Tale of 3 seasons
Season 1 was excellent, great acting, good story lines, good script. Overall an excellent season.
Season 2. Definitely no where near the first. It's weak I'm all the other areas that season 1 was strong. This time it's the Pazzi against the Medici and most of the main characters look barely out of high school. Lorenzo is no Cosimo although he is suppose to be the Medici savior.
In season 2 the acting is less than stellar and plots are weaker and predictable. It misses a character like Dustin Hoffman.
Season 3. Better than 2 but not as good as 1.
Overall I enjoyed the series very much but season 2 seemed to be way off the mark.

This show deserves way much more appreciation
Such an underrated show, and i prefer it over other historical dramas like The borgias and Tudors.
Richard madden and Daniel were amazing and fit for the characters.
The show gave me assassin's creed brotherhood vibes, which made me love it even more.
Loved storyline, the historical period and settings.

Enthralling Viewing
Let me start by saying that I simply don't understand how this series seems to have been largely ignored by mainstream media. It has a devoted fanbase, but hasn't really taken off. Given the quality of the show, that's a travesty.
Anyway, about the show. Through all three seasons, with the changing cast as generations pass on, the quality of acting has been stellar. Actors are well cast and do a superlative job of bringing characters to life.
Needless to say, the stunning backdrops in Italy are magnificent. The productions values are right up there too, whether it be costumes, sets, whatever.
And a grate theme song by Paolo Buonvino and Skin.
If you haven't watched this, you really should!

I love this series!
I really enjoyed season 1 and 2 of this series. And I am impatiently waiting for season 3!
There is just one thing I need to say. I am so tired of people complaining that series like this are not good because they do not follow the exact history of these people and this time. I am a History student and I truly love shows like this. That the history is not completely accurate does not mean you can not enjoy this. Sovstop jammering about this!

Great Show, one problem
I love period dramas, and I particularly like the idea of a drama centered around the Medici family. Acting is great, story line is great. There's one problem though, the audio engineering is HORRIBLE. It's often difficult to hear the dialogue, even when it's not being drowned out by the overbearing score. It's just not mixed well.
Did you know
- TriviaMany scenes were shot in Florence. Thus, the scenes inside the Florence town hall (Palazzo Vecchio) were really made there, but against the background of frescoes performed a century later than the characters really lived.
- GoofsWhile the makeup of the Signoria is shown to be relatively static, in fact, members served only two months.
