The New Pope

Because who else could do Vatican-Rockstar fusion and make it the best meal you ever had!? If you've seen his previous miniseries The Young Pope, you know you can't find one thing to nitpick about. It's flawless. So you gotta give it to the guy, to be this great and know it, but not be afraid to do it again cause you know you can do even better?? Mindblown. Mister Sorrentino, if you ever wanna remarry...

The outstanding music is something you might expect if you've seen The Young Pope but the cinematography is

This new series is CLEARLY intended for a "certain" kind of audience - people complaining about Malkovich and how "slow" and "boring" the first episodes are, simply can't understand what they're missing. Outstanding visuals, outstanding dialogues, oustanding acting - a deep, provocative (but not offensive) well-thought portrait of the marvelous complexity of the Christian (and not only Christian) Church in the 21st Century. Please, try to watch it until the very last second of the last episode (a true masterpiece of an episode!): because it gets better and better, and all makes sense as a whole. If you left the series after ep. 1 or even 2/3, your vote simply doesn't mean anything.

The content of the series is not that complex as the "The young pope" one... but the cinematography is fabulous. The sounds, the compilation of scenes, the story (even if is pretty slow) is brilliant and beautiful. The music of the series is so well chosen that captivates you into the movie. The new pope is a beautiful piece of glass, each english accent word of his is a living story. Congratulations for the show from a humble hbo viewer !

Sorrentino continues to unfold his directorial talent in an amazing sequel. A play with an excellent script and incredible symbolism shows the struggle with our own instincts through a comic version of a story that is enchanted in the Vatican. Jude Law and John Malkovich at one of their best acts

This series is simply a piece of art. I could write pages trying to explain why it represents the true meaning of love within the darkness of any religion. Be careful to listen closely the what they say, especially John Malkovich as Pope. The best movie I have seen in a long time. Bravo to Paolo Sorrentino!
