Very entertaining. I look forward to renting Season 2 in the near future. The acting and storyline are top notch.

A spellbinding historical drama that puts you right in the middle of fifteenth century Italy, where the ambitious Rodrigo Borgia has seized the Vatican throne as Pope Alexander VI and his children - Juan, Cesare, Lucrezia and Joffre - are thrown into an unkind world of heartbreak, war, deception, and power. The story is rich and unforgettable and leaves the viewer wanting more. I recommend it to any history lovers or even those who love action, romance, drama, or just a brilliant story brought to life by fine actors.

Shades of freshman-year Western Civ class! I loved that long-ago course, but it did shock me when we studied the Borgias of Renaissance Italy. Rodrigo Borgia was the Pope, and he contended with restless cardinals and scheming monarchs, plus his children and mistresses. In church history he's known as Pope Alexander VI. "The Borgias" contains lots of blood and gore, but the costumes and sets are great, and so is Jeremy Irons as the Pope. See it if you dare...
