    It's still a bit chintzy, though--it simply can't support the scale it craves. Yet Da Vinci just might have purged enough creative demons to be, at the very least, a guilty geek pleasure. [21 Mar 2014, p.59]

    There's a lot happening all at once and not all of it even makes that much sense. It may never help you pass a history test or win accolades for Starz, but Da Vinci's Demons is still a whole heck of a lot of fun.

    In short, myriad things are going on all at once, some of them barely making sense, but all played with gusto by the talented (mostly British) cast.

    Street fighting and strategic hiding alike seem to take place in deep shadows, making some of the action difficult to follow. More like impossible, really, for anyone not fully familiar with season one.

    It's not hard to love this show if you can handle the fact that it's fantasy. Assassin's Creed gets away with it pretty easily. It's a littleIt's not hard to love this show if you can handle the fact that it's fantasy. Assassin's Creed gets away with it pretty easily. It's a little bit of history with fun, magic, boobs, and lots of action woven in. It's Sherlock meets Game of Thrones.

    Suspend your disbelief, and enjoy the action!    … Full Review »
