Poli is a poor attempt at a children’s ‘rescue team show’ and has absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever. The majority of characters in this program are autonomous self aware vehicles although there are a few human characters seemingly for the sake of it. The main characters, a police car, fire engine and ambulance, have the ability to transform into bipedal robot versions of themselves. The reason behind this is absolutely merchandise. The reason this is even possible is never explained and it happens ‘just because’. There is no real educational value behind Poli either. Something happens to suit the narrative of needing an entire rescue team, a real example is three cranes falling out with one another, the rescue team turn up and everything is fine. No lessons learned. The characters are all frustratingly helpless unless they form as part of the rescue team. They all sound and act stupid which, again, is to help drive the plot forward as quickly as possible to allow any old situation to happen just because it can. Do not even give Poli a chance.

Terrible terrible design when you’re playing at higher difficulty
