That looks thoroughly ridiculous. Probably quite enjoyable, but as with all things - I will wait and see if it gets past season 1 before watching.

I gave it a chance... It's as thoroughly ridiculous as it looks.

If you like the idea of watching a goofy rock-star like Da Vinci do things he almost certainly never did and in ways that are absolutely improbable, along with fabricated romance and intrigue, you might like it. I gave up on the first episode when Da Vinci was towing someone on a medieval glider behind a horse carriage and laughing whimsically and manically to a metal guitar riff.

Mind you, I've stuck with Grimm for two seasons, so I'm not above watching some goofy s***. This is just a little too goofy, and a really far out interpretation of Da Vinci.

I'm up to episode 4.  It gives me some Sherlock Holmes (Downey Jr) vibes at times.  I like the puzzly nature of it.

 

It's odd hearing Frenchies speak in english accents but you get over that quickly.  I think it's an entertaining embelishment of various Da Vinci "greatest hits"

 

I will certainly make it through the season, given the short length.  Glad it has been renewed too.

ok so.. this is the 2nd season correct? Do I need to go back and watch the first season before trying to get into this one? 

 

Season 2 starts right where season 1 ended, basically a cliffhanger.  You could try and piece things together but I think it'd be best to watch season 1, this show isn't one of those that has stand alone episodes like the cop shows out there.

Blasphemy !!!   

 

(though i have yet to watch the new episode)

 

I just think Da Vinci in this show, is ultra crafty.  It has a bit of a MacGyver feel in that respect but has all the cool period costumes and action that Game of Thrones has.  I must admit I only just watched all 3 seasons of GoT so I missed the hype boat when it was roaring forward.  I suppose it's pointless to compare given the complexity of GoT.

Yeah, I just watch the new episode, and you are right.  It feels exactly like Game of Thrones.   ;)    

If the whole season is like that it would be great.

 

GoT, Vikings and DaVinci,    all entertaining shows..  Game of Thrones started out very good with the first season,  and it looks likt the Vikings and DaVinci are both improving significantly from their much more modest first seasons.

ok so was excited to watch it. Turned on Season 1 Episode 1 with my wife and we were on board... then there was a bunch of gay sex.. lol yeah my wife said turn it off.  So does this happen through out the entire season? Or is this something that we just need to get past in the first episode?

    • Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.
    • Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
