Read the book to get the true story
This version of Borgia is so far from historical truth with names changed, relationships rearranged for what? THE FAMILY by Mario Puzo is a 1400page turner. I recommend reading the book as the true story is fascinating. This is lukewarm soup in comparison. The choice of actors makes it even harder to watch. An American playing a Spanish Pope? You'd think he'd at least try to have an accent and sound Spanish! Many people, unfortunately, rely heavily on historical films as a frame of reference and expect a certain amount of accuracy. If this was titled as a fictional account of a Pope that never existed, then I would rate this higher. I find it interesting and entertaining wondering just what is going to happen next...as in how far will the writers stray from the truth to keep viewers watching. Enjoy, it for entertainment purposes.score 4/10
