Hi, May! Yeah, I think Francois mentioned it in the video interviews for Showtime as well. It might be in the video that I posted. Jordan can go jump in the Tiber.

So if you think about it, it was Jordan himself who basically made the fans fall in love with the incest, so he has no one but himself to blame.
But I've come to realise that Jordan is a very confusing and conflicted man, so I've given up trying to comprehend him.

Thanks for the beautiful gifs Arinna
Hi, Linda! Yep, I totally agree with you. Like we've mentioned, there were a lot of things that happened on the show that were not in the history, like Lucrezia and Paolo(it was Perotto), Cesare and the beautiful deception, Prince Alfonso being tortured and killed by King Charles, Rodrigo and Bianca Gonzaga, etc. And there have been several European programs about the Borgia family that already explored the incest between Cesare and Lucrezia, so what's his big issue?
