'Marco Polo' Is About To Be The Biggest Show In Streaming History



A legendary monarch. A dying dynasty. A beautiful princess with a secret. Warriors who have harnessed the ancient power of kung fu. A harem full of the most beautiful – and skilled – courtesans in the world. Oh, and a world-famous explorer. Sounds pretty cool, right? That’s the world of Netflix‘s ambitious new drama, Marco Polo. [...] Much as the real Marco Polo was the Western world’s eyes and ears in the court of Kublai Khan, the show is trying open a new cultural world to English-speaking audiences. And that’s great. This is one of the first times that medieval Asian culture is being depicted in Western media as being the sophisticated and complex world that it really was. - Meghan O'Keefe,Decider [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
