In a world where thought and faith are controlled, one man fights to set knowledge free. The secret history of Leonardo da Vinci's tantalising life reveals a portrait of a young man tortured by a gift of superhuman genius. He is a heretic and sceptic intent on exposing the lies of religion. An insurgent seeking to subvert an elitist society. A bastard son who yearns for legitimacy with his father. He finds himself in the midst of a storm that has been brewing for centuries. A conflict between truth and lies, religion and science, past and future. His aspirations to improve his position in life bring him into contact with the two opposing forces of the time - the Vatican and the Medici family who both try and lure him onto their side. Leonardo must take up the fight against foes who use history to suppress the truth. A hero armed only with his genius, da Vinci stands alone against the darkness within, and the darkness without. Facing an uncertain future, his quest for knowledge nearly becomes his undoing as he explores the fringes of his own sanity. Da Vinci uses his unparalleled genius as a weapon against his enemies and emerges as an unstoppable force that lifts an entire era out of darkness and propels it into light. His story becomes a mirror into our own world, calling us all to join his fight to Free the Future. (2 Entertain Video)

Season 1 – 90% – David Goyer had a dream where a Renaissance Dark Knight appeared to him, and to my not unsubstantial surprise, this vision actually came to life. The Italian world flourishes with every episode, and thanks to the atmosphere of captivating mystique, the perfectly charismatic Tom Riley, or the pleasantly slimy Blake Ritson, it is a joy to unravel all the puzzles or try out inventions humanity is not yet ready for. Season 2 – 90% – More sophisticated than it might have seemed with all the twists and turns, promised enemies, invisible allies, and new locations. The scripts play with history so skillfully that fixed points in history are only gently shaken, planting a few doubts in the viewer's mind. Combined with the friction between Leonardo and Riario in dialogue, it creates a perfect path full of adventure, sea salt, jungle dampness, and pleasant chills down the spine. Only a slightly rushed ending and the fact that the shocking twist in the last minutes seemed obvious to me for some time hold back the maximum rating. I'm not sure if I want to see such a change of direction in a series that is still completely fresh. Season 3 – 90% – After two episodes, the mysterious web of the previous narrative collapses, and the demons of the main hero take on purely warlike contours – only to quickly return everything to the old tracks full of visions, dreams, predestination, and mystique. Thank goodness. The intensifying friction with the Labyrinth is much closer to me, and at every step, it can be felt that Leo's mission is coming to an end. And it is an occasionally painful, occasionally surprisingly entertaining end (amazing plotline with Sophia), but above all, fateful and thrilling, exactly as the owner of the most talented mind of his time deserves. The world of ancient Florence remains a charmingly magical world for me, but I appreciate it even more for how sincerely all the friends, enemies, and loves of the main hero search for their place in the world. And sometimes, that is the most difficult science.
