Da Vinci's Demons: The Devil review round-up

Some great reviews have appeared over the weekend for Friday night's episode of Da Vinci's Demons broadcast on Starz - The Devil; including the first positive one from Screen Rant and a brilliant one from IGN "Oh boy! This is getting good" - they found the whole thing hilarious.

Da Vinci's Demons seems to be settling into itself a bit more, giving us a good balance between Leonardo's crazy adventures and the politics of Florence's conflict with Rome. io9.com
