Season 1 Review:
Less amusing is the sense that the makers of “Renaissance” seem to think they’re revealing all this history to a viewership emerging from its own Dark Ages. But even Renaissance scholars will be entertained by this PBS-by-way-of-BBC presentation. .... “Renaissance” is really the Michelangelo story, with the usually marvelous Charles Dance appearing intermittently.

Season 1 Review:
Charles Dance, with white Catweazle hair, made a bewitching elderly Michelangelo in Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty (BBC2), addressing his monologues to camera with wild blue eyes. The non-speaking actor bits, though, added little to the party. .... The second episode focuses more directly on the art, with excellent talking heads, from Antony Gormley to David LaChappelle.
