What critics are saying about the Melania, The Series trailer
Amazon MGM Studios announced “Melania, The Series” on November 6. The two-part project serves as a follow-up to “Melania, The Film,” which was released earlier this year.

Please tell me it is she is not that tone deaf.” Another commented, “We just got demolished in the midterms. How can we get American voters back on our side? How about a TV show about the most useless First Lady of all time?” A third added, “Jesus Christ lady, read the room. Nobody wants this right now.”
Additional comments targeted the series itself, with some users expressing little interest in watching it. Others compared it to “Melania, The Film,” which received a 9% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 64 reviews. Tomatoes. One commenter later wrote, “Would not watch if someone paid me” in response to Melania’s promotional post.
The series is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on November 20. Despite the online criticism, Amazon is positioning the project as a closer look at the first lady’s personal life and experiences during Donald Trump’s presidency.
