Anyone watched any of The Borgais, yet? If so what are your thoughts?

I've Sky+'d the three episodes up to now and will watch the whole series over a weekend or something. Got decent reviews over in Canada, for what that's worth.

Are there as many naked women in it as I recall there were in the BBC version back in 1981?

I'm not expecting much nudity from a stateside series.

In that case I'm not expecting to watch it. Mind you, some US productions such as those from HBO often have a satisfyingly high naked totty count.

There hasn't been much nudity at all in it,

but i'm enjoying it, some splendid acting especially from Jeremy Irons and of course a great underated British talent Sean Harris who had an epic turn as PC Bob Craven in the "Red Riding Trilogy" and was also Ian Brady in "See No Evil" as well as Ian Curtis in "24 Hour Party People" he is a very good actor and he plays the part of Michelotto very well.

The hardest thing to get your head around is obviously, the story being distorted over the years & lots of artistic licence, but basically its a true story & this all actually happened!

I'm enjoying it.

If you're looking for a naked body count, Game of Thrones had more
