Given I am still working 7 to 7, 7 days a week, and am thoroughly disgusted the pathetic vitriol as seen on nightly cable news, I turned it off, and, now I am binge watching (in moderation, one episode a night) Marco Polo Season 2 on Netflix.
Sure it is dramatized, westernized, fictionalized and sexualized for today’s marginalized viewer, but it is a great escape and good cinematography on the cheap.
It is somewhat hard to follow the plot until one can clearly identify all the characters. Yet much better than the progressive implosion and eventual doom of the great orange wonder.
Next week – when the warring factions of what remains of the splintered GOP all group together for the final battle, I just might return to cable news for a little laughter. Funny how the epic story of Marco Polo make politics today look like a wimpy, cold, slightly sticky and stinky wet noodle.
