Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.07: “The Vault of Heaven” is limited by its multiple stories
The problem in this case is that this is an episode of DVD that needed to be completely focused on Leonardo’s trip into the Vault of Heaven. More
-
Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.06: “The Rope of the Dead” is exactly what Starz should be looking for
Starz knows exactly what it needs. “The Rope of the Dead” is that thing. It is the perfect blend of high octane action, visual spectacle (enhanced by a little bit of sexiness, of course) and powerfully emotional character beats. More

Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.05: “The Sun and the Moon” finally reaches the New World
After introducing the idea in its first season, Da Vinci’s Demons showed a great deal of narrative potential in the journey that would take Leo across the ocean to find the Book of Leaves. More
-
Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.04: “The Ends of the Earth” is an entertaining mixture of stories
What strikes me most when considering “The Ends of the Earth” is how the episode (and this season, by extension) manages to engage the viewer while Leo and Riario–arguably the series’ two most compelling characters–are so far removed from the events occurring in Italy. More
-
Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.03: “The Voyage of the Damned” is a solid piece-mover
Like the series it just replaced in the Starz line-up, Black Sails, DVD has a huge world to explore. Naturally, it would make sense that more episodes would mean a fuller exploration of that world. More
-
Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.02, “The Blood of Brothers”: Weirdly structured, surprisingly moving
For as much fun as Da Vinci’s Demons is sometimes capable of being, there hasn’t really been a moment in its early run that’s been moving–a scene that has executed a payoff after building emotional attachment either to a character or situation. More
-
Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 2.01: “The Blood of Man” is an action-packed season premiere
“The Blood of Man” earns a bunch of credit for being a satisfyingly action-packed return to this world. Florence is on the brink of collapse, the Medicis are in death’s line of sight and Leonardo can’t catch a break. More

Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 1.08: “The Lovers” brings the debut season to a close
Da Vinci’s Demons, Season 1: Episode 8 – “The Lovers” Directed by Michael J. Bassett Written by Brian Nelson, Corey Reed and David S. Goyer For those of you not following along, that’s Zoroaster and Nico up there with very what-the-fuck expressions. Nico looks downright peeved. While the thoughts going through their heads might […] More

Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 1.07: “The Hierophant” – Trial by Water
Da Vinci’s Demons, Season 1: Episode 7 – “The Hierophant” Directed by Michael J. Bassett Written by Sarah Goldfinger and Corey Reed Airs Friday nights at 9 on Starz After a week off, Da Vinci’s Demons returns just as bat-shit crazy as ever. In this penultimate episode of the season, most of the show’s weaknesses and […] More

Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 1.06: “The Devil” is a friend of Vlad the Impaler
Late in its recent third season, The Walking Dead aired an episode – “Clear” – that really didn’t serve a purpose in the context of that season’s arc. The main conflict was put to the side in favor of a more removed episode, which at the very least had a chance to make the viewers more anxious to reach the climax of the season. More

Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 1.05: “The Tower” – Leonardo da Vinci to the Dark Tower Came
So, to continue the trend of piecing together seemingly unrelated things in these Da Vinci’s Demons reviews (I consider this completely appropriate because of the outrageous fashion in which da Vinci solves his problems in this show), let me turn your attention to Bruce Dickinson’s song, “The Tower,” More

Da Vinci’s Demons, Ep. 1.04: “The Magician” – History is alive
Da Vinci’s Demons, Season 1: Episode 4 – “The Magician” Directed by Jamie Payne Written by David S. Goyer and Jami O’Brien Airs Friday nights at 9 on Starz Something that might interest me more than it should is how seemingly unrelated shows can connect on any given week, much like how Leonardo reminds Clarice […] More
