Yeah, that looks like Hollywood’s version of Marco Polo. I don’t even care, though, because this series sounds like it has the potential to be truly bonkers:

The 10-episode drama was created by John Fusco (Young Guns II) and focuses on the famed explorer’s journey that takes him to the center of a brutal war in 13th century China — a world replete with astonishing martial arts, sexual intrigue, political skullduggery and spectacular battles.

Haha, yes! I also don’t care that Marco Polo didn’t even go to China.
