The production values are really really good. So if you are a fan of the Renaissance period in general you need to watch it. But it is kind of a murder mystery/political thriller, so it's kind of cool. Kind of in the same vein as house of cards.
However, I caught myself thinking to myself "Oh look, someone is trying to wreck Robb Starks life again." LOL

I just finished Season 3 when I saw there was one a few days ago. I thought Season 1 could be hard to follow at times and a bit boring. I had to look up some history on things that were going on to have it makes some sense. However, Season 2 is much better than Season 1. I thought it was magnificent. Tonight, I just finished Season 3. Also better than Season 1. It was a bit darker but still very good. I'd have to vote Season 2 the best of the three, but they are both very close.
Don't think there's going to be another season from what I've read. If you've read the Rise and Fall of the Medici's there's not a whole lot after that period that would make great drama imo. They'd have to butcher it too much.
You should see all three, especially the second one, which is excellent and follows the history pretty faithfully, unlike Season 1.
It's a great series. I loved famous historical characters such as the artists, both daVinci, then Michelangelo as a teenager in Season 3. Then the women who posed for Botticelli's famous Birth of Venus painting and many of his other paintings, the cousin of Americus Vespucci in Season 2. Season 3 we see Machiavelli. Being an art school grad, who had to study that period it was right up my ally.
