The Borgias 106 Review- Still The Juan

Cesare- "Is it murder to defend your mother's honor?"

I went into this sixth episode of the season wanting to write a more glowing review of The Borgias, but "The French King" still left plenty to be desired. Not by its characters mind you, who all must have desired nothing after all of the sex in this episode.

One of the main criticisms of The Borgias in many of the pre-air reviews was that it was simply a historical soap opera with too much nudity and gratuitous sex.

Before this week's chapter I was ready to disregard that critique entirely, but it seemed to be all that "The French King" was about.

Not only was it Rodrigo and Giulia, Cesare and Ursula, and Lucrezia, but then there was the disturbing Juan, Joffre, and Sancia situation in which the older brother had his way with his younger brother's new wife just before the bride had her way with the young child.

To read the rest of my review of this week's The Borgias, head over to TV Fanatic.
