Polo

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.

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.

As someone who followed Polo in England most of my life I was looking forward to this series.

But how on earth could Netflix make such an exciting and interesting sport so tedious and so boring?

The characters were superficial and self-obsessed. Despite the fact that many polo players are great company and fun to be around, Netflix managed to find not even one likeable character. It was a bit like watching a re-run of Dallas.

Fortunately I know where the "off" button is on the remote control, and there are plenty of other things to stream, so I did not waste my time by watching the whole thing.

What I don't understand is why Netflix (who make some pretty good series) even bothered to stream this truly awful show.

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.

This is an odd topic to base a series on. Where those involved have clearly seen a gap in the market, us plebs can understand that gap - we're fine with not knowing anything about the sport. There's absolutely no need to make polo mainstream or try to sell it to the masses. Those within the polo sphere don't want masses there, those of us not in the sphere don't want to be part of it 1 not least because there doesn't seem to be anything riveting about any of the people shown in the episodes. I think let's just let 2 very separate worlds coexist without ever mixing, that's fine. Not everything needs to be made equal.

I'm not sure what we were supposed to take away from this, but the pace, the shots, the sport, the people, the execution, the extremely exaggerated posing and false bonhomie just don't fool anyone. Polo isn't interesting enough for most folk. And it certainly isn't interesting enough through the lens of 2 former Firm members who add an unpalatable helping of insipidness to the whole thing.

This was either rushed through by the couple of "survivors" or, polo just doesn't make good watching - or both. Speaking as someone who neither loves or hates the British Royal Family, I went into this with a fairly open mind. Unfortunately I think the execution and the reviews kind of do speak for themselves and make minds up. It's just not good TV and the whole thing feels like the panicked, pretend, faux-natural yawn-athon it clearly is. I think it's probably time that Harry and Meghan chucked in the towel and that Netflix chucked Harry and Meghan.
