This show is not as good as Spartacus but I like it. Too bad the ratings will keep this show from going much further.

Shoulda just called it Renaissance Batman. But I'm in.

Man, it'd be awesome if Ezio just randomly showed up out of nowhere in the season finale.

Another shitty Ubisoft mindfuck.

I think I'm fully on board with the show now after tonight's crazy episode. Dracula (!!!), the naked Pope laying the smackdown on fools ("My bath is ruined!"), the crazy naked one eyed mercenary preparing/pretending to take a shit in the sauna. WTF the entire episode was so ridiculous and over the top...More episodes like this please!

Fantastic episode this week. So much has happend. My only complaint was that the sex scene was just put there for the sake of nudity :lol

Scenery pr0n. Sorry to your browser.

Great episode. This show is crazy. Loved the Pope dishing out a smackdown. I was worried that the Dracula stuff would be cheesy but it was pretty damn cool.

The strangest thing of all was that Laura Haddock actually kept her clothes on for the entire episode.

I don't think that's fair - I thought that it nicely served to establish Lorenzo's renewed relationship with Clarice. It's not like the episode was lacking in the nudity department without that scene anyway.

After only the first episode. The rating tanked in the following episodes.

The ratings didn't "tank". The premiere followed the series finale of Spartacus, so naturally the ratings were pretty big. After that the ratings returned to the normal Starz level.

Yeah, but it could have been shorter.

I can't believe I'm advocating for shortening sex scenes in a Starz series. I am stupid.
 
This show be crazy....and in a good way. I didn't feel like anything was gratuitous this week (violence or sex) - it's been working well for the vibe of the show.

Probably my favorite episode so far. Definitely enjoy the darker side of the show. Especially the sons of mithras stuff with Alexander Siddig.

Kinda glad my favorite shows (Doctor Who, Arrow, Game of Thrones) from the regular season are closing up shop. I have the episodes of this sitting on my DVR, but I've yet to even watch the premiere. Glad to see it has so much positive buzz and a decent following on GAF.
 
Gotta be stamina? Or motion! Or size...

Special 90 minute episode of Cock Talk.

You gotta problem wit dat? :O

It awakens feelings of various types.

Only when it makes me feel inferior.

Occasionally

I think the show's done a good job at showing a good range of sizes. It definitely isn't like Spartacus where everyone has a horse cock.

I'll have to rewind and see if I'm comparable to Lorenzo, the Pope, or the crazy one-eyed maniac.

Just finished Episode 4. The show isn't out of this world amazing, but it does grow on you. It's pretty much in line with a lot of other Starz shows. Entertaining, but ultimately hollow. Still, nothing wrong with good fun.
 
Da Vinci isn't a Renaissance Era Batman at all. But I am really enjoying this show. Da Vinci versus Dracula was a great idea and I'm glad they did the latter character justice.
 
Well I think I'm done with this show. Feel like it's getting too repetitive and boring. Most episodes Da Vinci just drifts through the episode and finally comes through in the end. Kinda like Dr. House. And I just don't find the characters or story interesting enough to continue.

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of it.
 
Dug this ep with its portrayal of Dracula since its a mixture of the historical version of the guy peppered with the fantasy.

Really liking this series on a whole also (that episode last week was LOLOLOL).

I'm two episodes in and I'm very much enjoying it. I keep expecting to see an assassin run across the rooftops.

Every time I see a specific building I keep saying to myself "I climbed that in AC2".
