re: Tudors or Borgias?

The first 2 seasons of the Showtime Borgias series is just fantastic TV. It's beautifully done. The costumes and sets are just amazing and the acting is spectacular. Season 2 is some of the best TV I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, there's a noticeable dropoff in the quality of the story in season 3 and then it got abruptly cancelled at the end so it never had a chance to regroup and progress to a proper ending. I wish it would have because I think their were some real quality story arcs that never got a chance to materialize.

That said, season 3 wasn't awful, just not that great. It could've bounced back. Wish it's been given at least one more season to try but I'm sure the budget was astronomical. It's definitely worth a watch because, like I said, the first 2 seasons are just brilliant.

I have not seen Tudors yet. It's been in my queue for over 3 years. Just haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Life is cruel that way sometimes...
