Finished Season 1 this week.  I would give it a B or B-.  Entertaining, but I see why reviewers had issues with it.  The good was that for the most part the dialogue is decent and the plotlines are interesting.  The actor that plays Marco Polo is week, but with few exceptions, I think the rest of the cast is excellent.  Jao Sidao was an interesting and credible adversary to the Khan.  I looked him up and the show's portrayal seems credible and layered for one of history's more interesting characters.

The bad, and this is a big bad.  WAY too much kung .  Was everyone in 13th century China a martial arts expert?  The fight at the end of episode 10 was ridiculous.  I am just going to pretend that all the kung  scenes didn't happen, because I like the show more when I do that.

Also, the monk character would have been more credible if he wasn't blinded, or he didn't go into battle.  The writers needed to do one or the other.

I do not get why Yusef did what he did in Episode 9.
