Homeland (2011)
Great show
I thought season 1 was enjoyable, nothing special, it just seemed a bad copy of 24. But season 2 ... WOW ! It's just great. The plot is great, the twists make the series breathtaking, and even the love story between Carry and Brody make sense and is well built( I usually don't like love stories in this kind of series ). I also love how the series shows us indirectly how things work on the upper floors of the government, where we realize that we are aware of like only 5 % of what happenes in our government. The acting by Damian Lewis was fantastic, i thought he was great and I can't wait for season 3 to air, hoping it is as good as this one.
Da Vinci's Demons (2013)
A good idea
But that's where it stops. I was looking forward to see this show, because I thought it would have been a good idea to instruct people of the life of a genius such as Leonardo DA Vinci, but I am quite disappointed.
Da Vinci's life is very interesting on its own and doesn't need to be "Modernized". The flying artificial bird is ridiculous and unnecessary and the portrait of Da Vinci as a Don Giovanni is awfully wrong considering that he had been accused of sodomy in real life.
Having said that the show remains quite entertaining(It looks as if you're watching the Sherlock Holmes films) thanks to the good acting skills and the special effects, but the use of Da Vinci's name is just an escamotage to make more audience.
