Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s latest Netflix series, Polo, has faced severe backlash from critics and viewers alike.
The five-episode docuseries, intended to provide an exclusive glimpse into the world of the elite and privileged sport, has been criticised as “tedious” and “a load of old tosh,” according to The Mirror.
The series marks another project under the Sussexes’ $100 million (£80 million) Netflix deal, signed in 2020. With the agreement set to expire next autumn, Polo joins their previous releases: Harry & Meghan, detailing their love story; Heart of Invictus, focusing on the Invictus Games; and Live to Lead, which profiles global leaders.
Despite their high-profile collaboration with Netflix, the response to their latest venture suggests their content strategy may need a rethink. Critics have questioned whether the series resonates with viewers, adding pressure as the Sussexes approach the end of their lucrative deal.
