Da Vinci’s Demons: The Complete First Season - DVD

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!
