As Pope Alexander (Jeremy Irons) fights for his life after being poisoned, the Cardinals jockey for position to take over the Papacy. Cesare (Francois Arnaud) and Micheletto (Sean Harris) trace the assassination plot back to its source, but Della Rovere (Colm Feore) is ready to make his move. Catherina Sforza (Gina McKee) dispatches her own personal assassin, Rufio (Thure Lindhart), to dethrone the Borgias. However, thanks to Lucrezia's (Holliday Grainger) quick thinking, the family's grip on power may not be lost. (Showtime)

The first episode of the third season pleasantly surprised me. The creators accurately continued the events of the second season (actually, they couldn't have done it any other way) and created an episode with a very high-quality atmosphere, decent tension, and surprisingly didn't spare any action. This whole combination made me thoroughly enjoy myself and got me excited for the next continuation.
