In Micheletto’s
continued absence Cesare relies on the sneaky Machiavelli as he plans
his next move to carve out a Kingdom of his own and become a
‘Prince’. Forli will be taken by force and under Cesare's own
terms. The problem is the Pope is not quite ready yet to hand over
the reigns and has his own designs for his surviving son.
Catarina Sforza's busy
little spies inform her that Rome’s army is descending on Forli.
This, she thinks, gives her 10 days to bunker down and protect her
domain. However, she has no idea that Cesare had already dispatched
his French Army and she is surrounded. Will she surrender or go down
in legend as a women who never backed down, even in the face of death
and destruction.
The
finale we have all been waiting for is here. Cesare is well and
truly out of his father's shadow, the Pope managed to survive
multiple poisonings and assassination attempts and Lucrezia leaves
another fated marriage. As you would expect, loose ends are tied up
but not all. There needs to be a thread or two to the next season, if
there is to be one.
Season 3 did not
disappoint and is another classic series to add to the Borgia box
set.
