This was a very weak season. Pope Alexander VI was relegated very much to the background, while Cesare was the main character. They really ought to have called this "The Cesare Borgia Show." Luckily Francois Arnaud is talented and charismatic enough that he could carry the whole season by himself. I also *really* did not like how they decided to go the incest route with Cesare and Lucrezia - it was considered a salacious rumor by people at the time, and I'm really disappointed that the writers chose to run with it just to shock us. Also, there were WAY too many convenient coincidences, characters running into eachother to facilitate plot developments, people getting there/doing something at just the right time. Honestly just a letdown. ( )
