What kind of weak ass shit was that? I failed to mention that Lucrezia on the netflix version was a whiny idiot who seem like a little girl trying to play a woman in a game little girls play like dress up or something!Ĭaesre from showtime seemed so obsessed with his little sister it was gross and it seemed to push most of his decisions as if he had no brain of his own. He was vile, gross and he didn't really think for himself the mistress did. I didn't like the way he was portrayed on Netflix version at all. The pope Borgia on the showtime version wasn't as pathetic and weak as the netflix version.

Lucrezia in the showtime version was smarter than the Lucrezia on the Netflix version. As far as Juan goes I didn't like the character on either show but the netflix Juan was more tolerable. I began thinking I would prefer this Caesre but by the end I changed my mind. The showtime show I liked the Cast a bit more, with the exception of Caesre and Juan. It is unfair to embellish when it turns a based on "true" story to fiction. IF the embellishments don't reflect the true character of the situation or people the story is about. I believe for this reason people should stick to fiction. I also understand the need for embellishment for entertainment purposes. I should say people who aren't historians or familiar with the subject. Nevertheless the writers should put more effort in to it since how you portray people on screen is how people will perceive them. I realize how hard this is to do especially when dealing with history. I take issue with any movie/show based on real people that doesn't stick to the facts. My first issue with BOTH stories is that after doing some research on this family I don't think either portrayed them in a truthful manner. I can't give stars that portray sorta like so I will give 3 to each. I watched them during the same time comparing them episode to episode I want to say I didn't hate either or really dislike either, but I didn't really like either. I will combine the reviews of both Borgia shows.
