Critics Slam Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s New Netflix Series
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix series, Polo, is generating buzz among critics, even before its premiere on December 10th. Some critics have shared their opinions based solely on the trailer, which runs for two minutes and twenty-eight seconds. The Daily Beast reported that a former friend of Harry’s described the series as “tacky and cringey,” while a Hollywood executive felt that it had failed to capture the audience’s imagination.
Polo is a five-episode docuseries that promises to provide an inside look at the passion and determination behind elite polo players, shedding light on the grit behind the glamour. The show features Prince Harry’s friend Nacho Figueras, who expressed his excitement about the project, stating that it provides a great opportunity for the sport to reach a wider audience through Netflix.
The trailer for Polo showcases drama, romance, and glamour, particularly focusing on the father-son duo Adolfo and Poroto Cambiaso competing at the 2024 US Open. The show seems to have a perfect blend of elements that have worked well for Netflix in the past, such as sports docuseries with soap opera-like twists.
Despite the early criticism, Meghan and Harry are hopeful that Polo will resonate with viewers and prove their critics wrong. With the entertainment industry facing economic challenges, the pressure is on for the Sussexes to deliver a successful series. Their upcoming cooking show with Netflix adds to the stakes, as they strive to make a mark in the streaming world.
Before the premiere of Polo, fans are eagerly anticipating what Meghan and Harry have in store next. They continue to make bold moves and milestones since stepping away from the royal family, leaving audiences intrigued and engaged with their projects.
