Has anyone seen the trailer for this series yet? I’ve seen a few reports about it and watched the trailer. Not sure if I will watch the series. It seems more lifestyle/personality focused, and less about the sport. 
I loved Jilly Cooper’s “Polo”, so will definitely watch this, just to give my “inner picture” of the book more context.

I’ll give it a chance. It needs to be more about polo and less about individuals and a minimum of Harry and Meghan to keep me tho

I’ll watch the first episode and give it a chance even though I don’t really want to support any venture of H/M.
If you want a more heart-warming and positive portrayal of polo other than Uber-rich people in their playground, check out “Crossing the Line”, a memoir about under-privileged kids in Philly who overcome a lot of adversity to become very successful. I’d 1000% have preferred a documentary on them.

thanks! Is that also on netflix?
No, it’s a book. They also have a Fb page “work to ride” (maybe other SM but I’m old I only do FB 
). Really a great story but with a very sad event at the end. But thought provoking and so much more deserving of recognition than what I think will be presented in this Netflix show.
I’m American (1st generation) but my parents are British and my hub is Irish and we all collectively think H/M are “tossers”. IMO their self-interests would have been far better served to do a documentary on the Philly kids (spoiler- poor black kids who work their ass off and succeed) than rich people doing what they have always done.
