Da Vinci's Demons - TV Series 2013-2015

Title: Da Vinci's Demons
Rating: 7.5/10
No.of Seasons: 2
Status: Complete

Set during the age of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci, This show is a heavily fantasised version of the events that took place during his time and how he influenced them.
Leonardo Da Vinci (Tom Riley) a genius with dreams of greatness gets involved in plots he has no business being in. Due to him being in service to the house of Medici and his indispensable nature, He is often the target of plots and conspiracies mainly forged by the impostor, Pope Sixtus (James Faulkner) and his subordinate Girolamo Riario (Blake Ritson).
Explaining too much about this show will give away important details,
Perhaps the best thing about this Series is the acting of Blake Ritson as he plays a completely icy cold blooded killer in the form of Count Riario. Not even the acting of the main protagonist compares to the extremely professional acting done by the former. Also the Sherlock-Moriarty type relationship between Leonardo and Riario is enough to send shivers down one's spine.
Some scenes among many others, Deserve the praise of the masses.
With so much conspiracy to frighten a Borgia, This show is truly a must watch for those who are fans of medieval themed shows like Game of Thrones.
