Last season got off to a rousing start with "The Papal Pear" being graphically employed to punish/execute a sodomite. This season begins with Pope Rodrigo sentencing about 13 Cardinals to "The Jaws of Anguish" for their sins against him and The Church. One's neck is encircled with a yoke while a large screw (attached to a head bowl) is tightened down upon top of the skull until the eyes and teeth pop out followed by gushes of blood. It's always nice to see these historically accurate toys to make one appreciate his birth in the current era.
Season 3 now starts to roll at a rapid pace. Lucrezia has grown and matured while Cesare has become a near wild-eyed war lord in charge of uniting Italy by any means possible. Rodrigo fights to keep his Papacy and gets hooked on tobacco from the New World plus catching a nice case of epilepsy as well. The chicanery continues but the acting, action, violence, and NUDITY have all takes noticeable upticks in this brutal story of The Renaissance Simpsons.
John Doman and cast have pulled out all the stops as 'Borgia' (in its final season) has turned into a nice, well written soap opera with a bit more coherence than the first two seasons. I will hate to see it go.

Reminds me of Mad Men - same characters, all making the same moves, with Giulia's bare buttocks being the only bright spot... really.I think I mentioned to you before that they did lousy job arming their actors - all the weapons are from 100 years later. I am glad they did not give everyone cossack shashkas.

and I think things are amped up for this last season. Apparently the storyline follows the history of the family "somewhat". It continues past the death of Rodrigo.
At the end there is a Coda where all the principles appear (sans costumes) and give comments on the family and their effect on history. Nice touch.
Stick with it.
In many cases simply following the history makes for a very boring, repetitious spectacle. As it is here. Good script should concentrate on interesting events, not simply go from one event to many nearly identical ones.
Anyway, I am still a relative virgin to this last season, done just a few episodes, but so far I switched easily to something else - not a good sign. Nice nudity, I will give you that... and a lot of it, but that, too, becomes repetitious after a while.
You want Jeremy (the Snooze) Irons in his Bogia?
This one has more life to it, I will give you that... but still - tedious... I am clawing my way from episode to episode, they are all repetitious, so I easily switch to something different, Prometheus tonight... then come back to them... I am longing for the end of that dreadful ordeal. There is no risk of binging on this one.
I want justice.

I think this would be a nice way to dispense with the losers. The sound of cracking dental implants, and sight of hair transplants stuck to the cup, would fill my heart with the sense of justice.
There is the antique dealer who routinely has the medieval torture devices on his site, he had that pear once - I thought of you. Wanna link?
