And just when I thought they could not sink any lower, bloody shameful!

Okay, so I thoroughly enjoyed the first instalment of Lifetime's Harry and Meghan series. Though heavily fictionalised and taking massive creative liberties, it was still a good film for what it was. Good cast and a reasonable script. The second one? Okay, but a step down from the original.

The third one - Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace? The three stars I gave it is probably more than it deserves.

Nauseatingly bad, and that's probably the nicest phrase I can use on IMDB to describe a film this bad. I mean, come on, the guy playing Harry barely looks like the spare prince, the dialogue is cringey in pretty much every scene - you can tell the script was written by an American, as there are many examples of cliched British term ons scattered throughout - situation various characters are put into aren't even remotely likely or believable, and I wanted to give up halfway through. I didn't. But I should have. Hoping that 'Escaping the Palace' would get better, I hung on. Wish I hadn't. So, so bad. I hope Lifetime put this franchise to bed now.

No better, no worse than all the other Lifetime Harry & Meghan dime store epics. Embarrassing dialogue and unintentionally comical situations with high school dramatics. The villains might as well have the word "villain" tattooed on their foreheads as they set out to ruin the innocent and unsuspecting title couple. Groan.
