We watched the first season of Medici over the last couple of days.
And it wasn't my thing. First of the music is too loud compared to dialogue. There was also something strange going on with how it was filmed. The depth didn't work for me. Things were either in sharp focus or very blurry, nothing in between. Combined with the lighting it often looked like the actors were in front of a green screen. Which I found very distracting.
Then most of the actors didn't even look remotely Italian (Dustin Hoffman, really?). Also, I don't think I've ever seen Richard Madden act in a role where he has to smile.
Finally, the story just didn't interest me. So my sister will probably continue watching, but I won't.
