Marco Polo | Netflix Original

[McAgger]

Apparenly the second highest TV show budget after GoT.

Netflix are going full on balls to the walls with this.

All 10 episodes will be released December 12th (next Friday)

[LeVersacci]

wtf

Def gonna check it out

[McAgger]

I know man. Terrible advertising. Went completely under the radar.

[RealGunner]

Never heard of it till now lol.

"Marco Polo is an upcoming American television drama series about Marco Polo's early years in the court of Kublai Khan"

That sounds quite interesting, specially as a fan of history. Thanks for this thread James

[McAgger]

I just found out about it myself. Coworker told me about it during a watercooler chat

Netflix doesn't really need to market that much as opposed to other channels, since Netflix have an unlimited window to showcase their tv-shows who are always finished storyline. This means that they can rely on word of mouth and putting on the top of the suggestions for all netflix users (and the new one joining because of the good word of mouth).

Can't wait to see this show, read an article about some months ago and I've liked every big show Netflix has done so far.

Will watch and what Freeza said is true, House of Cards wasn't really advertised much either.

I have been hearing about this for a long time. Freeza is right, Netflix really does not need to market much.

[Freeza]

Same with Orange is The New Black. Didn't hear a single word about it before I saw it on the recommended on Netflix, then the word spread and I watched it. Love their model so much tbh, getting a 100% guaranteed storyline, hate shows getting cancelled on networks without finishing their stories.

Just watched the promo for this the other day and it looks impressive.

Netflix might have another hit on their hands.

Just watched the trailer. Somehow I doubt that he was kick ass fighter and womanizer, but then again I didn't really pay attention to his travels in history class.

Also for those of you interested, here is the list of upcoming netflix series:

Did anyone read A Series Of Unfortunate Events? A lot of people are ecstatic that Netflix is making a show adaptation.

[McLewis]

Just watched the pilot episode. This might just be a solid show. Nothing spectacular or epic about it so far though.

[McAgger]

Yeah it's out today. Will give it a go.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Watching it atm, really like it personally.

[Freeza]

Has gotten horrid reviews though. Tv reviews can't be judged properly though.

[M99]

Netflix members average rating 4.4 out of 5 Is it actually good or is it Mole and his hipster gang all giving it 5 stars

[RealGunner]

8.8/10 from 349 users from imdb.

Let's see how this develops.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Hipster gang

I legit am now imaging that I have control of a load of midgets who I idolise in my own hipster image to effect the scores of Netflix reviews.

[M99]

The final Trevor Rampage in GTA 5 is against "Killer Hipsters" That's what I imagine you and your gang are like

[gb]

Watched the first two episodes and I really enjoy it so far.

[B-Mac]

will probably binge watch when House of Cards comes out....seeing as I only pay for netflix to watch house of cards then cancel it again lol

[B-Mac]

just completed it


good show, final episode was pretty good definitely leaves me wanting to watch season 2

[McLewis]

It's back

4 episodes in. Kublai showing his GOATness early on. He'd hold his own in Westeros, 100% sure of that. Hundred Eyes with some of the best lines again this season.

Lacking of a good villain like Sia Jidao though. Ahmad isn't enough and neither is Kaidu so far.
