Da Vinci's Demons (2013)
A pleasure to watch, great acting and beautiful locations.
This one has everything going for it. They make use of the known facts about his life, add some Hollywood magic and embellish things a bit and you have a success in the making. The nudity is perfectly balanced, they show medieval sex as it was with bisexuality being quite common. The cgi was very good, some scenes looked a bit like they came out of a computer game but that i can forgive. I give this one 9/10 and will add it to my list of must-see's. Its up there with game of thrones people, so lean back and enjoy because i think this will be the first season of many. I just hope that they can build a good storyline that will keep people coming back each week, but after seeing episode one i cant wait for next week to come. Its weird but i get some kind of Sherlock Holmes vibe when watching this character, or maybe not so weird considering both had superhuman intelligence.
Lilyhammer (2012)
Kinda like home!
Since i live in northern Sweden, this show is basically filmed in my back yard, and that only makes it doubly interesting. They really managed to capture the "small Scandinavian town feeling", adding to the overall greatness of this show. OK maybe the comedy could be better, but hey there's always season two. I wont post any spoilers but this movie is really portraying the cultural differences in a fun and witty way and it makes me think of winters @home (Go Skelleftea)!! So if you don't know what to watch next i really recommend this one! Zandt does a great job playing the mobster and Norwegian actors are just great too. Enjoy!
The Andromeda Strain (2008)
This is as good as they come....
Just finished watching part one, and all i can say is that i cant wait to devour episode two. The acting is superb and they have spared no expenses, the settings and stages are top notch and the cgi is up there as well. Since I've only seen the first episode i cant really comment on the overall story since its only just starting to unfold and the overall feeling is that there's lots of things that has yet to happen. All i can say is: This has so far been very enjoyable, had this been released as a movie it still would have held me in its grasp, keep in mind that it would have been 3+ hours. If you are looking for some time to kill and really want to treat yourself, go with this one. Just don't do as i have done, wait until you can watch all the episodes back to back instead. Coz now i have to wait for the next one to air and i REALLY want to know what happens next... and there you have it. I rate it 8.8/10.
