I know two billion people have said this already, but I dont think many people under the age of 25 would care for this series if we had not played Assassins Creed.
I'll admit, it was AC that got me interested in the Crusades, the Borgia family, and the Ottoman Empire.
I can't understand why so many people here have to discus wheter or not Assassins Creed is relevant while talking about "the Borgias". AC is a damn good game and "The Borgias" is a realy great TV Show. And, by the way: Yes, of course is AC not historicly acourate, but please-"The Borgias" isnt either. It trys to be but it does a lot of speculation and dramatising. Let's just enjoy both the game and the series. :)
i made a term paper on Pope Borgia. i haven't seen the series yet but according to my research, the Borgias are what they seem to be in this series. such a disgrace to the Vatican.
It would be funny if they paid homage to Assassin's Creed in the Borgias (I've never seen this series) like an assassin in a hood tries to kill one of them and fails embarassingly. Anyways I do admit that AC brought me here, but I am very interested in watching this series, even if it sucks. Since they all ready have a Tudors, I thought it was a matter of time before they depicted another drama-filled and interesting historical family in a TV show. I must see this!
Lol.. on the other side says they want Ezio in this film, and the other gets angry and RAGE!!!!!!!!!! Is this film any good? I mean how interesting is it?
I saw this series and found it an embarrassment to call myself a Catholic. It made me wonder why I am a Catholic and for sure, I do not believe in the Pope. The current Pope in the Catholic Church is no prize.
@dancamb1 i don't know much about Catholicism for I am protestant, but I know not all catholics are like that. You do not have to be embarrassed about your beliefs as long as you follow God first, before the pope or church.
@DanteandLady4ever thanks, I appreciate your comment. You are so right, I do believe in God and in Jesus Christ and that is all that matters. I also couldn't agree with you more as to your comment about the current Pope. I am more of a Christian than a Catholic.
@geoper2 Or we can watch both? I myself is european and I prefer this version. The european series is called just "Borgia" but there is a movie named Los Borgia.
@geoper2 The spanish movie "Los Borgia" is the worst version, I know it better because as I said in others comments I am spanish and I see the movie in original version, I can say the actors are very bad. About the series "Borgia" I say it is sometimes boring (but more real than this version). Then I think like you. For me the best adaptation is "The Borgias" =)
Watch the real version, not this watered down crap on showtime. If you have Netflix, Type in Borgia. Both Came out in 2011. This one I believed was released in Spain. All English cast tho, so dont worry about subtitles.
Never before has a series made so many people that I love and also ones that I hate! I seriously hope they kill off the horse woman nun, she was in the Tudors too, and her horse face still annoys me. Also the younger brother of the cardinal, when the French were shooting cannons I was praying he would get hit!
Will all of the idiots making references to Assassin's Creed kindly fuck off? The game is completely fictional, whereas THIS program attempts to depict actual recorded historical events. Ezio is NEVER going to show up, because he never existed. For fucks sake, the teaching of history in this country has failed utterly and completely.
@dkrustyklown Everyone knows hes not real dude. Plus Assassins creed is historical fiction so it has real events happen with in. Maybe you should play the game before saying crap about it
@imalreadybossin Did I say anything about the game other than that it is completely fictional? What "crap" did I say about the game? I was attacking the people here who won't shut up about the game. Maybe you should read a comment before replying to it. BTW, name-dropping historical figures does not make a work of fiction "historical". For a work of fiction to be historical it must posses a historical context. That game has no historical context. Golden apple, really?
@dkrustyklown I did read your comment so you cant say i didn't. the whole point of the game is to show a way how all majors religion intertwine with each other. I'm not saying its realistic, but historical fiction means using historic people, settings, and events to tell a fake story. It it was real then it would be considered nonfiction. I'm just saying dont get upset when people talk about the game because the games came before this show aired. Also respect other peoples interests.
@dkrustyklown you are a fucking idiot, the teaching of history in this country has failed utterly and completely? Ezio Auditore da Firenze is fucking a legend, regardless that he is a fiction character, with such charisma, class, swag etc. If you had played the game you'd realise what I'm saying, this series would be far more popular if it were related to Assassin's Creed.
@andrew0swag Ezio Auditore is a fucking video game character, and that makes him totally irrelevant to any discussion about history or art. Your feeble attempt to make him relevant is the product of your feeble mind. You're too ignorant and too stupid to know any real history, so the only thing that you can relate to is a video game. It's too bad that people can't talk about the Borgias without pathetic losers such as yourself chiming in about a shitty video game character.
@shrimpfarmersunion Actually, the story presented here is faithful on many levels to the recorded history. Now, don't confuse recorded history with the truth, because recorded history often does not record all of the truth. The story presented in the series incorporates many of the rumors that scandalized the Borjia family in the 16th century. The Borjias took steps, like any powerful family, to protect their reputation, but the scandals were very real and, likely, very true
@shrimpfarmersunion Which parts, precisely, are sensational and ridiculous? There is fiction, because in ANY dramatization there has to be fiction to fill the dialogue, but the framework in which the dialogue rests true to history or to what some people of the time claimed was true, with the emphasis on "people of the time". Don't forget that how history was seen in the past is itself history.
@shrimpfarmersunion The events are real, though. There was an Aragonese (Spanish) cardinal named Rodrigo Borjia who became Pope. For a pope, he had many illegitimate children including Cesare, Lucretzia, and Juan. He had several mistresses, including the famous Fernesi mistress. This pope sided against the king of France in a dispute over the throne of Naples. France invaded Italy. The Pope navigated a precarious situation as a series of wars erupted over the matter.
@c884251likklpoo I saw them too. There are two TV series based on the Borgia family. They are unrelated to each other.
You watched the french one. This one is the US one. (Well, both are made in Europe, but one is for a french tv channel, and the other for an US tv channel.)
I recommend you watch this one (the Showtime one), it's far better.
ceasar borgia photo was painted by michael angelo to make people think jesus was a white man, it was done during the renaissance, they painted all the israelites white and destroyed 85% of the original black paintings all over europe, europe used to be ran by black king and queens, white people call it the dark ages
in my opinion it does not come close to the tudors, But it's still a good series, I like to see them, (regards from germany, Please excuse my bad english)
@Daintygrace789 Personally I didn't really fall so much for the Tudors, I watched... can't remember, but a fair share of their episodes. It was interesting but got kinda tiring. This series however got me stoked just after the first episode.
.....except, both are based upon real life events and people, therefore neither can really be deemed a copy of another as it is simply a remake of historical events.
and tbh, I liked Borgia more than Tudors. It was more devious in my opinion.
@CristallButterfly, thanks. i finished watching the series recently with XFinity On Demand and it's simply a great historical drama. The acting from everyone was superb, especially Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons. Very well-researched, with less than 20 historical errors, as listed on a movie website. The sets actually looked real, in srark contrast to the obvious CGI sets in Spartacus: Blood And Sand.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that St. Peter's was built by the Medici Pope in the early 1600s while the Borgias were in power almost 100 years earlier. Machiavelli does refer to their actions in 'The Prince' which was written for the Lorenzo di Guliano de Medici
@vikramkrishnan St. Peter's was built by Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici (Pope Leo X), who reigned from 1513-1521. Rodrigo Borgia was two Popes before, reigning 1492-1503. Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici lived from 1492-1519 and Machiavelli dedicated the Prince to him.
@Hopeless03@vikramkrishnan I think that you are mistaken, you speak about the new basilica, San's Pedro former basilica is the one that appears in the series and the adjustment is very good to as it is believed that it was. Up to this moment I thought that there was better made San's Pedro European version, but this version has a mistake. The porch was added in xvi. Probably I am the one who is wrong. =) Maybe my english is bad, sorry. I am Spanish.
@vikramkrishnan St. Peter's was built by Julius II beginning in 1506. Julius was pope after Rodrigo Borgia and "The Prince" was written for Giovanni de' Medici (Leo X) and his cousin Guilio (Celement VII) after supporting the new regime of Florence. It was an homage that was unsuccessful, seeing as he didn't regain favor with the Medici.

@ShadowCatNZ Dude, you do realize that the Characters in AC, are real people right? Except for Ezio. The Borgia's are real people. So instead of history ripping off AC. AC is ripping off History. Just sayin.
this was an actual pope,the whole firs tseason has already played on showtime if you download you can see season one without waiting for ctv to show it.canadian tv is so behind. glad theres internet to watch. awesome show. a must watch
I hate how they try to glamorize the Borgias. Cesare and his father commited incest with lucrezia. they also frequently used a poison called cantarella, to assassinate people who politically got in their way. they crafted lucrezia into a sharp political tool as a seducress, to get politicians to do what she wanted them to do. lucrezia also had a ring that was hollowed out like a locket filled with poison, so she could easily slip it into her victim's drink when they weren't looking.
@popojohnson2424 I don't think they are glamorizing them. I think the point of this series is to show their crimes. Believe me, I'm no fan of the Borgia either. Although I have to admit, from a political and military perspective, Cesare Borgia was brilliant.
@ToyzInThaHead Actually, if you read into Machiavelli's history,you'll notice that Machiavelli didn't really mean any of the things he said in the Prince. I have read The Prince and seen that a lot of what he says makes sense but in truth, Machiavelli be trolling. He wrote the Prince as a Satire. A satire you can learn shit from but still a satire (Italians had a completely different sense of humor, I don't get it either).
@Killzoneguy117 glad that your not one of those Assassin Creed people who doesn't know shit about history, anyways I feel that the show does "glamorize" the Brogia's, especially Cesare, I mean he is describe to be cold and arrogant, but in the show it shows him actting like a good son, a protector of his younger siblings (especially Lucrezia), I did see a little bit of his dark side but not enough to make me hate him......I actually like the guy's attitude for the most part
@TheRedemptionRain Yeah. The thing about Cesare was that he was either really hated or really loved but feared all around. I agree with you that showing him as his sister's protector and what not is a bit of a stretch. Although he did in fact serve as a kind of protector for Lucrezia although that was only for his own gain of sleeping with her. Its said that he was obsessive about her, sometimes even killing her husbands so that he could have her. I hope they show that bit.
@Killzoneguy117 LOL yeah, but his reason for getting rid of his sister's 1st husband, Giovanni Sforza was because in the show he is seen to be abusive, cruel, and he raped Lucrezia. She told Cesare and Rodrigo, and then big brother came to the rescue by kidnapping her husband and took him to Rome, where Rodrigo can break of the marriage between them...........I think that in season 2 that they will show that Cesare is more than a loving brother maybe just a lover..........SICK BASTARD xD
@TheRedemptionRain That is so not true. In history, Cesare killed Sforza out of Jealousy. I understand that they are trying to dramatize the Borgias but now I see your point about glamorizing them.
@Killzoneguy117 I know for a fact that Pope Rodrigo filed for divorce for his daughter, but the Borgia family did in fact piloted to kill Giovanni, I look into wikipedia it says that he died of old age but I didn't see any reference so yeah, the show does makes the Borgia family look more good then bad, however this is a great show, I watch the whole season and can't wait for the 2nd one, the whole season was on youtube for more than 4 months and then it got taken down
@popojohnson2424 hahaha i could instantly tell you learned that from assassins creed brotherhood :D unless you're like an actual historian but otherwise AC brotherhood FTW!!!
@popojohnson2424 I suppose a family that poisons together stays together lol. I wouldn't go as far as to say it glamorizes the borgias. I mean there would be a fair chunk of the story that isn't exactly true but it does shed a light on the somewhat dark side of the catholic church. In saying that, it doesn't take much to do so.
I know two billion people have said this already, but I dont think many people under the age of 25 would care for this series if we had not played Assassins Creed.
I'll admit, it was AC that got me interested in the Crusades, the Borgia family, and the Ottoman Empire.

@Hopeless03 Thanks, but I thought I saw St. Peter's in the background

@Hopeless03 @vikramkrishnan I think that you are mistaken, you speak about the new basilica, San's Pedro former basilica is the one that appears in the series and the adjustment is very good to as it is believed that it was. Up to this moment I thought that there was better made San's Pedro European version, but this version has a mistake. The porch was added in xvi. Probably I am the one who is wrong. =) Maybe my english is bad, sorry. I am Spanish.

@vikramkrishnan St. Peter's was built by Julius II beginning in 1506. Julius was pope after Rodrigo Borgia and "The Prince" was written for Giovanni de' Medici (Leo X) and his cousin Guilio (Celement VII) after supporting the new regime of Florence. It was an homage that was unsuccessful, seeing as he didn't regain favor with the Medici.

@vikramkrishnan I think Maquiavelo refers to Fernando II de Aragón, more important than Medici's...

I hate how they try to glamorize the Borgias. Cesare and his father commited incest with lucrezia. they also frequently used a poison called cantarella, to assassinate people who politically got in their way. they crafted lucrezia into a sharp political tool as a seducress, to get politicians to do what she wanted them to do. lucrezia also had a ring that was hollowed out like a locket filled with poison, so she could easily slip it into her victim's drink when they weren't looking.
popojohnson2424 7 months ago 19
@popojohnson2424 I don't think they are glamorizing them. I think the point of this series is to show their crimes. Believe me, I'm no fan of the Borgia either. Although I have to admit, from a political and military perspective, Cesare Borgia was brilliant.

@Killzoneguy117 He was the inspiration for Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince".
ToyzInThaHead 6 months ago
@ToyzInThaHead Actually, if you read into Machiavelli's history,you'll notice that Machiavelli didn't really mean any of the things he said in the Prince. I have read The Prince and seen that a lot of what he says makes sense but in truth, Machiavelli be trolling. He wrote the Prince as a Satire. A satire you can learn shit from but still a satire (Italians had a completely different sense of humor, I don't get it either).
Killzoneguy117 6 months ago
@Killzoneguy117 glad that your not one of those Assassin Creed people who doesn't know shit about history, anyways I feel that the show does "glamorize" the Brogia's, especially Cesare, I mean he is describe to be cold and arrogant, but in the show it shows him actting like a good son, a protector of his younger siblings (especially Lucrezia), I did see a little bit of his dark side but not enough to make me hate him......I actually like the guy's attitude for the most part
TheRedemptionRain 6 months ago
@TheRedemptionRain Yeah. The thing about Cesare was that he was either really hated or really loved but feared all around. I agree with you that showing him as his sister's protector and what not is a bit of a stretch. Although he did in fact serve as a kind of protector for Lucrezia although that was only for his own gain of sleeping with her. Its said that he was obsessive about her, sometimes even killing her husbands so that he could have her. I hope they show that bit.
Killzoneguy117 6 months ago
@Killzoneguy117 LOL yeah, but his reason for getting rid of his sister's 1st husband, Giovanni Sforza was because in the show he is seen to be abusive, cruel, and he raped Lucrezia. She told Cesare and Rodrigo, and then big brother came to the rescue by kidnapping her husband and took him to Rome, where Rodrigo can break of the marriage between them...........I think that in season 2 that they will show that Cesare is more than a loving brother maybe just a lover..........SICK BASTARD xD
TheRedemptionRain 6 months ago
@TheRedemptionRain That is so not true. In history, Cesare killed Sforza out of Jealousy. I understand that they are trying to dramatize the Borgias but now I see your point about glamorizing them.
Killzoneguy117 6 months ago
@Killzoneguy117 I know for a fact that Pope Rodrigo filed for divorce for his daughter, but the Borgia family did in fact piloted to kill Giovanni, I look into wikipedia it says that he died of old age but I didn't see any reference so yeah, the show does makes the Borgia family look more good then bad, however this is a great show, I watch the whole season and can't wait for the 2nd one, the whole season was on youtube for more than 4 months and then it got taken down

@popojohnson2424 I suppose a family that poisons together stays together lol. I wouldn't go as far as to say it glamorizes the borgias. I mean there would be a fair chunk of the story that isn't exactly true but it does shed a light on the somewhat dark side of the catholic church. In saying that, it doesn't take much to do so.
