Doesn't really do any favours for Polo, people featured are rich, self important and ultimately boring, not relatable at all for the average viewer, I think it was aiming to make Polo appealing but for me it failed miserably, animal lovers are sure to be appalled at the seemingly harsh way the ponies are treated on the field. Admittedly the players are skilled and fit but I dont think the show really highlights this , instead trying to make the whole thing glamorous and slick, even my daughter who is a keen horse rider found it boring and repetitive, unless you're a real fan of Polo I would suggest giving it a miss, there are so many better shows to watch.
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.
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.
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.
An ambitious show about very rich people hobby. I am afraid, I couldn't find much of promised hope in the show, except maybe a hint "when you become as rich as these people you will be able to play polo, too". No doubt, polo can be rather attractive and entertaining, however it is very rare and popular in very limited community and social circle, you cannot compare it with much more democratic sports like cycling or football.
I have read about horse health problem in polo sport, and I wish this was discussed in the show. I wish I could see the polo players taking care about these beautiful animals, unfortunately I didn't.
Interestingly, the world mostly know about polo because of the royals playing it. But we see no Harry participating in polo. Instead I had to watch some unknown guys trying to speak English and explain the polo essence.
