Polo is a 2024 American documentary series set for streaming on Netflix. It was released on December 10, 2024.[1]
In April 2024, it was reported that the Archewell Productions was in the process of developing two non-fiction projects and that one would focus on polo as a professional sport showcasing the U.S. Open Polo Championship.[2] Netflix released the first trailer for the five-part docuseries on November 21, 2024.[3][4] Among the athletes featured in the show are Argentine polo players Nacho Figueras and Adolfo Cambiaso.[3]

Reception
The series has a score of 40 on Metacritic.[5] In his review for The Guardian, Stuart Heritage gave the series 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Polo looks destined to fall through the submenus into obscurity at the speed of light. And rightly so. It's clattering and niche, and feels like a spoof documentary designed to play on screens in the background of episodes of Succession."[6] Writing for The Telegraph, Ed Power also gave the series 2 out of 5 stars and stated, "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."[7] Giving a similar rating to the series in his review for The Times, James Jackson argued "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. Still, if you were, say, Prince Harry, it would no doubt be the most compelling thing on TV."[8]
The show garnered 500,000 views in the first half of 2025, ranking 3436 by the end of June among all of Netflix's productions.[9]
