hddu10 This entire series was a painfully obvious attempt to capitalize on the success of Game of Thrones (i.e. super natural fighting scenes, a lot of war, but most of all nudity and sex at every turn) set loosely in the historical context of Marco Polo's descriptions of the Mongol reign of Kublai Khan. But there is almost nothing real or historical about this; it's simply another jewish/atheist hollywood attempt at revising (see: burying) history and writing about people times and cultures that they know absolutely nothing about. The writers are as painfully clueless of the motivations and cultures of the Mongols and Chinese as they are of the Italians and Crusaders. You only need to hear a few lines of dialogue to realize this. And the reality of history is actually FAR more interesting; many of the Mongols in Kublai's court, including his wife, Empress Chabi were Christian. The Crusaders were ALLIES of the Mongols and they both fought together against the muslims/abassids. Kublai was himself friendly with Pope Gregory, and the Westerners did not treat mongols as savages or call them barbarians to their faces. This is all just silly, Hollywood jewish/atheist nonsense meant to arouse the sexually frustrated (or those with a fetish for watching Asian women degraded) and inflame the dimwitted who are looking for anti-Christian propaganda. Just awful. And it's no wonder this was all produced by a sexual predator, Weinstein, since that particular theme makes its rounds throughout every episode. The people behind this mess should be ashamed of themselves. But sadly, this is yet another example that in that particular industry, there is no shame.

hddu10-819-37458 From the now-disgraced Hollywood Mogul comes this piece of fantasy/ historical revisionism. As someone who was always fascinated with the story of Marco Polo, I cannot stress my disappointment in the story-line, which mocks anyone with the vaguest knowledge of history. And while of course there were concubines and harems in this part of the world, women simply did not disrobe and conduct martial arts or initiate orgies at the slightest provocation. And of course the anti-Christian sentiment is always underlined; with the Christian characters either portrayed as cowards or the worst schemers...despite the reality that Empress Chabi and most of her children were also a pious Christian scholar (although this perversion of history prefers to portray her as a lusty, sex/power hungry siren). This is clearly the brain-child of a sexual predator (no surprise here, since it comes from Harvey Weinstein). While on the one hand it IS nice to see Asian actors getting a forum to work, my guess is everyone who is writing all the rave reviews is either paid by Weinstein/his production co or secretly getting off on the creepy sex scenes here.

urperspective This is a really great show, with some really good performances, a good story line and keeps you yearning for more. I am at loss as why season three has been cancelled.

Timo Reichert One year ago I watched the first episode of Marco Polo but stopped because it seemed quite boring. I re-watched it one week ago again and continued to binge watch the following days. My girlfriend and I devoured it.Yes. The show has a slow start, but patience is a virtue. What comes after is perfect in its own way. Is it historically correct? Generally. Most of the main characters existed through out history. Does it make sense that everyone speaks English? Not really. But this is where art starts. If I wanted to watch a true representation of history - I'd choose a documentary - not a Drama! Watching Marco Polo won't give you a complete satisfaction since Netflix decided to cancel before it could finish the story. But as in life - the journey is the destination. Those 20 episodes are intense and displayed through beautiful art in visual design and sound.Maybe - if enough people take a leap of faith in watching Marco Polo - then maybe we will have the chance for the continuation of the story in the future. But until then - my life would be missing something. Even if it's just about those quotes by 100 Eyes.."Every legend must come to an end."
