Marco Polo

Please bring back season 3.......its a very good show.. Want to know more about marco polo!

If anything to give it a proper ending. I thought this was a well done series and I would continue watching it. The actors were outstanding the plots good the action sufficient.

Marco Polo not only met my expectations but exceeded them in every way. It was only on for two seasons but they were a great two seasons. This has to be one of Netflix's most underrated shows ever. I don't know anyone who's seen it that didn't like it. Lorenzo Richelmy is absolutely perfect for this role and does such a terrific job as the lead and Benedict Wong leads a fantastic supporting cast. I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off for as long as I did. If you're a fan of historical action adventure thrillers like myself and you haven't watched this yet then do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed. Just make sure you leave yourself enough time because you're going to want to binge it as fast as you can.

Although littered with historical and biographical inaccuracies and exaggerations, Marco Polo has a good quality production and creates an escapist atmosphere of a mythologized past. The acting is average, and the story lines and characters are intriguing. The settings and camera work are great, and rather than solely focusing on Marco Polo the show has many other characters' roles and perspectives. The sense of power struggles is well laid out, although not even close to Game of Thrones level in scope (obviously).

In terms of any comparisons and/ or contrasts of other historical-epic type t.v. shows, I would say those that enjoyed the shows Rome, Spartacus, Vikings, and Shogun would enjoy this show. This show isn't quite as good as those particular shows, but is better than shows like Black Sails, Davinci's Demons, and The Tudors.

Considering it's Netflix first venture into historical-epic/ fantasy type genre, it's really good quality and more signs of great original content on the Netflix horizon.

All in all, I give it an 8.

This show is great and worth watching but it falls short of being a masterpiece due to an anti-climactic inconclusive ending. Probably because it wasn't supposed to end with season 2 but got cancelled prematurely just like netflix does with all of its shows.
