Summary
Rooted in the energetic, brutal, and corrupt world of 15th-century Italy, "Blood and Beauty" opens with Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, clever and charismatic, buying his way to the Papal crown. Using the high-wire tension of a political thriller, this portrait of power and its personal costs is the most thrilling family saga to come out of Italy since "The Godfather." The Borgias emerge not as the poisoning sexual monsters of popular myth, but in all their ruthless determination and complex humanity
