So its the Tudors all over again? thats basically the plot for game of thrones as well.

Well, there's garotting instead of beheadings, the plots might be bit juicier and they are DEFINITELY hinting at some incest. So it's typical formula vatican movie stuff. Being fiction and (ugh) "fantasy", hard for me to get excited about Thrones. . .you know, as compared to depictions of history which are largely fictitious. Altho with the Borgias, you really didn't need to make this **** up.
