Sounds like perfect escapism to me. Honestly? I think I need more of that kind of over-the-top goodness when it feels like the world is falling apart. I might not make candles, but maybe I’ll bring biccies or something for a friend who’s having surgery soon. If we all tried to be kind and spread love to our neighbours and friends, the world would be better. Even if those biccies are store-bought.
I thought I would hate it and the lack of depth/ what is the point of this. but surprisingly found it very relaxing and pretty and a nice antidote to the news and stress of the world haha
I love her. I really do. I’m happy that Harry and the children are happy and living a lovely life. They were SO right to escape the appalling bullshit. I mean every single word. But…
This programme is genuinely terrible. I watched two and it physically hurt. It was a terrible decision and someone should have said something.
She’s extremely bright and clearly very talented. I want her to do something splendid. This isn’t it.
I read something interesting today: essentially, why does anyone *care* what the programme is like? Why did the Guardian - THE GUARDIAN - have umpteen thinkpieces and reviews? (The Mail, I understand. It’s their vile bread and butter. But the Graun, I ask you?)
And this is absolutely correct. Why do we care?
I think my niggle is simply that it’s so… nothingy. It upsets me that she feels she has to tread carefully. I want her to be properly outspoken and fierce, tackling big, difficult subjects in depth. She can do this.
There’s no going back. They’ll never be accepted back into the fold. For good or ill, that ship has sailed. They are free. She is free. Do something with it. She really should.
This is hilarious Clare. I just binged the series and have to say your recap is spot on (the sleep over that never ends with the bossy friend LOL). Thanks for the laugh!
I have absolutely no intention of watching this show because I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction but if you wish to do a recap of every episode, I am here for it, loved reading that!

Very true!
This is EXACTLY what it was for me “perfect escapism “ in a world that’s full of hatred and violence It was refreshing to watch ..

Beautifully written Clare - so funny! I couldn’t bring myself to watch the show and now I don’t have to
Heh I love this take. I watched the first ep and it
definitely doesn’t ask hard-hitting questions. It’s banal background pleasantry and I oddly sorta like it. No drama.
This is spot on! Ps. Stop being a lazy gewl and set up a paid subscription, people (like me) would pay to read your brilliant and original work xox

Could not agree more. I wanted to love it!!!
Yes, I loved the calmness of it but you’re right, Meghan could do more than this. She is bright and talented.

But if they’re really your friend, you would know if they had food allergies, seasonal allergies, or gluten intolerance. Right? No?
Correct!
Friends don’t make friends make candles.

Thank you!
Love! Can’t wait to read more from you, Clare. Yay you!
Love your work Clare! Keep them coming 😁
I have so much time for this article and I’m also worried about Daniel

All true comments Clare, but I simply can’t get enough of it, bring on season 2 🥳
Your writing is so funny and sharp and it’s great to be able to hear your thoughts on rich people’s hobbies 😅
I loved the show but this post was funny as hell! 😂
