What's the Story?

Produced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Polo offers a behind-the-scenes look at the world of professional polo. The series follows the lives of athletes as they prepare for the U.S. Open, delving into the sport's culture, family dynamics, and the pressures of maintaining a professional career in an exclusive and niche industry.

Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

The show offers an illuminating glimpse into a niche sport rarely covered in mainstream media. The details about polo's rules and tournament structure may interest sports enthusiasts, but the narrative of Polo struggles to create intrigue for a broader audience due to the sport's exclusivity. The focus on wealthy lifestyles and toxic familial relationships may alienate some viewers.
