Plots(1)
The Borgias return for more seduction, schemes, and outright villainy in all 10 riveting episodes from the second season. Jeremy Irons is back as Rodrigo Borgia, the power-hungry patriarch of the Borgia clan, who has schemed his way to the top of Roman society as Pope Alexander VI. But with absolute power comes even more powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to see him toppled. While the Pope schemes to destroy his foes, his mistress Giulia Farnese (Lotte Verbeek) realises her position in the bedroom is precarious at best; daughter Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) seduces new suitors while caring for her illicit baby; and brothers Cesare (François Arnaud) and Juan (David Oakes) take sibling rivalry to a whole new level of deviancy. Be there for every stunning moment of the critically acclaimed crime drama with a royal pedigree. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

In Season 2, the Borgias truly become the family of which legends speak. The naive, cute Lucrezia becomes a cunning, almighty young lady. Cardinal Cesare will do anything for the love of his sister and the respect of his father. The papacy must be protected at all costs. The unbelievable is becoming reality. Of course, there are problems within the family as well. But what really impressed me was the pride of the Sforza family. Their Catherine (played by Gina McKee) doesn't have many comparisons to other women in historical sagas. Not even with another character to whom McKee lent her face, the erratic Irene Forsyte... I'm quite looking forward to the conclusion of this series because creeping evil in sheep's clothing has its own qualities. Although, the heretic of Florence is done too. Will it be Machiavelli’s turn?

Even the second season had its dull moments, but I was more annoyed by some illogicalities in the siege of Forli. But that’s about it for my complaints. I was quite satisfied with this season otherwise, so I don’t want to nitpick. The second season managed to keep up the high standard. I enjoyed it, and I’m obviously looking forward to the next one.
