Controversial new series knocks Wednesday off Netflix's number one spot

A new series has finally knocked Tim Burton's Wednesday off the top spot on Netflix's charts - and the best is yet to come.

The synopsis for the show reads: "In an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story.

“Across six episodes, the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.

"With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family's relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple's love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other."

In the first three episodes, which were added to Netflix on 8 December, the couple opened up about how they first met and fell for one another, who Meghan was before she met the prince, and how they struggled to cope with the British media's treatment of them once their relationship was made public.

There are three more episodes due to hit Netflix on 15 December and, if the teaser trailer released today (12 December) is anything to go by, they'll be sure to keep Harry & Meghan at the top of the charts for at least the rest of the week.

In the trailer for the second volume, Harry and Meghan will get into their conflicts with the Royal Family, accusing them of 'actively recruiting people to spread misinformation' about them while Meghan was 'fed to the wolves'.

Harry tells cameras: "They were happy to lie to protect my brother, they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us."

It sounds like this series will have enough drama to keep them at the top of the charts for quite a while.

The second volume of Harry & Meghan drops on Netflix on 15 December.
