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