Tom enjoys finding good series on Netflix, and he loves historic series. That's why he highly recommends the series "Medici the Magnificent." Tom says: This Netflix original series recounts the rise of the Medici family from their humble origins as a family of wool merchants to a powerful banking and political dynasty by the 15th century. The plot has twists and turns, murder, revenge, and of course, hot bedroom scenes. The recreated CGI images of Florence in the late 1400s are extremely well done.
The portrayal of Lorenzo as this romantic,
sentimental, patron of the arts rubs a bit with my misconceptions that I
had always had of him. SPOILER: Although Lorenzo begins to shed this image at the end of season 2 with the horrific murder of his brother Giuliano in the Duomo. Unlike other recent historical fiction series, this one remains pretty much true to the historical record. I wish that I had known more of their story before our recent trip to Italy. I think that I would have had an even deeper appreciation for some of the places we visited. I can't wait for Season 3.
