Polo

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
