The first two episodes are great. It's definitely a watch for me.

The first episode aired for those that didn't have a sneak peek (gotta love my girl working for TW she always brings home neat things). So what did you think?

I found it boring while watching last night so switched it off and finished Dragon's Age II instead .

Ooh will give it a go. So they must be taking the Godfather literally.

Saw it and quite engrossed, though the Pope wasn't as devious as I thought he would be; seemed to be more his son doing the plotting. Still, I enjoyed it and will definitely finish it, especially with Neil Jordan directing and writing.

I enjoyed it and will watch. FWIW, I liked it more than Camelot - less than I am certain I will enjoy Game of Thrones most (but I'm a GRRM fan, so whaddya expect?).

I have been extremely impressed with the look of the show. While the camera is not bouncing around all over the place, it certainly is showing off Renaissance Rome brilliantly.

As for the whole Borgias vs. Camelot vs. Game of Thrones? Three quasi-historical costume dramas is an embarassment of riches and I plan to make the most of it and watch all three regularly!

There is essentially nothing that I was currently watching anyway, apart from True Blood (which remains on hiatus until late June/early July).

So these three shows are a breath of fresh air to me!

I've been particularly enjoying how subtle Irons can play. He's too often a scenery chewer.
