“Sneaky Pete,” produced by “House’s” David Shore and Bryan Cranston, was initially developed for CBS, and those roots show. [...], this introductory hour feels like a traditional network procedural with a top-flight cast, hardly anyone’s idea of a show that’s ready for Amazon Prime time. [...] “Casanova,” meanwhile, would seem to need no introduction, and offers plenty of built-in excuse for sex and nudity. Moreover, it stars Diego Luna in the title role and was directed by “Amelie’s” Jean Pierre Jeunet, which on its face looks like a coup. The resulting hour, however, blends in with a whole array of less-distinguished period dramas – as if Starz’s “Da Vinci’s Demons” had a not-as-interesting child with “The Tudors.” - Brian Lowry, Variety [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
