With such a glut of period pieces consuming the airwaves as of late, David Goyer's Da Vinci's Demons is a fresh change of pace and worth a watch. As with many of the made for premium cable shows, there seems to be a need to have a weekly R rating quota for every episode that is so gratuitous it sometimes takes away from a very strong story continuity. Other than that, the characters are rich in their depth from the heroic to the sinister. Not having the Starz network, I bought the first season on a whim and easily found myself caught up until the end. ...now I gotta wait until the next boxed set.

While I have Starz on DirectTV, and I stumbled across this program, I just couldn't wait to see what I missed. So started again by buying the DVD of Season 1. Watched it, and watched it again, and am drooling for Season 2. Truly UNIQUE attempt at taking a historical figure and creating an alternative time/story line. IF your a Game of Thrones fan; you'll enjoy DaVinci as it appears more realistic than the fantasy of "Thrones".

I am actually reviewing the blue ray edition which has an excellent audio-visual presentation, and loved the show so much that I also picked up the DVD edition to have as a collector's item. Sale prices were very appealing so I picked up each edition. If you haven't considered checking out this new series, just watch season 1 & 2 trailers & I'm sure you'll be hooked right away!

Very entertaing show. Enjoyed seeing what some if Da Vincis invetions posdibly looked like and how they worked. I also like how they incorporated other historical figures like a young Nicoli Machovelli and Vlaf the impaler. The cinamaphotography is nice in that it attemps to show how Da Vinci possibly viewed the world around him.

This program is so well put together that it flows seamlessly. I have always been a big fan of Leonardo, but this program has brought him to life. It shows not only his brilliance, but also the man behind the art! I love this DVD so much that I watch it over and over again!

For anyone who likes history and biographies of historical figures, this one has an interesting take on the life and times of yo9ung DaVinci. Although there is some historical facts, the writer's take on the adventures of Leonardo is quite interesting it was fun to watch.

Got this first season set at an amazing price from Best Buy, the actors and set designs are awesome in this. Wish the season two DVD set would be out already. The story in this is really good, totally worth it if you get it at a good price.

If you are looking for an engaging drama, with new twists and fresh drama, DaVinci's Demons is sure to be your cup of tea. However, those looking for historical accuracy may be disappointed. Sit back and enjoy and let these demons trap you.

DaVinci and his genius have always been a mystery, but now due to this series a better understanding or sort of fill-in-the-blanks has occurred and I can't wait to view the subsequent Seasons to get the answers.

Thought that it is well written except for a few items that made me say, "what the hell was that?". A good depiction of the time DaVinci was around, and made excellent use of his talents, inventions and thought patterns.

Amazing. I was hooked from the first episode! A word of warning though as no one warned me: the nudity in this show makes True Blood look like Sesame Street. Great story though. Well played.

A great concept based on an interesting historical character. A bit hokey at times, but overall an entertaining series. Great scenes and costumes.

Friend referred it, I was a little hesitant, but, glad I bought it. Like story line, was a little predictable. Not for the staunch Catholics if there are any left.

A very cool, stylized take on a historical figure. Obviously heavily fictionalized but a very fun ride, especially for a Starz show.

This is a unique and interesting take on the original Renaissance man. And no, its not about demons! At least not the supernatural kind.

This series is fulled from start to end with substance and plot twist abound. I thought the acting was amazing and the use of imagery amazibg
