Parent reviews for The Borgias

I put 18+ for the incest. That is my main reason, this family is literally known for the brother and sister sleeping together. There is ALOT of sex, and rape. Lots and lots of Rape, not just between strangers but between a married couple. There is also mention of a STD. Their is several murder plots. There is a lot of drinking, the use of drugs. I wouldn’t say it’s bloddy or has a lot of gore. As always watch the show before you let your kids watch it!

i really liked this show. The acting was very good (Jeremy Irons)

Despite the initial review, I believe Lucrezia Borgia is a good role model for females as she stands up for what she believes in, showing a determined, headstrong woman. There is nothing wrong with having your own agenda. The questioning of religion is good as it strips back the glorified view of the papacy and shows that even those dedicated to a god can be corrupt.
