Jeremy Irons. The Borgias. It's gorgeous. And I'm going to watch it (I can't not watch it) and it's going to screw up the history and I'm just going to get all kinds of pissed off and then will stop watching it in a huff. Just like while watching The Tudors.

Though the point that pushed me over the edge with The Tudors was when they married

Looks like the beginning shot is of a Corso-style ball, which I totally want to throw someday...

The Tudors history was all kinds of messed up, but it was still fun to watch. (It made my crush on Jonathon Rhys Myers, Yummy Boy, dwindle and fade, mind you, and left John with a compulsion to destroy England in Medieval Total War.)

I am ashamed to say I know very little about the Borgias.
