has anyone watched the new television series "the borgias" on showtime? caught it on the plane to london the other day and i thought it was awesome. it's like a visually beautiful representation of the 48 laws of power ha. history, politics, religion, and sex all intertwined into one show.
for those not familiar with the borgia family, the series depicts the corruption and politics behind the pope (rodrigo borgia) and his family during the renaissance period. pope alexander aka rodrigo borgia and his family are spaniards who buy their way to power and have to face the scheming italian cardinals who put them into power in the first place.
when i watched this show i was reminded of this forum somehow. i thought a lot of the people interested in history/politics on here would enjoy it or already watch it.
