OUTSTANDING ACTING
The acting, on the part of the individuals who play the French King, the young prince of Naples, and the preacher Savonarola, is nothing short of breathtaking. Even if this series takes a few liberties with history, it is nothing short of masterful! Re: the French King's performance, in particular, I haven't seen such fine acting since Bob Hoskins played Iago in the BBC production of Othello and Eric Stoltz played Shelley in Haunted Summer. WOW!!!
