that is what shocked me! That left me a bit confused about the legend of Rodrigo's kids and their murderous ways which really weren't exploited or shown to any length. The amount of intrigue to maintain any sort of power during any time period is staggering and this clearly shows it how brutal it was. Not a good sales pitch for the Roman Church, eh?
PS. This had a $33M budget which is a LOT for a made for TV series which was more cerebral than visceral.

Start investing in popcorn... the second season is coming - Victor Khomenko 16:40:05 02/06/12 (4)
Borgia - here I come!

I found it fascinating from the purely historical point of view. I wish I had the quick reaction to catch every little intrigue, as it was, I had to settle for major milestones. Even then it was like watching the landscape from the Bullet Train.

  I long ago dropped all premium cabl;e channels as I am far to easily drawn into couch potatoeism.. I looked this up after reading your drool staine4d report and found there is one with Jeremy Irons as the Z Pope. May I take this as a deliberated perference of the one over the other?
  - Not yet... will report. - Victor Khomenko 06:21:53 02/08/12 (0)
    The Irons series is in queue.
    
    I got side-tracked into watching Spartacus: Gods of the Arena... so far it looks far crappier than the first season... if it keeps going like this, it will be relegated to the trash heap.

    Got confused between the two series - The Borgias with Jeremy Irons - it is now in second season, apparently.
