I was anticipating watching this series as it was being advertised before its release. I was disappointed that the initial reviews called it boring and slow moving while lauding the cinematography. I'm glad I decided to see for myself.All I can figure is that the critics were disappointed that there weren't Kung Fu or large battles two or three times in every episode. I think in some respects, that has become the expectation on any eastern themed movie nowadays. They also complained about slow plot development, and most tried to draw a comparison to Game of Thrones (which I also enjoy greatly). They miss the mark. Comparing Marco Polo to GOT is an apples and oranges comparison, and still with certain parallels which they failed to note.GOT is fantasy, where MP is based on historical events. That's not to say MP is documentary; I'm sure that the writers have created fictional plot lines and characters to advance the story. However, many aspects of the storyline, and many of the characters are based on historical fact. The character development is thorough and intricate. These are very deep and nuanced characters. We tend to think of Kublai Khan as some short little cartoon character from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, and the Mongol Horde as an undisciplined mob of savages. In this series Khan is shown to be a complex and politically and militarily savvy strong leader, and his army to be as powerful and effective as any of the great armies of Europe from the same era. The development of the peripheral characters are equally as complex and nuanced. There is much intrigue in both the Mongol and the Song palaces, enough to hold our interest, and require careful attention to understand. Next to GOT, the characters are much more complex, and far more interesting.The critics were right about the cinematography. The locations are striking, and it is easy to see that no expense was spared in the making of the series. Their complaint about the dearth of action is unfounded. Every episode has some action. GOT tends to budget for one major event each season (Battle of the Blackwater, The Purple Wedding). In ten episodes of MP, I counted a number of battle scenes using thousands of extras. The show is impressive in its scope, and very enjoyable to watch.The critics point out the gratuitous sex. Perhaps there is some, but no more than we would expect in any made-for-subscription TV series. I'm not a prude, but I did think that the producers may have pandered somewhat to the viewership in this respect, but while the nudity and sex don't actually add to the story, they don't diminish it either. I can think of several series (Spartacus and Rome come to mind) where gratuitous sex/nudity is much more obvious.If there is a negative to the show, it is that you need to pay close attention to each episode to follow each plot line. Some of this is because of my own lack of familiarity with eastern culture. Names are difficult to remember and to keep straight, as are the family relationships, the alliances, the conflicts and the interests of the characters. This is not a show you can watch with one eye. To fully appreciate the story, you must be willing to watch with 100 per cent attention, every episode. If you are prepared to make that commitment, you will be rewarded with a rich and rewarding viewing experience.

The main character is a huge pussy, so much so that you really just want him to die, or kill himself. He has no likable qualities what so ever, and t ...

I am appalled at the ignorance of some of the things posted in the boards of this show. I think it's pretty outstanding! The casting is excellent, the attention to history in detail of costumes and culture is awesome and I rather like the fact that Marco Polo himself is more of an observer than a main character...the Mongols, especially Kublai Khan, stealing every single scene! People have bemoaned the "stiffness" of the actors; I can only chalk that up to very little exposure to Asian culture, film or acting! Watch some classic Asian made films and you'll see the acting in this offering is very true to form. As for casting of Chinese as Mongols when they are two very distinctly different ethnic groups,the make-up did a very credible job transforming them into believable Mongols...who are much darker in skin than Chinese, have higher cheekbones, broader faces and a more pronounced slant to the eyes than Chinese as well. The choice to have each group speak in English was a wise business decision. The biggest audience for this is Americans who don't exactly have much patience with subtitles. There was a nice combination of native languages spoken either in the background or as asides that gave one a good flavor of the languages. The attention to detail in costuming was really, really good. And for those worried about historical accuracy...there are almost 150 different editions or versions of The Travels of Marco Polo which is the travelogue "written" (actually spoken to a scribe) by Polo himself. They all have great flights of fantasy and magic and extremely improbable events in them so much so that some scholars have wondered if Polo had ever really been to all the places he claimed to visit, so a few inaccuracies ( like everyone speaking in English) is actually right in line with Polo's original work and actually might have been something the author himself might have appreciated. In short, stop looking for production and script flaws, stop displaying such ignorance about Asian cultures and just sit back and enjoy a darn good-adventure film!
