Marco Polo
Youngest's description "Its a bit like game of thrones but with more nudity"
yebbut GoT is a fantasy novel. Marco Polo is a real historical figure . . . .
I was prepared for hysterical historical innacuracies but drew the line at the Polos trading spices from China to europe along the Silk Road, ("Daddy, why do they call it the Silk Road") then dear little Marco (who doesn't change facial expression for whole episodes, bless, its amazing he didn't get cramp) doesn't recognise Linen. Seems its something produced by the Chinese and unknown to traders in Europe. What The Fuck
The first episode is wooden and clunky in the extreme. Teenage Girl declared "If there isn't a serious named female character in the next episode, I'm not watching this crap."
Lo, one appears. She's a red-hot princess who is prepared to go to any lengths for diplomatic solutions. She can even kick ass, slaughtering 3 armed soldiers with a jade hair pin. Sadly, she has to do this naked. Youngest was right.
