chani...which makes even sadder the fact that so many good shows, or potentially great shows, got cancelled after one season.
There are exceptions of course, and unfortunately The Killing is one of them, although I didn't have great expectations for this second season. But the less said about that, the better.
On the contrary, The Borgias has gotten really better this season, especially since last week ("The beautiful desception" was easily the best episode of the series so far).
Anyway, Jeremy Iron's Rodrigo is a treat even when the writing is so-so. The character is great, the performance is excellent and the man is more attractive than ever. Irons has always been a handsome man but age has given him the charm and the warmth that he lacked when he was in his 30's (inThe French Lieutenant's Woman for instance) .
And, as I said, on twitter, his voice could be sold in the sex toys department of a store! It's a voice that seems to command thunder, to own caves and hidden places, to sneak in every crack, and that vibrato...rowrrrr
What? You expected an analysis of the show?
