Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix Polo Series Faces Early Criticism

The upcoming docuseries, set to debut December 10, has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising its insight into the sport and others calling it unappealing.

• The five-part Netflix series, 'Polo,' produced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, explores the lives and rivalries of elite polo players competing in the US Open Polo Championship.
• The show, which does not feature Harry or Meghan, highlights the passion, challenges, and glamour of the sport, with players such as Nacho Figueras and Adolfo Cambiaso prominently featured.
• Critics, including some of Harry's former associates, have described the trailer as 'tacky' and 'cringey,' arguing it fails to capture the inclusivity and depth of modern polo.
• Supporters, including Figueras, emphasize the series' potential to expand awareness of the sport and its unique lifestyle, likening it to other successful sports docuseries on Netflix.
• The series comes as part of the Sussexes' broader partnership with Netflix, with industry observers noting the pressure on the couple to deliver successful content amidst growing scrutiny.
