Da Vinci's Demons (2013–2015)
7/10
Strats horribly, but progresses to be an exciting interesting show!
9 November 2014
What started out as a ludicrous show, progressed over time to become quite intelligent and interesting.

As I sat through the first few episodes of the show, I had a hard time suspending my disbelief. In the show, Leonardo Da Vinci is not only the famous Renaissance man of art and engineering, but also a kind of superhero, handsome Casanova, gifted swordsman and athlete extraordinaire. Meaning not only does he solve problems with his incredible mind (which he uses like a super hero uses his super-sense), but by becoming this mcgaiver/batman/James bond. Not only this, but during his adventures he encounters every possible fable and scientific discovery from any and all ages- form discovering the Americas, to fighting Dracula. That is Leonardo!

But beyond these ludicrous adventures, the second half of the first season, and the second season after that actually have a very good script including plot twists, surprises, intrigues and good storytelling. As well as good acting, camera work, production, editing and some really good fight scenes! So what started out as total garbage has now become a very exciting interesting series, which I do recommend watching. Just bare through the nonsense of some of the earlier episodes.
