SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

grantss The rise to power, and start of a dynasty, of the Borgia family. Rodrigo Borgia ascends within the Catholic Church, becoming Pope Alexander VI. The position brings with it many enemies, internal and state-based, and he has to use all his abilities of diplomacy, ruthlessness, charm and the power of the church to stay in power, and alive. Luckily his children are equally ambitious.Great series, based on historic events. Captures well the precarious nature of Pope Alexander VI's position, and of a ruler in general, plus the state of flux Italy was in at the time. The diplomacy and alliances aspect is well explored.Some good intrigues and action scenes too. Good character depth and development.Solid performances all round. Jeremy Irons is superb as Rodrigo Borgia / Pope Alexander VI.

Keira German This TV series is unbelievable. The acting, the sets, the camera shots, the music, the story, the humour, the suspense and the action it provides: I don't think I have ever been so amazed by a historical drama as by this one. Jeremy Irons as the Borgia pope, Sean Harris as the brutal assassin Micheletto, Holliday Grainger as the sweet but cunning daughter of Pope Alexander VI, David Oakes as the vicious lady killer, the second son of Rodrigo Borgia - all add to the authenticity of the plot with their perfect acting: the characters couldn't be more alive. However, it is Francois Arnaud playing Cesare Borgia, who stands out the most with his breathtaking performance. His every move, gaze, looks, voice is incredibly genuine: Francois Arnaud IS Cesare Borgia in this TV series. No matter what he does or says, you must love him for who he is. Of course the screenplay is brilliant at every single word but it is Francois Arnaud's excellence that brings life to the whole script. Unfortunately, as the historical basis itself was very dark some of the topics in the drama are not suitable for younger viewers, especially because they are plainly and quite vividly depicted on the screen. Sexual immorality, homosexual love, the vicious fight for power, revenge, incest, fratricide and gore at all level make the film suitable only for viewers over 16 (and are not squeamish), but they can learn a lot about the true ways of medieval papacy, religion, crime, loyalty, love and suffering, riches and poverty, family life in general. History and human behaviour couldn't have been brought to life any better than in the Borgias. Congratulations to all the cast (especially Francois Arnaud), the director, the screenwriter, the composer (the music is incredible) and let's hope Season 4 will come to finish this marvellous story.

SM Jefferies I loved "The Borgias" and was really upset when it was canceled. I'm a total history nerd and the renaissance is one of my favorite time periods. This series is not just about the characters, but about life in the early renaissance. As far as historical accuracy goes, the writers did take some liberties, but it's still a thousand times more accurate than "The Tudors" ever was. For example, Machiavelli was actually a very young man, not the mature man he's portrayed as. And Ludovico Sforza was a refined patron of the arts, not the raging barbarian he's portrayed as. Season 1 is fantastic, but the first few episodes of season 2 felt like it was written by people who'd never seen the show for an audience who'd never watched it before. Scenes and conversations that were already played out in season 1 were basically repeated in season 2. There was also an episode where the characters take a tour of the city and talk to each other about what life is like during the renaissance. I felt like I was watching a documentary and I half expected a professor to step into the screen and address the audience directly. After these disappointing episodes, season 2 got better and the rest of it was just as great as season 1. Since the show was canceled during season 3, I was worried that it would end without resolving most of the story lines. Although the last episode ends very abruptly, all of the loose ends are tied up and whatever happens next is left to the audience's imagination. It was a satisfying ending, but historically, there's much more left to be told. Nevertheless, if you love history, you'll love "The Borgias". After you're done watching it, read about the real people and about the rest of the story this series leaves untold.

jfarms1956 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.
