I watched the first one last night. Not bad. I could do without McCoy saying "One day, I'll buy you one of them Edison elictricalicity thangs" tho. For the first hour, it was honest. They made it clear the families were uneducated, but not stupid. Then out of nowhere it started to turn into a fucking Hee-Haw episode.

I started watching episode one and fell asleep after the trial. I woke up in time to tape the replay and then taped last nights episode 2 as well. Parts of what I watched in episode one just didn't seem to come together for me, but I was tired and I am going to go back and watch it from the start.

Two thumbs down on the show. I watched the first installment, 3/4s of the
2nd night (slept through the remainder, and skipped tonight). There is no character in the show that was at all sympathetic or even marginally interesting....Perhaps it's because I have never been much of a Kevin Costner fan....

The Borgias are fodder for more interesting televised dramas.

Yeah, I hated the first hour too, then it got good.

Do any history nuts know how historically accurate this mini series was?

If you look at various internet sites.. including wiki... the series looks 'reasonably' similar to factual... but as you would expect, the series took many liberties to enhance audience appeal.. not to be historically accurate

but anxious to see if others can validate my perceptions

I actually looked for this last night after I saw this thread. I haven't seen part 1 yet, but I saw most of part 2 last night. I was pretty engrossed in it, I went ahead and set my DVR to record part 1, part 2 (to see the parts I missed), and the upcomming part 3. Don't usually care for Costner, but I'm enjoying this.

If, like me, you missed it but heard people talking about it they're showing all three parts from 6:00pm to midnight tomorrow evening. My DVR is set.
