There are many good things about this show that make it worth watching and worth following.I'll try to go over them one by one. First, It is based on a real human's life.Leonardo Da Vinci was undoubtedly the most intelligent human of his time,and one of the most intelligent human beings ever,so it is proper and just to give him the due respect by dedicating a show so that people who don't know him,can learn about him as much as they can. This show does that.It brings the history with a nice touch of change.The actors taken for this show also do it justice.Tom Riley is an extremely good choice for the main character,and he absolutely fits. Historical shows are always good if they can teach you as well as can provide some kind of enjoyment.This show accomplishes that.It has the potential to go ahead and become the number one show on TV. Another good thing about this show is,that they chose a character with a lot of room.Da Vinci was the most versatile of humans of his time.He was a writer,a painter,a sketch artist,a philosopher,a poet,an Anatomist,an astronomy student and had great interest in anything that was natural.He was a scientist too.He was so versatile that he could be made to look like a super-hero quite easily without changing his personality much.And i see that the writers have managed to accomplish that too. All in all,I strongly recommend this show for people who like to learn and study as they watch shows.I also recommend it for people who like the cinema made in the old times.If you like shows like Spartacus,Game of thrones,Camelot and Legend of the Seeker,You WILL like this show.
