Why is this show doing so bad!? I hear it's getting cancelled!!

Nobody other than Netflix knows how its rating.

Additionally you would need to know the GLOBAL ratings in all 190 countries to come to a fully analysis.

The thing with Netflix is that if something performs poorly in one country, but excellent in another then it can survive.

Thats why Adam Sandler got 4 movies. It wasn't for the USA market.

Thank God, it lost me after the first episode.

I agree with some of the comments here, it doesn't get nearly as much promotion as other Netflix shows, I've seen most of the other shows being promoted everywhere, and the cast for shows like Jessica Jones and Daredevil have been interviewed by all the shows like The Today Show, The Late Show with Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, etc., but I have yet to see any of the actors from this show on any talk shows! I really like this show, even though it's clear that it's not completely historically accurate, it does have lots of drama, intrigue, action, etc. I think it just needs better marketing.

Having said that, the actor that plays Jingim is ver active on the Marco Polo subReddit and said that's not true, it's not getting cancelled.

Less nudity and violence is never the answer. I thought both seasons were great but from what I hear about the plans for season 3 I am not so stoked. It sounds like Khan and the Mongols are going to take a backseat to the Christian army.

If the season 3 will not come out, i will cry a lot.

I agree, a great show, and Netflix isn't doing enough to advertise it better. The acting, cinematography, and costumes are all on par with the more successful Game of Thrones, but I suspect most of the younger generation of viewers (including some of the 'professional reviewers are largely ignorant, and even allergic to real history (though this series isn't strict real history either). Given the audience base it probably wouldn't have hurt them to add a little more myth and magic, and make it sort of a "Asian GOT", if for not other reason than to give it higher ratings among the 'ignorant masses'. Ironically, if they did this the story would actually be more like the REAL Marco Polo's actual writings..... like the time, as I recall, his caravan was attacked by flying dragons! (Though I suspect he said this more to dissuade competitors from traveling the Silk Road and make the story more exciting). Even if this isn't popular enough with the American audience, let's hope Netflix has a large enough, more sophisticated international audience to insure its survival.
