It's not really their fault that they air during the same weeks, but watching this right after Game of Thrones is tough. The acting talent on both shows are phenomenal, but GoT writing is on another level from The Borgias, although that's not to say this isn't some great writing either, but I think it's much tougher to adapt from a series of novels than it is from history, where you can kind of patch holes in the story with different things you personally want to see, such as SHOW SPOILER the incest storyline. I don't doubt that it probably happened (considering the family, it's not even that bad), but I seriously doubt Cesare and Lucrezia made passionate love. It was probably more like 3 pumps, and he's good. lol. it's little things like that GoT writer's don't have the luxury of adding to their story like Borgias writer's do.
jesus, what a show!
Awesome show, that pope is great ;)

To me, as a fan of "The Tudors", it's just perfect: beautifully shot, highly emotional, wonderfully casted and performed. I've been in urgent need of something like this for some time now.
@kakature Nice pilot deff on par with the tudors
