The Borgias

The Borgias is a big international production. As it says on the wiki page, "directed by an Irishman, filmed in Hungary, and produced in Canada." Listed as "historical fiction" (aka "fantasy"?) it appears this isn't the end of  it and it will be back for more. Jeremy Irons stars as Pope Alexander VI in this late 15th century tale about the Borgia family.
