I was very much on the fence about The Borgias until the scene between Giulia and Lucrezia in the garden that made me sit up and go oh hello there. Gave me faith that the show would do right by its female characters, which turned out to be true.

And yes, +1 to liking all the characters. It was such a great ensemble!

I feel that in general, gen/ensemble fans do get fairly sidelined in fandoms, if they're not juggernauts. Nature of the beast.
