My favorite show is The Walking Dead and I'm also big into Thrones(I know...a lot of people are.....)but since TWD is done until October and it'll be April/May for GoT , will this get me thru the dark times? I gave The 100 a try but I could only get thru 2 1/2 episodes before I finally gave up, too many plot holes...but anyway...
That is difficult to answer :)
The production values of Marco Polo is spectacular, as is costumes, etc. The cast is mostly good, but i am not equally happy with everyone (i wont name names, hehe).
My best suggestion would be for you to watch an episode or two, and make up your own mind. The show has only released two seasons, so it is unlikely that this alone will hold you over until your other show(s) starts up again (unless you only watch an episode or two per week).

Give it a chance. Superior production values and a lot of political intrigue onto those times. Add some great battles ( single or army ), romance, drama and you're in for a treat. Also has a fantastic character in 100 Eyes.
shareMarco Polo and Vikings scratch that Game of Thrones itch for me. They're not on the same level as GoT, but they each have a lot of moments, characters and performances that really stand out in their own way.
shareHave you watched Fear the Walking Dead? The first season was pretty bad, but the second season has been better than regular Walking Dead, IMO. The first 8 episodes of the second season have already aired.
Also, check out The Expanse. It was produced by the SyFy network, but don't let that scare you off -- it's got insanely good production values, and is basically SyFy's attempt at creating something epic on par with GoT, Marco Polo, etc.
Obviously, The Expanse is NOT a sword and sandal epic, but it's the best-looking science fiction show I've ever seen, it's a lot more realistic in its portrayal of space travel than other SF shows or movies, and it's got an intriguing mystery/detective story at its heart.
I prefer Battlestar Galactica, but The Expanse was great and I definitely recommend it. Marco Polo is a very good show once you get into it. I felt the first couple episodes were a little weak, but I love it now.
Fear the Walking Dead is terrible. It is horribly written and acted and I cannot understand how anyone can watch that garbage.

"Fear the Walking Dead is terrible. It is horribly written and acted and I cannot understand how anyone can watch that garbage."
True.
+1 for The Expanse.
Also worth checking out Bloodline. Completely different but will get you hooked and unlike Marco Polo for the most part, season 2 didn't leave me mostly disheartened.
Then check out UnReal. In my mind Bloodline was the most underrated show, however UnReal is something different and the solid cast got me instantly hooked. Plus I love a show that gives us a kind of behind the scenes version of other shows. Don't write it off till you watch it. I'm a 28yo dude and love it ;-)
