Started watching Marco Polo.  Digging it so far. Finally a series based on he greatest empire the wicked has ever seen, that of the Great Khans, the Empire of the Mongols.

I finally caved after Netflix wouldn't stop pushing it on me. Only two episodes in, but excellent so far.

The Following season 1  4/5 or 7/10

It's an above average take on FBI vs intelligent serial killer because
Most episodes felt longer than they actual were. Sometimes the cause is that too much happens; other times you can sense that nothing truly important is happening. The middle episodes were a little boring compared with the earlier ones, but it did pick up again towards the end.

Season 2 is so bad it's embarrassing. You've been warned.  1/5 or 1/10

I was watching Prison Break but season two is pretty lackluster and I doubt it'll get much better. It is falling into typical TV cliches to extend the series.

I'm going to re-watch Moral Orel though, it's a wonderfully satirical show.

Dark as fuck.. but it was pretty good. Enjoying Marco Polo right now.

I haven't started yet but look forward to it. The kung-fu I've seen in the trailers has me a little worried about Chow Yun Fat running across bamboo tree tops.

It isn't as over the top as the trailers. Characters seem to be pretty well done, and I'm enjoying the sets, must of cost a fortune.
