I am a very-very picky member of audience. I like reality-related shows, and it should be "make-believe closer to 100%". It is hard for me to do not notice sloppy jobs, as I am a scientist. Before this serial I had only 2 serials which passed the line "good" for me (Sopranos and Mad Men), so I am glad to watch it. I would not watch anything with poor performance and poor director's work. Most of series (I am 51 now, I had a quick look at many of them, trust me) did not pass one episode on me; 3-4 series I watched for 1-2 seasons, but they did not survive on me: either stories get too silly, or cheesy, or attention to details is too sloppy. Da Vinci's inquest passed for me to the "greatest job I ever saw on TV" - acting is great not only for the main guy, but for every single small role on the background, operator job (not being shy to obstruct the view or do not bother showing what should be there), attention to the details (people are mumbling like real people, CSI wear and act as the are supposed to, bad guys are not 100% bad, good guys are not 100% good, dead people look dead, weather is real, etc). It seems that a very good professional was in control of this production. Too bad it was discontinued. The team deserves recognition, for sure.
