I forgot how good this is. The production is simply stunning. George Blagden is an underused actor.
i remember catching an ep of this when on holiday on Canal+ and i was hooked, the wife was very surprised about me liking it lol i thought it was a very good drama, all the back stabbing etc was rather disappointing that it finished with season 3. there is a kind of spin off series Marie Antoinette but i’ve yet to watch that, most fans of the series wanted a season 4.
I thought this was great also. The acting and scenes were amazing. Maybe your comment and mine will prompt someone who never saw it to watch.
If you liked this series, you may like this one. I prefered the Italian version, which is the link I am showing. There was an American version with Jeremy Irons which I did not think was nearly as good. https://www.primewire.tf/tv/111165-borgia
