Interesting. Does anyone think this could be as epic as Game of Thornes?

Netflix goes back in time with new historical fiction series "Marco Polo." The show depicts the explorer's younger years in the court of Kublai Khan, and according to the just released teaser trailer, features a whole lot of sex, blood and adventure. Dare we call it the next "Game of Thrones"?
"Marco, the blood of an adventurer courses through your veins," our protagonist is told as the trailer opens.
 
I think we are a LONG way off from that. I mean way way off from calling it the next GoT. There's been plenty of historicalish fiction as of late that I thought held a lot of potential and with a few exceptions (Spartacus and Vikings) have been pretty bad. I'm thinking Camelot, Black Sails, Da Vinci's Demons.

Also I def think this is the wrong forum, there's no indication that this is anything other than historical fiction
 
For a second I thought this thread was in the Doctor Who forum, and that the long-lost serial of the same title had been found and would be a netflix exclusive ;)

As far as historical dramas go I'm fond of the Roman stuff but this might be interesting as well.
 
LOL--I thought this was Doctor Who as well!

What makes GofT is the fact that the writer has spent twenty years creating the world and the story. There is no way a bunch of screenwriters can pull that off over a few months--sorry.

I also thought it was related to the missing Doctor Who story. LOL

I wish it had been found. The 30-minute reconstruction they did of the serial on the Doctor Who The Beginning DVD was great and made me really want to see it.

Still, I'm looking forward to Marco Polo on Netflix. I do like a good historical epic.
