Marco Polo tv series

"While 'Marco Polo' possesses scope, scale and an inordinate amount of exposed skin, the series exhibits only a sporadic pulse." 

"A middling mess, complete with random accents, slow story and kung fu." 

"There is a lot of violence in it, and a whole lot of nudity, and there are superb performances, all of which are undermined by ponderously self-important writing and direction." 

"It would have been nice to see someone take the successful 'Game of Thrones' formula and expand on or enhance it, but 'Marco Polo' ends up skeletonizing it.... The show’s most egregious flaw, though, is its exploitation of female characters." 

"The show suffers from a profound lack of momentum and meaning, with plots and subplots that are stiff and predictable."
