Season 1 Review: The mystical mumbo jumbo nearly derails the proceedings, but Goyer reins in the hookum in favor of frolicking adventure that's more fun than fact. Read full review

Season 1 Review: To work, this overheated alchemy needs a magnetic Leo, but Tom Riley is miscast--too smart-alecky and brash. [13 May 2013, p.46]

Season 2 Review: Street fighting and strategic hiding alike seem to take place in deep shadows, making some of the action difficult to follow. More like impossible, really, for anyone not fully familiar with season one. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Series creator David S. Goyer seems to be going for exuberance; but Da Vinci’s Demons is never exuberant enough to overcome a crippling combination of leadenness, silliness, and mediocre storytelling. Read full review

Da Vinci 's Demons is a controversial series, more like Game of Thrones than cheap soap operas from Latin countries.

ButDa Vinci 's Demons is a controversial series, more like Game of Thrones than cheap soap operas from Latin countries. The first season really succeeded, most storylines are evenly distributed and intertwined, the season is not stretched, in it as and should be in such projects 8 series. But starting from season 2, everything begins to fall apart, the addition of mysticism, which is loosely woven into the plot never once saves. After moving the action to South America, the series lost its original charm. All that remained was Tom Riley acting. He really didn 't play bad, but I never saw him again. The ending of season 3 is tortured, there is a feeling that the writers themselves already wanted to finish everything. The analogy to carry out with GOT seems to make no sense.
