Straight up, the music is on point. Gets you all jacked from the title sequence onward.
loved the first season, absolutely hate season 2 ! the Medici family all look like they belong in Twilight and will turn into vampires at any moment while their arch enemy the Pazzi family look like a pack of ware wolfs lol, ruined the show.
The music is definitely praiseworthy and creates just the right mood and atmosphere. As a period drama, fantasy show, historical inaccuracies aside, they don't claim its a documentary, this is quite a gripping show. In fact I like historical inaccuracies in these shows, without them and without the writers creating fiction, there'd be little suspense and no surprises. :)
I really liked it, it forced me to read more about the characters in real life. I liked how they defined the last chapter of the third season.
I'm so disappointed by this show. Could not even finish the first season.
This was basically Days of our Lives in tights. If you want a hey-nonny-nonny series, watch Da Vinci.
