After the first season, I'm satisfied. It’s true that the creators failed to make me excited, there were a few dull moments and even the better episodes felt like something was missing for me to give a higher rating, but it was decent entertainment most of the time. ()
The first series has a very slow start, but after two or three episodes, even The Borgias can become an audience-pleasing affair. As the clan climbs the popularity ladder, each of them soon makes it clear that they are not taking their name in vain. Cardinal Cesare, his sister Lucrezia and above all their father, His Holiness Rodrigo... An interesting look into the early Renaissance, wonderful costumes, and short trips outside the Vatican. Acting wise, of course, Jeremy Irons and his two wives, the ever-attractive Joanne Whalley and the spicy Lotte Verbeek. ()
