Since Netflix doesn’t actually release ratings, it’s hard to tell how well the show was doing; suffice to say, a cancellation usually indicates that things weren’t all that swell—especially considering how expensive the drama was to produce.
While our own Nick Venable liked the epic scope of the drama, critics weren’t in love with the series, and Deadline is reporting that viewership was down for Marco Polo during Season 2.
Still, two seasons is a lot more than a lot of shows get, and fans of the show should at least be pleased that they have more than a few paltry episodes of the series.
