With Love, Meghan season two review  so painfully contrived that it's genuinely fascinating
"I like recipes that take, like, four hours. I don't do fast recipes at all. I like to braise. Wow, that is so fascinating. Is it though? Is it? Netflix is clearly gambling that it is. The second series of With Love, Meghan is with us, albeit alongside the news that the Sussexes' new deal with the streaming platform is not another $100m (74m), five-year extravaganza, but a rather less spectacular first-look agreement that gives Netflix first refusal on any shows the couple create."
"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy fashion expert Tan France puts fresh bread in the toaster before making french toast to make it more absorbent. That's so good for people to know! says Meghan. Is it though? Is it? Such questions well, slight variations on that one question abound as we return to see what Meghan is cooking up/assembling from fruit, flowers, twine and name tags in a stranger's kitchen in Montecito."
"I may even voluntarily watch a lifestyle show by her Chrissy Teigen in With Love, Meghan. Photograph: Jake Rosenberg/Netflix/PA The high point is probably Chrissy Teigen model, mom, author and braising fan, with whom Meghan once worked as a briefcase holder on Deal Or No Deal and an almost thrillingly insultingly brief appearance by her music mogul husband, John Legend."
Meghan appears in a second series of With Love, Meghan on Netflix that combines cooking, homecrafts and celebrity interactions. The Sussexes' new arrangement with Netflix is a first-look agreement granting Netflix first refusal on their projects rather than another $100m five-year contract. Guests include Tan France, who offers a french toast tip involving toasting bread first, and Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, who reminisce about working on Deal Or No Deal. Scenes show Meghan assembling fruit, flowers, twine and name tags in a stranger's kitchen in Montecito, serving lavender-grey lattes, fruit platters and talking about braising.
