The documentary was breezy and touched on the surface, yes, but I wouldn't describe it as awful. It's really just a compilation of what has happened since the wedding, with talking heads giving their opinions, with some observations frivolous and silly. We see lots of clips of the wedding and many of the public events since then. I don't think it's awful though. I think it's about what we'd expect by media outlets (particularly in America) who don't actually know what's happening behind palace walls. The documentary in some ways is just an extension of the types of conversations we have on TRF: lots of speculation and pronouncements based mostly on gossip or what's been reported, much of which is unconfirmed and in some cases completely inaccurate.
It almost seems like a lot of the royal commentators peruse TRF for some of their talking points. ? I take the documentary for what it is, and I found it cheesily engaging in some ways, and annoying in other ways. Of course there's not a lot of depth, but there are some interesting comments, many that we've seen here on TRF. So it does provide some food for thought in a way. The fact is, they don't know what Meghan's real life is like now. They can't get an interview. So in surface respects, they talk about Meghan in relation to Harry, to Kate, to Diana, to the royal firm, to the Queen, to the institution and royal traditions, to the expectant baby, and to the goals and projects Meghan is planning.
One glaring inaccuracy: ABC didn't get the memo apparently that the Sussexes are not automatically going to be moving into Apartment 1, which is the long time family home of the Gloucesters. Of course the documentary is for ratings, and ABC did not do in-depth homework. One thing in particular I enjoyed hearing confirmed by Omid Scobie in the documentary is that Meghan writes her own speeches, which I suspected.

Anyway, I found the documentary breezy and fun. I take it with a grain of salt...
