Marco Polo Season 2 Review

Marco Polo Season 2 Review

The very first video i ever did for the Sugi Guru channel was the Marco Polo Season 1 review, which is still most viewed video i think on the channel - don't know particularly why is that i guess i did it rather quickly and all that. But i have come long way since, improved the branding/layouts and some parts audio quality is also higher - however lets talk about Marco Polo

Synopsis - In a world replete with greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue and rivalry, "Marco Polo" is based on the famed explorer's adventures in Kublai Khan's court in 13th century Mongolia.

Continuing where we left off on the first season, Kublai had conquered all china and killed the counselor. The 2nd season continues probably around few months later the events in first season, where Marco and agents of khan are searching for the Young Emperor Boy.

This season focuses lot on Ahmad and his attempts to kill Kublai and at the same time Kaidou wants to challenge Kublai for the Mongol throne - Christians and Pope also play a small part this season (Probably bigger role in 3rd season if that ever happens).

I feel that there was a strong emphasis on certain character relationships this season especially between Marco and Kublai which seems to grow stronger and stronger per season - there was also few flashbacks, which were really important in terms of character development and giving some insight why certain people do certain decisions.

Overall the production value, music, cast of actors are great, even tho lot of people are unsatisfied with Marco Polo's actor, which im fine with (I know he isn't amazing, but he does the job).
