I really enjoyed this TV drama. But remember that is what it is.
I have read and researched the life of Leonardo da Vinci and had to put all that away to enjoy this production.
A couple of things that struck me were the fact that I had understood that Leonardo was blond and also I can't find any reference to Caterina de Cremona in any biography I have read. So his being accused of murdering her seems to just be a figment of a scriptwriter's imagination. It works as part of the series but seems off somehow.
As I said before, I can certainly recommend this as entertainment but please don't take it as historically correct.
