In case you didn't read last week's thread, this was renewed for a 3rd season.

I am finally caught up. This show is getting better and better (though some scenes are a bit unbelievable i.e. Lucrezia being left in charge). I really like Cesare out for vengeance. Nice.

Glad to see that rat bastard Sforza offed.

I could have done without the Micoletto scenes however.

...and once again, I see even The Killing is getting more thread action than The Borgias!

It was an awesome kill scene but I thought they were aiming for a little more historical accuracy than that.

Complete your thought, please.

Re: The Borgias -- "The Choice" -- 5/06/12
 

Cesare didn't kill Sforza. In fact Sforza outlived Pope Alexander VI.

Yeah, they're really playing fast and loose with history.

This is basically a soap opera made with historical figures.

Spartacus sort of does this, too, but there's a lot less known about Spartacus and his times than the Renaissance period depicted here.

I never watched this with the presumption of historical accuracy. But I did presume they would keep the major historical events in order.

I don't know the history at all, so it works for me. ;)

Is The Tudors the same way?
