The Borgias (2011–2013)
3/10
falls apart
24 March 2024
It started off soo well...it had soo much promise...halfway through...you could already tell it was doomed...

it's hard not to talk about the other show BORGIA that is more or less telling the same story...it's hard not to compare these two...

many people agree that the other show was better and i go agree yes...but where the other show tried to tell the story of the borgia family in totality taking account the full context and history...this show picked and chose only what served their story...and i controversially support that decision...

it ensured that they could tell the story their own way on their own terms...and it was going great...until it wasn't...somewhere it started to feel like something was missing...

characters. Decisions didn't add up...choices did make sense...so the show's best quality came to bite it's own head...

the pacing isn't great...they also do linger on insignificant stuff...just like the other show...

the dialogue here though is pretty good...it's well written...the handling of plot though isn't...there's repetition of story beats...dialogue about sabotage instead of being wholesome will be divided into two parts making the second feel like a repetition...

not very well actualized...
