The Borgias review – 3×10: ‘The Prince’

June 17, 2013 by couchpotato

“Winter is coming.” No wait…I’m confused about what show I’m reviewing. Ironically during this final episode of The Borgias, Caterina Sforza (Gina McKee) says it. Perhaps she’s a Game of Thrones fan. Unfortunately for viewers, this line sadly foreshadows the end of the series.

The Borgias review – 3×07: ‘Lucrezia’s Gambit’

Hello my fellow Borgias fans! First I must apologize for the late recap. I wish I could say I was doing something fun this weekend, but I was moving, and getting blank stares from the cable guy as I begged him to hurry so I could see who is crowned the King of Naples.

The Borgias review – 3×05: ‘The Wolf And The Lamb’

Flesh. Eating. Eels. Ugh, just when I thought Naples couldn’t get any worse, The Borgias proves me wrong with a scene so graphic I could barely watch. And not graphic in the good, incestual romp kind of way.

The Borgias review – 3×04: ‘Banquet of Chestnuts’

In the latest episode of The Borgias, our anticipation of the worst morning after is confirmed, we get introduced to the beginnings of a Crusade, and we may never eat chestnuts again.

The Borgias review – 3×03: ‘Siblings’

This week’s episode finds Caterina Sforza (Gina McKee) making a ballsy entrance, puts the Pope (Jeremy Irons) in position to collect some French friends to battle the Sforza alliance, and hosts Lucrezia’s wedding/wedding night (though not with the same fellow).
