Marco Polo (2014–2016)
5/10
Beautiful empty shell
14 December 2014
Nice production values, but main characters are lifeless, emotionless automatons. Furthermore, hearing the Asians speak 'American' is initially awkward, then becomes grating and ultimately too much to tolerate. By the end of the third episode I could not stand this fake construct any more and proceeded to watch the 1982 original, which is vastly superior in almost every aspect (except for the CGI, which did not exist then). Comparing this in quality to a gem like the Tudors is in my opinion absurd, bordering on the ridiculous. Another example of Hollywood kitsch , not Art

On the plus side, I really liked the Costumes, Set design, Lighting and Score
