The highly anticipated second season of NBC Night Court has made its grand entrance, and it did not disappoint.
Bringing back the beloved 80s show with a bang, the latest episode titled “A Night Court Before Christmas” took some shots at none other than Meghan Markle.
Let’s dive into the drama-packed spectacle that unfolded.
In this episode, Marsha Warfield reprised her role as Roz Russell, the no-nonsense babe from the original series.
However, she found herself on the other side of the law, arrested for trespassing and vandalism at a local plantation.
The reason behind her actions?
She claimed to be filming a documentary about her enslaved ancestors who once lived there.
But there’s a twist.
It turns out Roz was actually hired by a tabloid to spy on Meghan Markle, who was staying at the same plantation with Prince Harry and their children.
While Meghan didn’t make an on-screen appearance, the writers didn’t hold back in dragging her through the mud.
They portrayed her as a manipulative and selfish woman, exploiting her royal status for fame and fortune.
The episode took aim at various aspects of Meghan’s life, accusing her of lying about her family history, mental health, and relationship with the royal family.
The infamous Oprah interview became fodder for jokes, with Roz being silenced by the plantation owners, who allegedly restricted her from speaking to the media or using social media.
Amidst the courtroom drama, Dan, the trusty judge, questioned Roz about the evidence supporting her claims.
To everyone’s surprise, she fired back with emails, diary entries, and receipts, leaving no room for doubt.
She even claimed to have overheard a conversation between Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth II discussing the color of Archie’s skin and his potential royal title.
But the bombshell revelation didn’t end there.
The episode suggested that Meghan had a secret deal with Netflix to produce a documentary titled “The Crown, Meghan’s Story.”
This revelation left viewers shocked and intrigued.
Roz herself admitted feeling jealous of Meghan, who, in her eyes, seemed to have it all – a prince, a friend, and a platform.
So, what was the verdict?
Roz was found guilty of her charges, and Dan sentenced her to community service at the very same plantation.
As if that wasn’t enough, he also ordered her to write a letter of apology to Meghan and mandated that she watch all episodes of “The Crown” on Netflix.
A harsh punishment indeed.
As expected, reactions to this episode were divided.
Some viewers found it hilarious, while others deemed it offensive and disrespectful.
Meanwhile, fans of the original Night Court rejoiced at seeing Marsha Warfield back on the screen, praising her comedic timing and chemistry with John Larroquette.
On the flip side, Meghan and supporters of the royal family were outraged, accusing the show of bullying and spreading misinformation.
In response, the show’s creators, Melissa Rauch and Winston Rauch, defended their creation, claiming it was intended as satire rather than a personal attack on Meghan.
They cited inspiration from a subreddit where users mock and criticize Meghan’s actions and statements.
With Night Court taking on the royal family drama head-on, many wonder how Meghan will respond.
Will she clap back?
Will this episode make her reconsider her Netflix deal?
