Da Vinci's Demons (2013)
Truly Disappointing

The advertising trailers were intriguing. However, the first episode not so much. I'm afraid the sci-fi/fantasy category was due to the lack of knowing what how to write a show based upon a man's life rich with intrigue. There are hints of brilliance that quickly vanishes;i.e. flight of birds released from a cage.
The factual accuracy was quite disappointing. Taking advantage of conflict between Da Vinci and the Medicis or even the Church as a background story was completely missed. Da Vinci was experimenting, exploring and exploiting all the areas that were taboo. Now, this would make good drama.
