I'm a lover of the time period in which the Borgia's, the Medici, the svorzas were the talk of Italy. the story of Rodrigo and his family has been more than intriguing, BUT in this particular series, i couldn't be immersed in the time period or in the characters. my reasons? the acting seems like "acting". over the top melodramatics made me feel like i was watching a Mexican soap opera. the accents were terrible and too distracting. Rodrigo had a harsh American accent that made me feel like i was waiting for a push by Smucker's jam to buy their product. his two sons, Cesare and Juan had two totally different accents as well as his daughter Lucretia and her mother. with one person speaking in a harsh American tone, another in an almost french accent, and then another sounding Spanish and another being an almost olde English, i honestly couldn't focus on the story or what was going on because everything seemed so... wrong.
