Numerous disappointed reviews have flooded the Internet despite the documentary having dropped just yesterday.
It received two stars or less out of five across the board and was labeled a “tedious inside-look at posh polo” despite promising “content that informs but also gives hope,” according toDaily Mail.
While the prince and his wife were executive producers and very “hands-on” in the making of the show, they only briefly appeared a handful of times, much to the dismay of critics.

“Polo is not just a sport. Polo is a lifestyle,” one person cried. “We eat, we breathe, we sleep polo!”
The verdict of many critics was simple: it wasn’t engaging
But what was most disappointing to viewers was that the documentary fell short at keeping audiences interested.
Joel Keller fromDecidersaid, “SKIP IT.Polois a mostly boring look at a sport that very few people outside of elite circles have any particular interest in.”

In an interview withPeople, showrunner Miloš Balać pulled back the curtain on what went into the making of the series dedicated to “the sport of kings.”
Apparently, the prince and Meghan had lots of ideas and outlines going into the creative process.
“They really had a vision for trying to get polo to be accessible to a wider audience,” he said. “Prince Harry knows the sport inside and out.”
Balać added, “To have a polo expert in-house with him was so special. I think a lot of projects have EPs that can give great notes, but it’s rare that you have someone who’s truly an expert in the subject that you are documenting.”
Polois now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
