She Surprised Everyone by Bringing a Panther to Her Wedding 🐾

The Borgias is a historical TV series focusing on the Italian noble family in the late 15th century. Premiered in 2011 with 3 seasons and 29 episodes, directed by Neil Jordan and others, and starring Jeremy Irons and François Arnaud, it takes the Vatican during the Renaissance as the stage to restore the Borgia family’s rise to power and controversial life.​
The series centers on Rodrigo Borgia (later Pope Alexander VI): he ascended to the papacy through political maneuvering and ambition, then placed his children in the Vatican and noble system to form a family force — his son Cesare Borgia expanded territories with iron-fisted methods, while his daughter Lucrezia Borgia maneuvered through political marriages. The series does not stereotype the characters, but delicately portrays their ambitions and struggles: Rodrigo’s balance between religious authority and family interests, Cesare’s fanaticism for power and inner contradictions, and Lucrezia’s transformation from an innocent girl to a political tool.​
Focusing on the restoration of historical details, the series interweaves gorgeous court costumes, retro architectural scenes and Renaissance art elements. It not only shows the power struggles and luxurious life of the Vatican, but also exposes the desires and conspiracies of the noble class. With a tight narrative rhythm and in-depth discussion of human nature, it becomes an excellent work in the field of historical dramas with both ornamental and ideological value.​
