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 !
Great topic, great script, acting, cinematography, lighting. Watching it, I experience flashes of Federico Fellini.
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
How can something be
so cynical yet genial and warm ,
so emotional yet absurd and ludicrous ,
so weird yet relatable and familiar ,
so sacrilegious yet divine and reverent ,
Only Sorrentino knows as he outdoes himself ,
The dialogue is so smart , nearly every sentence is quotable ..
& The cinematography is jaw dropping , nearly every scene is a painting ..
& The music , DAMN , he uses it in a way that manipulates feelings , nearly every song gives the scene a new Sorrentinoesque dimension ,
& The acting is phenomenal , nearly everyone embodies their characters perfectly ..
John Malkovich & Jude Law are the popes , enough said ..
And that man Silvio Orlando, he brings Voiello -one of the most unforgettable characters- to life , Hats off to that legendary man ,
Thank you for a decent dose of creativity, Sorrentino.

Very provocative and smart, "The New Pope" shows us intrigues and madness, perfectly rendered by an exceptional cast. A little slow at the beginning, but at the same time also unsettling. A must-see..!
