Da Vinci’s Demons is a great show to watch even if it’s only for the eye candy – and there’s plenty, in every way – but there are also great performances by Tom Riley as Our Hero, Blake Ritson as the evil Riario, Laura Haddock as Lorenzo de Medici’s mistress, and Lara Pulver as his wife Clarice Orsini, who will be getting more screen time tonight, as the intrigue progresses.

Check out the beautiful voice of the evil Pope talking with his equally evil nephew here, and you’ll also hear them mention the mysterious, and perhaps supernatural, Book of Leaves:
