It's not often that a Netflix original series gets the rug pulled out from under it, but that's what happened to Marco Polo this week. The expensive period adventure became the first Netflix series to get the axe after only two seasons.
Marco Polo came to Netflix from Starz, where it was not performing well enough to justify its big production budget.

Still, it's been the Netflix policy so far to hang on to all of its original programming for at least three seasons. Presumably some of its other originals are not exactly blockbuster hits,...
