The Borgias

Anybody else watching this? It's almost near the end of the first season already (9 episodes) but it's been renewed for next year.

Jeremy Irons is fantastic as Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI), chewing up the scenery like nobody's business.

It's been quite fun matching up all the characters from Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood with their counterparts in this show

Nearly finished the 1st season! I thought I had it in 'myepisodes' with a reminder but sounds like I don't! I'll have to get on this, looked good from what I remembered.

Am interested in watching it, looks a bit like Pillars of the Earth which was ace.

One of the best shows of the year IMO - nice to see the second season looks even better!

Anybody watching season 2?

I've only just managed to catch up with the first four episodes, but they are all excellent.

Episode 1 was awesome, if only for...

SPOILER:
Prince Alfonso's particularly nasty death, and the french King's reaction: "It's almost harmonious..."

I remember the BBC original with Thunderball's Adolfo Celi as Rodrigo Borgia.

Hmm, that was a few years before my time

It's been renewed for season 3.

I believe season 2 begins on Sky Atlantic in the autumn.
