Polo

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.

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.

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.

I really wanted to like the Polo documentary (well is more like reality tv), it hace some good parts like the father son competitive spirit, but that's about it, no bad but no good either, The first episode was tough to connect with, because it presents a world that not only isn't very relatable to most people, but is boring to boot," I think they try to hard to be like the other sports documentaries on Netflix but the biggest problem is that Polo is not a sport that can connect with normal people, and that's the biggest problem with trying to bring a Polo documentary to Netflix, I am no sure if ever Polo as sport will be mainstream.

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.
