Superb writing, great pace! All the build-ups lead to the climax.
This is a crime family, they do really bad things, but they have inner conflicts too. It makes the ending of ep. 3 more difficult to watch. In my opinion, The Borgias has a more balanced main cast than Camelot. I can find obvious weak links in Camelot, but The Borgias main cast is alright. And there are not many PWP sex scenes in The Borgias.
