Polo Passion: What Harry and Meghan's Show Tells Us

Montecito, Florida, USA,Sun Dec 15 2024
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix series “Polo” hasn’t been a hit with critics. They wanted to show the glamorous world of polo, but it’s been called boring and tone-deaf. The series follows polo players and their lavish lives, with Harry and Meghan barely appearing. They say they didn’t control the final cut. But they did choose to make a series about a sport that’s not exactly known for being exciting or relatable. Polo is an expensive sport, requiring lots of money and well-bred horses. It’s not something most people can relate to. Critics say the show doesn’t show the struggles of underdog athletes like other sports documentaries do. Instead, it shows rich people playing a sport that’s seen as silly by many. Animal rights groups have also criticized the show for not showing the risks horses face. Harry and Meghan say they care about animals, but the show doesn’t show this. Despite the criticism, the series might have another season. But will people watch? The couple’s other shows haven’t been big hits.

    Given Harry and Meghan's environmental and animal rights stance, why didn't they address the ethics of polo more directly in the series?
