It's SO wonderful! I love it for all of those reasons, and especially for Lucrezia/Cesare, because they're so stupidly adorable and I hate them. (History did! One of the two reasons I am against the ship is that it probably didn't happen and it's a disservice to their legacies but... can't stop won't stop.)
I AM SO TALKING ABOUT CESARE, HE IS SO HANDSOME IT IS ABSURD. I'm not overly wild about the hair, but oh my god he makes it work. He is so very, very gorgeous.
THIS SEASON IS RIDICULOUS, OH MY GOD.
But how accurate is it? He's forever like, oh no, but this naked woman... she stumbled into my room... it was only polite!
Can't believe you mentioned the Borgias - that was on my mind the whole post, because you were fanning about TV, and I read a recent review of the Borgias and now am dying to watch it! And bwahaha, I love your description of Cesare/Lucrezia. They look fascinating and lovely to me, so I appreciate that you swept away the incest problem with "two reasons not to ship Cesare/Lucrezia, and so many more reasons to ship them." Lol.
Also, I sympathize with your rental problems! I've had very similar ones! I'm supposed to be moving in to an apartment *tomorrow* and I still don't have a lease, or really any acknowledgement at all that I've turned over more than $3k to get this place! Currently the plan is to show up after work and call the super's cell, and hope he comes out to give me a key.... Cross your fingers for me plzzz!!
It's SO GOOD, you should give it a try! Cesare and Lucrezia are both fascinating and lovely, and, honestly, if the show hadn't intended for people to ship them THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN WHAT THEY WROTE
NOR SHOULD THEY HAVE CAST FRANCOIS ARNAUD AND HOLLIDAY GRAINGER.
Oh man, that's worse than me! That is super stressful, I'm so sorry. I hope you have receipts and stuff for the money you've put down. Fingers tightly crossed for you!
Completely addictive! I watched the whole show in a week. I'm a history geek, so I looooooove all the political/papal intrigue, but not as much as I love the badass ladies and my babies Lucrezia and Cesare.
Lucrezia is my favorite by far. I love watching her reactions to things, because she's so passionate and clever. And what I find interesting/frustrating about the show is that you can know if you look on the wiki (or, um, get Borgia biographies on your kindle) but sometimes they're like HISTORY WHATEVER.

It's kind of addictive. I'm staying away from season 2 or forget about it, I'm in for the whole season. So weird. I don't care about the papacy!

I think I watch it just for Lucrezia. And I honestly never know what's going to happen next on that show.
