Wonderful look inside Cesare's head - and heart. In a way he reminds me of what a young Darken might have been like, except Cesare is not out just for himself - at least at this point. No matter what he does, he is still intensely loyal to, and protective of, his sister and mother. His relationship with his father is much more complicated, but I blame that on Rodrigo's refusal to see Cesare as he is, or appreciate his strengths.

I am really eager to see where they take this character in the show, since in history he becomes more and more unhinged, paranoid (not that the family didn't have reason to be paranoid with enemies on all sides), and ruthless.

There is a fine line between self-defence (and defence of others) and murder. Increasingly, he cares little for the distinction. I think that started with his murder of his brother.

This is what he prays for in truth; Lucrezia's safety, his glory, the family's name remembered ever and always, amen. This is so perfect - love it!!

I would never have heard about this show if not for you, and now, through marathon watching, I'm up to date on all the eps and totally hooked. It's a beautifully shot and acted series, and I'm so glad you introduced me to it.

My only complaint - Rodrigo's infernal constant whining
annoys me no end. It may be that the writers are writing him that way intentionally, but his self-pity makes me want to slap him - hard.
