Marco Polo season 3 is kill

Netflix has canceled “Marco Polo,” Variety has confirmed. The Weinstein Co.-produced series streamed for two seasons on the digital service.

Originally developed at Starz, “Marco Polo” premiered in 2014, with its second season debuting earlier this year. It becomes one of only a handful of original series to be canceled by Netflix, including “Bloodline,” “Hemlock Grove,” and “Lillyhammer.”

The series starred Lorenzo Richelmy as the titular Italian explorer and Benedict Wong as Kublai Khan. It was also among the more ambitious and costly efforts in the history f the company’s original series. Season one cost a reported $90 million. Production for that first season included a construction crew of 400 and an art department of 160.

In his 2014 review of the first season for Variety, Brian Lowry wrote, “While ‘Marco Polo’ possesses scope, scale and an inordinate amount of exposed skin, the series exhibits only a sporadic pulse. That leaves a property that can be fun taken strictly on its own terms, but deficient in the binge-worthy qualities upon which Netflix’s distribution system has relied.”

“Marco Polo” was executive produced by John Fusco, Dan Minahan, Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg, Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein, Ben Silverman, Chris Grant, Dave Erickson, Peter Friedlander. The series was produced by Electus and the Weinstein Co.

What the fuck I liked that show.

RIP in piece.

That show gave me yellow fever.

WHAT THE FUCK THEY CANCELLED BLOODLINE??????

Fuck. I actually really enjoyed that show.
Probably need the budget for more tranny shows and Brazilian socialist propaganda.

This what the FUCK

Fucking Normies. Can't enjoy a good show.

Truth is they can spend 1/4 on some marvel shit and get more viewers.

At least it gets a final season to rap things up.

>make him a Christian convert
>make him a pedophile

Bravo netflix

Didnt he convert to try and atone for being a pedo?

What the fuck? They dropped it on a cliffhanger? Fuck you.

Considering how it's actually got a lot of Asian people, you'd think it would be saved by the overseas market.

Why does capeshit get its ass saved there but based Hundred Eyes doesn't?

but marco polo was GOOD

Well fuck I guess I might as well never bother watching Season 2. I am sad.

This is an OUTRAGE

Damn, that was one of the few Netflix shows I liked.

same

Yeah, but the Weinstein'a made him that way. i wponder why (((Weinstein ))) hmmmmmmmmmm ;thinking:

Season 2 is still a solid second season. There's gunpowder explosions and traumatizing incest and shit.

Didn't House of Cards get cancelled recently as well?

The End

Good, fucking dogshit show anyway. Plebiean shit.

not any point in keeping it going when rl politics is more interesting at this point 2bh

Would've been neat to see their take on Prester John, lots of possibilities there.

>On January 28, 2016, Netflix renewed House of Cards for a fifth season, to premiere in 2017.

Seems like we'll get to see at least one more season of some hastily rewritten Trump mockery.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I tried watching this show but stopped when the naked Chinese lady killed those guys with Kung-fu.

when i realized the milf babe in the show is actually the joan girl from twin peaks

>as the titular Italian explorer

He was Croatian.

From Dalmatia? The part that was owned by Venice at the time?

So how the fuck does that make him Italian? You could say he was Venetian since he was part of the Republic of Venice, but you can't say he was Italian.

The first episode of this show was PURE KINO

It subsequently degrades into corny comic book Wushu antics and gratuitous titties... I can see why they cancelled it but I will miss it.

The same way Prince Jingim counts as Mongolian, because he was born in a China conquered by Mongols.

The problem with the show was its title character. Marco Polo was the worst character on the show in S1. S2 was much better with Marco having a more subdued role but honestly that's a basic structural flaw you cant really overcome.

I love me some wushu antics and gratuitous titties.
RIP in piece you glorious basterd.

But Italy didn't exist back then. Italy's just a geographical construct, anyway.

The scicilians think so.

LOL netflix kill shows that are interesting while keep shows about coal burning super heroes alive.

Show could have been so much more had they gone with the story of Genghis and his sons.

>historical inaccuracy everywhere
>silly kung fu fights constantly
>shitty acting
>asian pop stars instead of real substance
>literally what? tier plot lines like the arab who likes to get pegged

It apparently was a big hit in Europe and Asia, but I guess if it's not a big hit in America the rest doesn't matter.

These

Ahmad is a real motherfucker in season two.

Shut up you uncle tom nigger

>crusaders in China

It's not historically accurate at all. It's basically Mongol Politics + Swashbuckling European Adventure + Wuxia

fuck, ill miss the asian qts

worth it for that scene desu

I just watched the first two seasons of this show and it was finally starting to get good during season two. This is disappointing.

Best girl, blue princess can take a hike

Maybe if they had a few less asian pop stars and more people who could act, the show wouldn't have gotten canned.

Fuck netflix man, I was so into this show. Season 1 was great and season 2 was a big cliffhanger, I thought s3 was going to be some epic culmination
God damn it I'm mad

the only problem was annoying faggot main character marco. they should have focused on based kublai

Fuck, I was just about to watch season 2

The show is called marco polo, not fatass khan documentary

Or just have a show about the mongols without needing a white lead.

stop bullying kublai

Tbh if they did it right they could have had some nice spinoffs about Genghis and Ogadai. Why did they fuck it up?

Weinstein Co needs help. They can't get the public to like anything they make.

Why do they assume a white lead is needed for an audience to get into the show? Don't they know The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air wasn't only watched by blacks?

Are you joking? This show should have been the spinoff to Genghis.

KHAN OF KHANS

There's some movie coming out where they've shoehorned Matt Damon into ancient China.

post pics of the qt mongol girl that fucked marco hard in one of the first episodes

REEEEEEEEEEEE stop doing this sort of bs, film industry!

They didn't fuck it up. The show has great ratings. It just doesn't make money like pleb capeshit and all the other shit that braindead people watch on netflix

You niggers all collectively shit on Marco Polo. Now you're being special snowflake victims about its cancellation.

Everyone in this thread kys

Daredevil is garbage

>implying I didn't always enjoy it
get fucked

You're fucking retarded, you know there are people here with different opinions right?

>implying I didn't watch it since day one and love it
Fuck off, show was great and it's a fucking loss.

"""acting"""

Daredevil and the dark knight are the only forms of capekino desu, everything else in the genre is garbage.

fuck you

Recommend me some nice comfytvkino if I enjoyed Marco Polo please. Is that new Medici netflix show any good?

blue princess developing split personality was a boner killer for me

on the other hand, kutulin's actress is a christfag irl

>Sup Forums is a hivemind

>its an australian accent keeps slipping out worse than sam worthington episode

Why does this surprise anyone? This was Netflix's most expensive show and at the same time one of the worst reviewed.

To be fair to that shitty film, the director himself is said to have sought out Damon, not producers or anything.

Visually pleasing, good for the ears, but the actual plot is pretty boring.

Definitely worth a watch though, it's just not nearly as engaging as Marco Polo was.

Didn't they report that Benedict Wong wasn't signing on to play Khan after the premiere of Season 2? That itself was sort of the nail in the coffin.

Can Asians not carry a movie or tv show on their own?

Hannibal, it's on amazon prime

I think it was partially done because the film itself is intended to be marketed to America (it's not China exclusive and it's in English) and, iirc, the director sought out Damon because he's a fan.

weinstein company is rapidly losing money

>Marco Polo season 3 is kill
Goddamn it.

>Lillyhammer is also cancelled
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

In China they can pretty well, but I think they want an international market to like it as well, pretty sure China wants to get into the business of exporting their movies on a much larger scale.

This.

>faggots think shit like this is above capeshit

Just because it's not based on a comic book doesn't make something automatically good.

The biggest problem probably was that it wasn't Netflix's answer to Game of Throne in terms of popularity like they had hoped. Hopefully we'll get something similar in the future. Maybe a co-produced Sengoku period series, now that Netflix is in Japan.

But it does automatically make it better than capeshit

It has more to do with it being more expensive to produce on a per-episode basis than even GOT

lol no kiddo it doesnt.

plebs like you are so adorable.

That's too bad, it was pretty nice.

its a chinese film directed by the top chinese director and white cucks are in an uproar because he wanted based damon in his film

>china's own movies do well in china
did you feel like stating the obvious just because?

>Seems like we'll get to see at least one more season of some hastily rewritten Trump mockery.

heh.

Season 4 was pretty boring compared to the real life election.

Shouldn't it be ending soon though? I thought 5 would be the last season. Guess they're stretching it out for 6?

id assume he stated it because it means they can go bigger budget if overseas also brings in the dollar like pacific rim doing fairly shit domestically

Finally, this show was so PROBLEMATIC.

Which I'm gonna pirate. Subscription cancelled.

Too bad, I was kinda curious what happened to the missing army

kek i didnt even knew it got a second season. it was shit from day one.
