It's rare that you find a series nowadays that has it all - but as far as I'm concerned & I've seen my share, The Borgias does. They have done EVERYTHING right on this show. Created by our own Neil Jordan (I am Irish btw), it is rumored o be one of the most historically accurate period pieces on tv. From the casting, to the Hungarian sets, to the sumptuous cinematography to the writing & direction, every episode left me wanting more. The only gripe was they only made 3 seasons! Jeremy Irons is perfectly cast as the power hungry, lecherous, scheming Pope Alexander VI who will do anything to get what he wants but also to keep his family together as they are outsiders to the whole of Italy.
Absolutely well worth investing in the box set!!
