Review of The Borgias

The Borgias is a series of episodes that would most appeal to those who are 21 and up and for those who enjoy intrigue and historical type drama. The Borgias is not for the faint of heart. The series reminds me of "The Godfather" with a papal twist. However, the pope is not the Godfather, Cesare Borgia is. The pope's daughter in the series comes off sweet and innocent. Yet, in reality, she was more like Cesare and extremely ruthless. In essence, she was her brother's sister. I enjoyed all three seasons of the Borgias. It was good to keep most of the episodes just under an hour in length. Each episode made me look forward to the next. I was disappointed not to see a fourth season which would hopefully take me to the death of Pope Borgia. The episodes demand your entire attention. These episodes are good for prime time and anytime. So enjoy with a glass of wine.
