The sexual tension that has grown between Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia erupts in episode 3 series 3 of The Borgias – is it only a Borgia who can love a Borgia?
Today we are spoiled in terms of content and acting performances on our television or movie screens. The worry is we may end up having many ‘great expectations’
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. That’s not how the head of the Borgia family Pope Alexander VI aka Rodrigo Borgia (Jeremy Irons) sees it – ‘Vengeance is ours’
Bring it on Showtime. Knowledge is Power. From Director Neil Jordan comes tales and stories of the dastardly Italian Borgia dynasty, one of the most infamous families of the Renaissance in Italy. This is a family whose code was certainly to take no prisoners.
WOW, was all I could say when I viewed the trailer for The Borgias, the next blockbuster from Showtime, which brought us The Tudors, one of the most fabulous television series of all time. This new series will star one of my all time favourite actors, Jeremy Irons, as Pope Alexander VI (1431 – 1503), best known for his corrupt rule. What he lacked in morals he made up for by trailblazing intrigue with a capital I.
