Game of Thrones vs The Borgias

[Perknose]

Which do YOU prefer, and why?

I think I know which show will win in a landslide. 😀

 

[Aikouka]

I'm guessing you think Game of Thrones will win out?

I've never watched The Borgias, but Game of Thrones is enjoyable with its fairly rich story. So, I'll abstain since I can't make a valid comparison 😛.

Game of Thrones.

inaccurate, overly dramatic "historical" shows kinda bother me.

at least Game of Thrones states outright that it's a fantasy.

Yup, although my very favorite character from either show is the French king in The Borgias. He's hilarious, and really looks the part as well.

I watched the pilots of both and enjoyed them. Plan on watching the remaining episodes once I get some free time.

Emmanuelle Chriqui is in The Borgias so it wins.

I've never seen either.

1) Which has more blood and gore?
2) Which has more T&A?

 

[dougp]

GoT for me. My wife watches both and I know she prefers GoT. Borgias didn't interest me much because Assassins Creed ruined it if I want to watch an interesting take on history :awe:

It's your lucky, lucky day. Each is chock full of both.

I will watch both when they become available for rental or streaming.

I've seen bits and pieces of the Borgias, and those historic asshats intrigue me, so I'm far more interested in that one. I'm hoping that it is more "Pillars of the Earth," though, than "The Tudors."

The Tudors is fucking horrible.

Has to be Game of Thrones for me. I don't get Showtime...and don't want it. (we had it with Uverse and thought MOST of the Showtime programming sucked.

I am greatly intrigued, and will have to investigate this further. 😀

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Both are good, Game of Thrones is way better.

 

[ThePresence]

I tried watching a bit of Game of Thrones. Seems very confusing.

Then you missed Shameless. That series is awesome!

Its a very very complex story even in its TV form. I suggest watching it from the first episode to be able to understand it and to read the books to really grasp it.

Dexter is particularly awesome. may take some time to get into it, though.

I still like Weeds.

been waiting to check out Shameless. I think that on average, their programming has been higher quality than what HBO has put our since the end of The Sopranos.

meh.

BBC version was better.

Do you mean "by a landslide"?

Because in a landslide, I think the heavier one would win.

:sneaky:

 

[Red Dawn]

I prefer GOT but I like The Borgias a lot. My main beef with The Borgias is Jeremy Irons over the top acting.

 

[NoStateofMind]

Agreed! Likewise I like Tyrion Lannister in GOT's. HIlarious character played superbly.

 

[1sikbITCH]

I like King of Thrones, but not because the Borgias is too modern. I just like the characters better so far.
