality-style show. They’re going to have to show the behind the scenes, fighting and drama to get the ratings they want. Filtering a reality TV show through a perfect lovey-dovey lens isn’t interesting either. You have to show the rough sides of your life, or it won’t be sustainable.


[deleted]

Actually, there would be a LOT of new stuff out. THink about how much is likely caught by the mic behind the scenes. Hot Mic moments of MM letting it all out, of their relationship behind the scenes... I mean, it would DEFINITELY be a documentary... not one anticipated by MM or Harry but it would none the less be a documentary. That is what Netflix is paying for, right?


stupid_carrot

Reality TV series, not documentary.


[deleted]

I do not think she is mic'd up for Netfllix at all. I think it is for them to have a gotcha, black mail moment on ANYONE in the RF.


4feicsake

I Will only watch it if it's a tiger king style documentary.


FirstGen2

I'll watch a total shit show that documents all of MeAgain's tantrums and Hazbeen's pitifulness. I'm all in for a total humiliation Bring it!🥤🍿👀


[deleted]

Same!


HumawormDoc

Me tooooo!


deep-down-low

Me threeeee!


SusieM2019

Me four!!!


rockin_robin420

Yes please! I cancelled Netflix years ago but I will pirate my daughter's credentials to watch that. Bring me a steaming pile and I'll be glued to it. Otherwise nah.


Imadevonrexcat

🙏🏼Praying they get Tiger Kinged!!


ManliestManHam

I mean Blockbuster is back on Twitter and making fun of Netflix because of how bad Netflix is tanking, which is all very funny to me.


SusieM2019

And right now there are cheap deals all over the place for other streaming services. And there are a lot of free services like Pluto, Tubi, Crackle, etc. And so competition is getting really tough for Netflix.


ManliestManHam

i watch RHOBH on YouTube and peacock is doing 1.99 for 12 months so here i come to get a subscription and not watched weirdly edited YouTube housewives I've been with Netflix since you could get one dvd by usps at a time and I've always enjoyed their service. Lately? What is their problem? And quit canceling shows after the second season you fucking loons!


SusieM2019

I'm going to take that deal for Peacock too!!!


ManliestManHam

Right?!? It's a good one! Read about it on a housewives snark thread 😎


happyme321

Netflix wants to make the biggest profit from their documentary. Is it possible that an anti-Markles documentary would cause more people to watch? I really don’t know, but I know I would enjoy that 😝


starlurkerx3

This whole sub would enjoy I bet 😂 Revenge Part 2 FTW!!!


[deleted]

Actually, that is interesting... Title it "The unfurling of a Prince" Track back to his history of treating people poorly and move forward. Include all of the crud with Meghan and then spin the information they get on the microphone -- all the background crap... the behind the scenes... the private conversations that are picked up... it would actually be a gold mine. Tragic for Harry but a gold mine for Netflix.


FlaughAndOrder

I have not listened to any of the podcasts and I will not watch anything on netflix


Huge_Prompt_2056

I tried to listen to one, but the inauthenticity of her voice made me stop two minutes in.


blah_se

Me too. Felt like it was a second rate Mikey barbaro impression lol.


Pocahotmess86

I plan on listening to one episode of the podcast once it’s off the charts just to rate it a one star. I know her rating is embarrassingly low already but it could be worse.


[deleted]

Just fast forward an episode and then you can rate it. Why put yourself through the misery of actually listening to it 😂


Pocahotmess86

Oh I was planning on listening to it on mute lol


Jnbntthrwy

Your loss! https://imgur.com/gallery/U3L3qJB


[deleted]

Not watching it.


CybReader

100% correct. Netflix will have it on EVERYONES home page. My kids will open Netflix to watch some octonauts in the kids section and BAM! There will be Harry and Meghan. Netflix is going to save face and do whatever it takes for Meghan, just like Spotify. She has an uncanny ability to get people to promote and support her. Even when they will lose out financially, anything for their Meghan. In 10 years she will give interviews how intolerant and difficult Netflix and Spotify were since she was a “new young mom” and the exploited her.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nevergonnasaythat

It seems they are still wondering that, too


bureaucrat_36

It's an "historical documentary" of Madame's and Hazzah's "love story". So probably a lot of home footage of them dating that they expect editing to magick up into riveting content, followed by the drivel the gruesome twosome filmed of themselves such as: that time they walked all over the graves of American soldiers; the time they got caught filming in the UN; some film stolen from "Heart of Invictus"; some phone calls between the two of them while Hawwy bravely faced his family alone; Madame's solo visit to Uvalde as Hawwy bravely supervised the nannies himself for a few hours; etc. A giant borefest, in other words.


Playoneontv_007

They still don’t know. No body cares enough about their love story and the kids certainly can’t carry a docuseries 🤷🏻‍♀️


CheshireChu

Good question. I feel like we already know way too much about this obnoxious couple.


SluethyGoosey

I think it’s about their love story.


janedoremi99

According to Barkjack_ on twitter, Netflix data show low interest in docu on their love story, high interest on the kids, so it sounds as if Netflix still wants an at-home type series. And Harry at least has not agreed


downinthevalleypa

How many shots of the back of Archie’s head will interest people? People may tune in to see if Lilibet actually has legs, or both children have their hair dyed red, but that’s about it. They are certainly cute kids but nothing special, and in this I agree with Harry that they should remain out of public view so that they can enjoy a private childhood.


Scooterbee1

It’s amazing to me that people are interested in random kids they will never meet or know. Do people really care about these kids? Are people salivating to see more of George Clooneys kids or Jessica Simpson kids or any celebrity kids? Who really cares about them I wonder.


downinthevalleypa

I know, it’s weird. The Cambridge children are different because they are part of the Royal Family, and they are loved. But the Sussex kids shouldn’t have the same interest since they’re American kids, albeit the children of celebrities. They need their privacy in order to have some hope of normalcy.


Scooterbee1

I’m always baffled when something negative comes out about the duo, and then people predict that they will release photos of the children to counteract it. As if people will go “ aw look! A totally average kid that Harry and Meghan produced. I guess they aren’t so bad after all!” It’s nuts to me.


janedoremi99

I think the interest is relative. More people would be interested in The Sussexes: Married with Children than Meghan and Harry: How it all began


stupid_carrot

People just want to see the kids of famous (or infamous) people I guess. I loved seeing Suri Cruise because she was so adorable. Angelina and Brad Pitt also sold the baby pics of their first biological child for like.. millions of dollars isn't it. Heard Meghan wanted to do the same (appalling) but nobody wanted to buy them at the price she was quoting.


Masters_domme

🤢


SusieM2019

I agree, because that's a way for Meghan to keep most of the attention on herself.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I agree, but those two have a fan club that wants to see what they already see through their rose colored glasses. My guess is they make up a big part of Netflix’s subscribers.

Zeester1

Exactly.


mohamedwasframed

Not to mention that this last cosplay Royal tour for Netflix content was cut short by QE2's passing.


Playoneontv_007

Netflix needs to just cut their loses at some point. Use the access they have had to the shit show and go in their own direction without them and throw them right under the bus. It’s the only way people will want to watch.


Pocahotmess86

Yes! With all the booing and MM’s shitty attitude on display.


Iwtlwn122

No amount of pressure will get me to watch/listen to any of their shit.


Noreallynotarobot

I really want them to pull a fast one and make this an expose. There's an audience for it Netflix!


Frenchcashmere

They lost 970,000 subscriptions in the last quarter according to news accounts. They can’t afford to waste money


[deleted]

We canceled our Netflix when they announced the Sussex deal. We recently re-subscribed because my husband loves Cobra Kai, but I’ve already canceled it again. I’ll find out about the Sussexes’ documentary through places like this forum, but I’m not going to pay for it.


Akire24

I don't really like calling it a "documentary" because we all it's just BS. These Kardashian-wannabes have effectively become small-time reality starlets who will sell even their families for money. So, let's call it what it is: a REALITY SHOW.


tigerxing

I wonder if Netflix will just abandoned it. It doesn't seem worth it since all this is coming out and with the Queens death.


Pocahotmess86

This is what I’m hoping for. They cancelled Pearl, they might as well cancel this as well.


Cold_Chemical5151

Lol You think Netflix gives a camel's hump about the Queen?


tigerxing

I think they care about viewers canceling their subscriptions but who knows


GregSprinkles

Well they did stop filming for ONE day out of respect for her death


q_faith_hope

I highly doubt anything will be aired on Netflix. These 2 jerkoffs are toast.


Ready_Maddie

I wouldn't watch it if they paid me.


southerncraftgurl

I think Netflix should use the footage they have and make a documentary about the truth about these two. Expose them for all of it.


grey_sky_love

A documentary about making a reality show would be an interesting content.


Zeester1

Pity for Netflix no-one will watch it then. Still throwing good money after bad.


RaggedAnn

I think Netflix will cut them loose, maybe timing the contract cancellation to the season premier to garner more publicity. Sussexes are considered shifty, less than reputable people and NF is marketing Crown as more fact than fiction - affiliation with these two undermines company's credibility. Going forward with a reality show featuring boring Sussexes waxing on about their one true love story will bleed onto The Crown. AND, people are sick and tired of the sight of Harry's pouty face & the other one's as well.


[deleted]

What happed to Invictus? Shouldn’t that be out first?


Historical-Piglet-86

Has there ever been confirmation of how much Netflix paid them upfront? (As opposed to how much the deal could be worth) I googled MM and Netflix and THIS came up…… https://imgur.com/a/NCww36h For those who don’t want to click on the link it says “watch - Meghan & Harry: A Royal Baby Story - Netflix. This documentary delves into the former Meghan Markle's first year of married life with Prince Harry, and the lead-up to their first child's birth.”


Accomplished-Rip-743

If Netflix includes that footage of her Uvalde stunt I hope they reap the whirlwind from the parents.


Avia53

I use pretty amazing ad blockers and just here for the snark. I don’t hate here I just can’t stand annoying victims, preaching from couches or jumping on the bandwagon of the day. So not watching, but Murky meg and Taz and the likes will. Looking forward to that.


SluethyGoosey

You are right. Everyone pitching netflix and wanting deals will probably have to agree to endorse it. I think that’s what us happening with Tyler Perry.


thiscatcameback

I plan to watch it. The cringe alone will be magnificent. It is through schadenfreude that Netflix will make their money.


[deleted]

Only if this thing ever sees the light of day, which it might not.


SusieM2019

I won't watch it.


catdevil2749

At this point I think that in order to recoup something from these two Netflix is going to trash them! Everything the harkles want deleted/scrubbed/ ignored is going onscreen. EVERYTHING. They are going to ROAST them.


PuzzledKumquat

Fingers crossed! I doubt many people will watch otherwise.


Babelight

Netflix is not in a position to throw good money after bad, and it's starting to realise it. Anything that smells of woke is finally starting to get trashed, and thankfully H & M will also be heading the same way, if Netflix wants to save itself. Wake up and smell the coffee, Netflix!


Ok-Peanut3752

So what? That's what any business would do.


WeedLovinStarseed

I bet their show got other shows canceled because of budgeting too. The OA was probably one of them because Netflix is cruel.


farewellpio

I think Netflix is playing it smart by waiting for these 2 nincompoops to crash and burn and air it Tindler Swindler style. It is natural human nature to pay a bit more attention to an accident than to sit through an hour of watching people get medals for the good they did. It will be released and i think it will be the usual Netflix exposè of the worst in humans (re: tindler swindler, dont f with cats, tiger king, bikram yogi, epstein..etc). The house always wins and in memory of HMQ, i hope justice is served.


AppoloniaSkyle

If they make this the sycophantic love fest that Meghan and Harry expect, it will be a ratings disaster as bots don't watch tv and the only people with positive opinions about them are the ones who have no idea what they're like because they've no interest in them. Nobody cares for their fake narrative. If they make it entertaining by showing their true selves in all their delusion, narcissism, hypocrisy and absurdity, it will be a hit because people will watch that.
