Had some laughs in this episode but they are wasting Emmanuelle Chriqui

Not sure if I'll tune in for season 2.

^ Everything about this season was a waste. It had so much potential but it was just.....there.

Red Dog

at the potency challenge.

I'll definitely be back for S2. Really enjoyed this show.

I'm torn on this show. I liked it, but can't disagree with the opinion that it's "just there". It's well-produced and acted, but it's not a show I necessarily look forward to seeing. It shows up on my DVR, I get around to it at some point in the week, and don't think of it much otherwise. I'll watch next season, but I don't see myself caring too much when it ends.

I don't know. It seems childish to put this series down because it doesn't contain over-the-top sex and violence like other recent period pieces (GoT, Spartacus, Camelot). Like many of Neil Jordan's movies, this series has a deliberate pace to it. There's an inherent issue with stories based on history - lack of surprise at what will happen to many major characters - but there certainly many examples of series that overcome this. Maybe too many of the major characters are unlikeable? The Pope, his sons, and all the Cardinals are a nasty lot, as are the supporting cast of nobles. Only Lucretzia is likable, which is ironic since she has the worst historical reputation. I do enjoy Jeremy Irons' turn as Pope Alexander - this kind of thing is right in his wheelhouse.

Boba Fett

So, did Ezio show up in this episode?

PopcornTreeCt

Never saw an episode, but did Emmanuelle Chriqui ever get naked?

Sort of, but not quite. Her scene at the beginning of episode seven is worth watching.

CRM114

Me too. Jeremy Irons was excellent. The dude that plays the French King was really good too. Actually, there was a lot of good performances.

Groucho

Loved the interaction between Alexander and Charles.
