Entertainment: Da Vinci's Demons - A Review

Pictured: Genius.

I love watching a lot of television series. Mainly because of the fact that unlike movies, you could get to watch another installment without ever having to cry out "boo" because you find one part better than the other as with a lot of movie series. It is tailored in a way that would make its audience entertained as well as keeping them on the edge of their seats for what is coming next week. And with these things being said, one brand new series has captured my interests and probably a few people more. This new television series ladies and gentlemen, is Da Vinci's Demons. And with the first season already wrapped up and season 2 starting up in March of 2014, this is truly a new show to watch out for.

What is it?
Da Vinci's Demons is a television series depicting a fictional account of the life of the genius man himself, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (which literally means Leonardo, the son of Ser Piero from Vinci - a town in Tuscany). It was conceived and written by none other than David S. Goyer (Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel) which can be attributed to the series' dark elements. The shows casts Tom Riley as Leonardo da Vinci which at the start of the series, was only 25 years old.

What makes it awesome?
There are actually a couple of things evident in this series that makes it a very good show to watch is the fact that it shows a time in our history where a lot of things that can be commonly found today were once just concepts and ideas by Leonardo along with some of the geniuses that lived during the Renaissance era. If you are a fan of these kinds of stuff, you will surely enjoy watching this wonderful series.

Another good thing about this series is how they gather a lot of their material from history, which makes it pretty accurate (aside from a few facts like date and time which is off for a few months or years only. Though there a few details which were changed for fictional purposes, the detailed accuracy of the shows is still pretty amazing.

The cast is also a good thing to notice about this whole series, they glue in together. Characters feed off each other's energy, and production somehow made everything work like it should be. The conflict, the comedy, everything about the organization of the characters in this series is so intense that you will really get to feel the same way each character is feeling.

Verdict:
At this point in time I haven't really written about anything that I don't like - yet. So for Da Vinci's Demons I would probably rate it 9/10, with one for improvement. Not that I am not satisfied with how the show has become, it's just that I think they are just starting out given that it is only the first season and I know there will be a huge improvement when season 2 arrives. I also hope they would increase the number of episodes to a couple (12 or maybe more) because 8 is just too few. So hold your horses folks and hop on to the Da Vinci's Demons bandwagon.
