So Netflix's Marco Polo

[Kudro]

Hundred-Eyes makes the show. Looking forward to season 2.

Not The best, but my wife and I watched the first season and definitely would watch another.

No, it's not GoT, but then again I don't use it as a comparison to determine whether or not I watch a show.

It's a decent, plot driven show. It's better than the other 95% of shit like Dance Moms and Sex Box, so don't get butthurt that it's not as good Breaking Bad or GoT.

Every time I see this picture pop up in Netflix:

I think that they've created a show where Peter Dinklage has CGI arms and legs.

They tried to be the Game of Thrones of Netflix and forgot the great storyline, excellent acting and awesome costumes/props. Tits and violence can only get you so far.

GoT forgot the great story line too. Polo has fantastic costumes though.

I'm about half way through. I've enjoyed it thus far. (Just finished "White Moon"
Rock solid story line. Pretty decent acting.
I've been entertained.

I watched this, then realized I never watched season 4 of GoT so I watched that. Marco Polo was entertaining, but to me GoT is on such a higher level of quality.

And they spent 2x as much on MP...

Source on that? I read that Marco Polo was $90M, whereas the cost on Game of Thrones is ~$6M per episode ($60M per season)

Still, I'm not sure where the other $30M was spent. The production quality on Polo is pretty impressive though. But $90M for a pretty small (unknown) cast and limited sets? Seems insane.

 

[Homerboy]

And for the record, its money MUCH better spent than the $10M per episode for Friends!

 

[Homerboy]

Finally wrapped it up.
Got WAY better towards the end (episode 7-10)

Spoiler

While completely ludicrous, the fight between the Chancellor and the Monk was awesome. When the Monk when to cricket style kung-fu, the Chancellor's face was awesome.

Definitely looking forward to season 2

 

[PricklyPete]

Agreed, I will definitely watch 2nd season if made. Biggest fault...hottest girl on show never got naked. I kid, I kid...well not really.

costumes and carpentry. Many of those sets were handmade following traditional methods.

Yes, yes. Her.

 

[Excelsior]

This show is no more than a 7/10, but damn if it isn't fun to watch. Yes, it's fictitious, story is often shit...but kung-fu, swords, and tits.

Not bad, Game of Thrones but with Asians

Hi there. I just LOVE this Marco Polo series on Netflix and I think they are underrated, I don't get tired of watching it over and over again, I also binge watched it in 1 winter week.

I have never watched Games of Thrones but I hear a lot about it. If I watch it, is it like Marco Polo but with caucasians? Are the series similar to each other??
