It was difficult to pinpoint where to fileDa Vincis Demons.
Da Vincis Demonsseason 3 collapses under the weight of its own cleverness at times, though.
The season never really shed any light on the Book of Leaves business or the Sons of Mithras.

This was truly Tom Rileys finest hour as Leonardo Da Vinci.
Where Da Vinci stood for reason, ol raspy voice himself Girolamo Riario, represented faith.
Riaro was the only man in the series who was truly a believer in God and the Church.
The rivalry continued this season as Rairo was responsible for much of that behind the scenes machinations we discussed.
Riario was a potent and complex villain in a show sometimes bogged down with bad guys.
And of course there were the constant threats of the Turks.
It did establish the Turks as credible threats.
None of the cast got shortchanged this season.
Zoroaster was at his swashbuckling best and in fact, kicked the season off in hilarious fashion.
Season three was also served well by pretty much keeping the focus on Italy.
I just cant leave this show without crediting the people behind the scenes.
The attack on Naples in the first episode of the new season was truly a sight to behold.
So take that bow gentlemen, while never a masterpiece, damn, wasDa Vincis Demonsfun.
