Polo

Having played polo for approximately 20 years of my adult life between the ages of 25 and 45, I must say that the series completely misses the point. Who cares about a one goal player named Louis who has a bad track record with relationships or an overly aggressive father pushing his son so hard that all joy of a magnificent sport is lost? The interpersonal relationships between players is mildly interesting, but the actual dynamics of a team, it's horses, and it's strategy seemed to have been completely glossed over in this series. Bill Clinton might have repeated James Carville's line, "it's about the economy, stupid". But someone seems to have forgotten that with Polo, it's about the horses, stupid.

A dull and tedious documentary. This show does not reflect well on the participants. Male dominated throughout. Women are appendages who stand, watch , look pretty and smile. I would have liked more on the history of the sport, the welfare and training of the horses. How are they bred ? Perhaps a smidge of bonding between rider and Pony. Is it purely for the 0.1%? Have people from under privilege backgrounds been afforded opportunities to mix with the sport or is it simply the black Amex club? Production was underdeveloped. I'm just confused as to why this idea was green lit. Surely netflix had much more viable options. Hard to get through the episodes.

For two people who claim they care about animal rights, to promote a sport which severely damages the health of these wonderful animals is objectionable. There is nothing glamorous about it. It is a rich elitist sport which abuses animals. The damage to Polo ponies is well documented now so you cannot bury your head in the sand.

The series really does descend into a tacky 'Real Housewives' show. It's a shame that there are no female Polo players shown.

I'd urge people not to watch it, it's self promotion at its best with no thoughts as to the ethics of this sport. It's time we thought a lot more about the purpose of the shows we are making/watching. Our entertainment is not more important than the wellbeing of these animals.

Another disaster from Harry and Megan, the couple who begged for anonymity and freedom from public gaze, torment us with another slice of pomp and sheer irrelevance.

We're in a world where people are literally deciding whether to heat or eat, these two think it's the right time to put our a documentary about filthy rich people, devoid of knowing what it is to live in the real world.

Who is this going to appeal to, all I can suggest, if you're having trouble sleeping, pop this on, it is truly the most boring and pretentious thing you will ever see, it is painful from start to fish, you'll not be able to binge watch it.

We're told that the players and adoring fans are beautiful people, I'd question that, all I saw were an elite of hollow people, who all probably went home to enormous mansions, with not a care in the world.

Netflix, please do us all a massive favour, enough with these two now, it's becoming hugely embarrassing, surely they must be costing your business a fortune.

A contender for worst show of 2024, it's abysmal.

1/10.

Why on earth would Netflix support the filming of, and then actually air this documentary? Tedious. Boring. Totally unrelatable for anyone who doesn't have a spare few million in the bank. Pretentious and cold hearted. The disrespectful and cruel way in which horses are treated appears to be unregulated...Why? Elitism at its worst. I had high hopes and really wanted Prince Harry to show the world what he's made of... sadly he did but not in a positive way. I'd rather sit and watch paint dry to be honest... it would be of more use! I'm sorry but Meghan and Harry have proven that they are out of touch with the real world and have sadly shown the world that actually their 'creative ideas' aren't of any importance, interest or relevance to most people who live in it.
