About a week or so ago I seen a Facebook post about the new Netflix show Marco Polo. According to the post on Facebook it was "Not to be missed!"....so naturally I was intrigued but I was busy with another show so I put it on the back burner until today. Now I'm not going to lie for the first 30 minuets I thought I wasn't going to make it through...I was wondering why anyone would watch this show....It was boring and couldn't keep my attention...I was wondering off into the land of Facebook and contemplating turning this show off but when I focused my attention to the screen some shit was going down! Martial Arts, and nudity is enough to gain a second chance at approval in my book...So I put my phone down and started watching what was left of this first episode and I wasn't disappointing.
The show starts with a group of Italian merchants who are delivering priest to Kublia Khan...It was flat out boring until they reach Kublia Khan and Marco Polo's father trades him to Kublia Khan for a trade route....Marco Polo is thrown in a dungeon and again more boring and confusing scenes. They finally let Marco Polo out of the dungeon because Kublia Khan likes the way he delivers a story and he is granted his freedom as long as he would go different places in the land and report back and describe it to him.....But first he must be trained in the ways of Martial Arts, riding horses, and whore houses......So now that the show is getting interesting I suppose I'll watch it and hopefully it keeps getting better.
Total side note but Netflix is killing it with their original shows...
