  ...I thought this would be about the political family in Medieval and Renaissance Italy.

  I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.

  It kind of is in a television drama sort of way.

  Dunno, I'm not one for shows like it, although the Radio Times hasn't really given it too much praise.

  Oh.  I didn't know that.
  
  Wikipedia says there are two such shows.  Which one are you talking about, Myrm?
  
  Edit:

  It's the 2011 series.

  I would never be able to watch this series.
  
  I'd be too busy staring at the shadows of rooftops to notice anything else.

  One foot in front of the other, every day.

  I wish Middle Ages and Renaissance stuff would stop trying to be cool, and just be happy with "nerdy and awesome".

  You can change. You can.

  Nope. It doesn't.
  
  Just watch Rome like a normal person who's looking for a historical drama.

  The Tudors is a guilty pleasure of mine. Don't know how The Borgias is, I don't get Showtime.

  Am I the only one who actually thought this was going to be about the show when I opened the thread?

  Bah, they have shows about the Tudors and the Borgias. Why not a show about the most influential Renaissance family ever, the Habsburgs?

  It pretty much tells the story of the Borgias family.
