I'll be skipping this one. While this one seems to be sticking more to the facts, I feel like I've seen way too many things about Leonardo, right down to children's programs!
ReplyDeleteIt is not a very original programme, especially as we had Da Vinci's Demons a few years ago.
DeleteAs usual, I wonder who will show it in the States. There is so many good stuff being made in Europe like Leonardo, Shadowplay, that medieval thing that it's being made in Spain and none of it is coming to America.
ReplyDeleteThey will all be sold to US, sooner or later, but US does not appreciate programmes of quality, Oktoberfest and La Revolution did not even enter top ten at US Netflix, just Barbarians. They prefer crime and gore.
DeleteWas this put on hold because of Covid? I feel like we've been waiting years for this one.
ReplyDeleteThey've actually shot most of it before corona, and then just continued earlier this summer to finish it. Their set was an example of how to shoot under quarantine :)
