Hmmm, interesting trailer. Netflix have some amazing shows they produce.
ReplyDeleteit does look ever so intriguing and there is nothing we love more than historical shows!
DeleteMarco Polo sounds good. Quite like historical adventures :)
ReplyDeleteand Netflix has announced their arrival to Oz and Kiwiland in 2015 :)
DeleteI love Netflix... began watching old episodes of Fringe last week. Talk about a strange tale!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dezmond - the trailer wets my appetite.
this one is even better than the first trailer that I aired a month ago!
DeleteI agree.
Deletenaturally!
DeleteInteresting trailer! I have been watching more and more Netflix lately, so I am sure I will eventually get around to this series. So many good shows, just not enough time for them all :(
ReplyDeleteit's the opposite with me :) With REIGN and THE 100 going on holiday recess soon and Z NATION ending, I will have free space for the new ones :)
DeleteI've been waiting on this since you first announced it. Now it's almost here and that trailer looks FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteit's just two weeks away, dear, and this new trailer is even better than the first one! Since it is not a Hollywood production I'm hoping for more quality of DA VINCI'S DEMONS and SPARTACUS
DeleteThey don't put the trailers up on the site and they don't mention it at all. The only way I know about it is through you.
DeleteThey've been doing some good work and this one looks particularly well filmed.
me is the best intergalactic source for all things historical and epic, dahlink :)
Deleteapparently not historically accurate
ReplyDeleteas accurate as it can be on TV
DeleteThat's an expensive series.
ReplyDeletesure is, but then again ROME was $100 million
DeleteKatsching!
