Luciano B My favourite depiction of the Borgias to date! The production, the cast, the music and the writing are all superb and captivate me in a way I never expected. Easily one of my all-time favourite series and I loved it from start to finish!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member unfortunately i cant give this season 5 stars due to not getting a real ending to the show but it is still worth every second Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The third season of 'The Borgias' loses a bit of steam towards the end due to some pacing issues and some recurring elements that carry over from previous seasons, but it is nevertheless an incredibly crafted series that never fails to surprise and entertain. It is thus one of my biggest disappointments that it will likely never see a fourth and final season. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I will combine the reviews of both Borgia shows. I watched them during the same time comparing them episode to episode I want to say I didn't hate either or really dislike either, but I didn't really like either. I can't give stars that portray sorta like so I will give 3 to each. My first issue with BOTH stories is that after doing some research on this family I don't think either portrayed them in a truthful manner. I take issue with any movie/show based on real people that doesn't stick to the facts. I realize how hard this is to do especially when dealing with history. Nevertheless the writers should put more effort in to it since how you portray people on screen is how people will perceive them. I should say people who aren't historians or familiar with the subject. I also understand the need for embellishment for entertainment purposes. I believe for this reason people should stick to fiction. IF the embellishments don't reflect the true character of the situation or people the story is about. It is unfair to embellish when it turns a based on "true" story to fiction. The shows. The showtime show I liked the Cast a bit more, with the exception of Caesre and Juan. I began thinking I would prefer this Caesre but by the end I changed my mind. As far as Juan goes I didn't like the character on either show but the netflix Juan was more tolerable. Lucrezia in the showtime version was smarter than the Lucrezia on the Netflix version. She was more mature. The pope Borgia on the showtime version wasn't as pathetic and weak as the netflix version. I didn't like the way he was portrayed on Netflix version at all. He was vile, gross and he didn't really think for himself the mistress did. What kind of weak ass shit was that? I failed to mention that Lucrezia on the netflix version was a whiny idiot who seem like a little girl trying to play a woman in a game little girls play like dress up or something! Caesre from showtime seemed so obsessed with his little sister it was gross and it seemed to push most of his decisions as if he had no brain of his own. I liked crazy diabolical Caesre his motivation was clear..no matter how crazy. He loved his sister and there was some incest but it didn't drive him, or consume him. It he TV show didn't make a storyline around it. I could go on and on about other characters like Julia.. But I touched on the main 4 that mattered to me. Overall both were disappointing. I like the way netflix ended it the show. The showtime ending was stupid. My reviews are simple.. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/07/15 Full Review Audience Member Indeed, there may be some historical precedent for His Holiness' use of the "first person plural" in his formal speeches and letters - but its consistently irritating use whilst ignominiously jousting in bed with his divine papal whores is quite another conversation. Three seasons of Jeremy Irons and the annoying Holliday Grainger (Lucrezia) is plenty - "we" believe. In the end, cliched and lightweight dialogue from writers Neil Jordan, David Leland and Guy Burt poisons this would-be heavyweight historical fiction. Season three's finale "The Prince" hangs us all out to dry, the shows producers deservedly fall on their swords and the series is prematurely cancelled - good riddance to this incarnation of the Borgias !
