Meghan Markle has recently launched her new cooking show, “Table Talk,” which promises to bring viewers interesting experiences from cooking to interacting with stars. However, the start of this show has not been as smooth as expected. Right from the first minutes, “Table Talk” has caused a wave of strong criticism from the public and critics. This is the story of a bumpy start and unexpected reactions surrounding Meghan Markle’s show.
“Table Talk” – A Promising Cooking Show
On the surface, “Table Talk” seems like an attractive idea: Meghan Markle and famous guests make special dishes, from choosing ingredients at the farmer’s market to cooking tips in the kitchen, and finally enjoying the finished dishes. With the support of the stars, the show seems to bring an interesting look into Meghan’s life and her love of cooking.
However, the public and critical response to the first episode was not very positive. Immediately, criticism and ridicule appeared on social media, and the show became the focus of satirical comments.
In the first episode, Meghan Markle and actress Melissa McCarthy made her famous chicken thighs. However, the dish had a major problem: the chicken pieces were still pink when they were served. Although Meghan may have felt proud of her recipe, the undercooked chicken caused Melissa McCarthy to reluctantly eat it, while constantly glancing at Meghan with sympathy.
However, the failure did not stop with the chicken. Meghan also had difficulty when trying to make butter cookies from scratch. Although the recipe seemed simple enough, the dough turned into a mess that could not be shaped into cookies. After many attempts, Meghan had to admit failure in making cookies, and the guests, despite being polite, still had to eat the unsatisfactory pieces.
Since the first episode aired, the show has faced a wave of criticism. One of the main criticisms was Meghan’s hosting skills. Many people said that she tried too hard to be charming and approachable, often touching the guests’ hands and laughing loudly at every sentence they said. Many people said that Meghan failed to create a natural and comfortable atmosphere, but instead, everything seemed forced and unreal.
On the popular animated show “South Park”, the characters made fun of Meghan’s show. In their signature style, they highlighted every awkward moment from undercooked chicken to Meghan’s fake laughter. Randy Marsh, one of the show’s main characters, imitated Meghan’s voice and baking style in a humorous and amusing way.
The criticism has not only reached the public, but has also spread to late-night television. Celebrity hosts Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert have not missed the opportunity to poke fun at Meghan’s show. Jimmy Fallon even invited celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to comment on Meghan’s questionable cooking techniques, further inflaming the situation.
Melissa McCarthy, a guest on the first episode, has not escaped the storm of criticism either. Many have suggested that she joined the show just to get attention from Netflix and build connections in the Hollywood industry. These comments have made it difficult for McCarthy to defend her decision to join the show.
Even the royal family has not been immune to criticism regarding the show. Reports say that Prince William laughed off the comment that even he could cook a better meal. Meanwhile, Prince Charles reportedly mumbled what was wrong with Meghan when he saw her unnatural laughter.
In short, the launch of Meghan Markle’s cooking show has not been as successful as expected. From failed recipes to unpopular hosting skills, “Table Talk” has been struggling from the start. However, it is also a lesson in the importance of preparing and refining your skills before entering a new field.
With criticism mounting and negative reactions from many sides, the future of “Table Talk” on Netflix is in question. Whether the show will be renewed for another season remains an open question. In the meantime, perhaps Meghan Markle should reconsider her approach and continue to hone her skills if she is too
