Interesting but not at the right time perhaps.

6.0

By emeraldcity, May 30, 2013

It is genuinely interesting to think of who they were historically, but I don't think we needed a long episodic show just to get that point. It drags on and goes from 'hmmm look at that' to 'when is it going to end', probably also due to the fact it isn't in step with these times and is largely artistic license in terms of who was like what back then and who said what to whom back then. It should have been a mini series-that would have passed the acid test of public opinion, I think.moreless

Not Good enough?

By nahga1, Apr 23, 2013

elinsner you don't know what you're missing.

you've watched six episodes but now we're in the third season. you could download the shows you haven't watched and i suggest you give the borgias another chance. this show has everything.

i hate it when i put time aside to watch a show and things seem to drag along or to be predictablle, it seems all shows have some predictability but the borgias keeps getting better and better and has some shockers you really won't see coming. you really should get caught up. i think you'll be hooked.

Not good enough

5.0

By elinsner, Apr 17, 2013

With shows out there like the Tudors and Rome, this show just isn't up to snuff. I turned it off after the first 6 episodes because it was entirely too predictable.

good start but too much sex instead of plots

5.5

By IdaWong, Sep 16, 2012

i guess one would have guessed anything with jeremy iron would be disappointingly full of sex scenes and not enough plots. or is it the writer to blame? it was good to start with. a waste of a good story and some of the cast are fantastic. really it could be done more tastefully. a bit less breasts would have been better.

if you disagree with me, you can count the partions of sex scenes vs other kind of scenes. it is more than 30%. even corruption of bad clergies ( which i am no fans of) could have told of their treacheries with less sex scenesmoreless

By Babyjuice96, May 30, 2012

All I can say is Jeremy Irons.He truely knows his acting craft and always becomes the character he portrays.The rest of the cast is great also,but he is one that makes the show pop. More seasons please.
