Vita di Michelangelo - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Il David
After his family had settled in Caprese, Michelangelo was sent to nurse in Settignano by the wife of a stonemason. At school in Florence he was fascinated by the masterpieces of Brunelleschi and Giotto and fought against his father to devote himself to art. At the court of Lorenzo de'Medici, where he was called, Michelangelo was able to be followed by the best masters. After the death of Lorenzo de 'Medici he spent a period in Rome and returned to Florence in 1501: he then sculpted one of his masterpieces, the David, made from a single block of marble.
La Sistina
Michelangelo would like to sculpt the funeral monument of Julius II, but the pontiff commissioned him to paint the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo escaped to Florence and Bologna, in the tent of his armed opponent, finally allowing him to take on the enterprise. Dramatic events follow one another, such as the death of Julius II, the descent of Charles V, the siege of the Lanzichenecchi. Michelangelo, although devoted to the Medici, puts himself at the service of the Republic. Having laid down his arms after the pardon of Clement VII, he places his hands on the sculpture.
Il Giudizio
In 1534 Michelangelo definitively abandoned Florence to move to Rome, where the new Pope Paul III confirmed him the assignment for the Last Judgment, which aroused heated controversy in the clerical sphere. For the Marquise of Pescara Vittoria Colonna Michelangelo painted a Crucifixion: the Marquise had introduced the artist into a cultural circle frequented by personalities of the time who advocated a reform of the Catholic Church. After the completion of the work on the tomb of Julius II, Michelangelo gradually abandoned painting and sculpture to devote himself to architecture, with projects for San Pietro, Palazzo Farnese, the Church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini.

Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
Rick and Morty
Rick is a mentally gifted, but sociopathic and alcoholic scientist and a grandfather to Morty; an awkward, impressionable, and somewhat spineless teenage boy. Rick moves into the family home of Morty, where he immediately becomes a bad influence.
Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
Bergerac
Bergerac is based on the original series created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran for nine series on the BBC between 1981 and 1991. The modern re-imagining will honour the iconic detective drama, but with a contemporary twist. Unlike the original hit from the 80s, the new series will see one character-led murder mystery run across all six episodes, in place of a new storyline each episode.
Viewers will meet Jim Bergerac as a broken man, grappling with grief and alcoholism following his wife's recent death. His mother-in-law, Charlie, is concerned Jim isn't putting his daughter Kim first and, when a woman from a wealthy Jersey family is murdered, Jim must fight through his personal struggles to become the formidable investigator he once was.
With a troublesome convict resurfacing from his past, Bergerac is required to call on his sharp investigative instincts and past successes to navigate the intricate family dynamics, and watchful eyes of the police force, in order to solve the case.
