Critic Reviews

It’s clattering and niche, and feels like a spoof documentary designed to play on screens in the background of episodes of Succession.

There’s lots of blood, sweat, and tears in the series – but not enough of the Sussexes to make this anything other than a dull indulgence about a rich person’s pursuit.

Polo is a mostly boring look at a sport that very few people outside of elite circles have any particular interest in.

Despite the efforts of the showrunner Milos Balac, who also produced Welcome to Wrexham, it’s simply impossible to relate in the same way to the sleek, tanned, sports car-driving players of Polo, despite the lurking theme of demanding fathers (in Dutta’s case). However much of it is shot through a “truthful and relatable lens”, it lacks a streak of mischief.
