Medici (2016–2019)
10/10
High quality show about Italian history
24 July 2019
Usually I don't write reviews because of my bad English. But this show is so great but underrated, so I make an exception. If you like tv shows about history, Medici is a must-watch. The story takes place in Florence, Italy, in the 15th century. I don't want to spoiler the plot, so I only name some of the topics: Family, intrigues, politics, religion, arranged marriage, bankers, war, aristocracy - all in all, everything a good historical tv show needs. Even though it's an unknown show, it looks like high-budget. Most actors are unknown but very talented - I'm sure some of them will have a great career. But there are also well known faces like Richard Madden, Sean Bean and Dustin Hoffman. Most actors are British or Italian. The costumes look authentic. Most scenes are shot in real Florence, so the scenery is very authentic, too. A special commendation goes to the music. This is the only show (and I watched many of them) where I never skip the outro. All in all Medici - Masters of Florence reminds me of the Kings Landing storylines in the first Game of Thrones seasons, especially the scenes with Tyrion, Litllefinger, Cersei, Tywin and the rest of the gang. So if you enjoyed that, I'm sure you should give Medici a chance.

Sorry if my English was too bad, and thanks for reading!
