How true is Netflix's Marco Polo?

I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit but hopefully someone could shed some light on the history of the reign of Kublai Khan and the life of Marco Polo.

I will say this in the hope that someone with the ability will come along and answer with the facts, but I had heard theories that he made a lot of his travels up in order to puff himself up back home.

Any truth in this?
