«Venezia, 1274. Il giovane Marco Polo, al seguito del padre Niccolò e dello
zio Matteo, intraprende un lungo viaggio che lo conduce fin nel cuore del
potente Impero Mongolo, presso la corte di Kublai Khan. Abbandonato come
ostaggio dal padre e dallo zio nelle mani del Khan per potersi garantire il
libero accesso alla Via della Seta, Marco entra a far parte della corte di
Khublai, immergendosi sempre di più nel cuore delle tradizioni e della cultura
dell'Asia Orientale. Entrato nelle grazie del Khan, il giovane è testimone dei
tentativi di Kublai di tenere insieme ed espandere ulteriormente il suo
sterminato impero, tra intrighi di corte, cospirazioni, lotte di potere e il
conflitto in corso con l'ormai decadente Dinastia Song, ultimo baluardo del
millenario impero cinese contro la potenza mongolica».

«After Netlix’s success with House of Cards, Marco Polo becomes
their most ambitious original series yet. A sophisticated costume drama based on
the legendary adventurer’s 13th Century exploits, this first season surpasses
all expectations. The epic historical adventure is reputed to have cost the
Weinstein Company over $90 million and every penny of that budget can be seen on
screen over the course of ten riveting episodes. It’s a well-done historical
drama with surprising depth and lavish production values. Toss in a dash of
martial arts action and the usual gratuitous nudity to get Marco Polo,
which has become de rigueur for premium cable dramas. Those expecting a
lightweight historical series focused more on visceral action like Spartacus
or HBO’s Rome should look elsewhere. In a refreshing change of pace,
series creator John Fusco has made Marco Polo a serious drama set in the
13th Century world of Kublai Khan’s imperial court. Given free rein by Netflix,
an air of sensuality is added as an undertone to the political machinations that
threaten Marco Polo’s life at every turn. It’s a heady blend of intrigue,
betrayals and thrilling action at the crossroads of the Mongolian Empire. The
series opens in 1273. Marco Polo (Lorenzo Richelmy) travels the Silk Road with
his father, a great trader from Venice. Polo is abandoned by his father in the
great Kublai Khan’s court, held as a prisoner of sorts. Khan takes the young
Italian on as a pet project, hoping to learn the ways of Christian Europe and
gain insight into it. The grandson of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan (Benedict Wong)
has a great dream of uniting all of China under his rule. The only thing
standing in his way is the walled city of Xiangyang, led by the devious
Chancellor Jia Sidao (Chin Han). Sidao is a cruel, sadistic leader that
manipulates everyone around him, including the dying Chinese Emperor. The young
Polo will grow up into a warrior in Khan’s court as these two opposing forces go
against each other. ...».
