The New Pope

The dismissive critics have no clue. This genius campy series discusses the issues of power and faith in the modern world of angst and loss and loneliness. The breakdown of modern society brought on by the rise of mass media and the utter ruthlessness of current world leaders reducing democracy to a sham is being ridiculed in an artistic manner. And where is god in all of that? That is the question all the characters struggle with. Brilliant dialogues. A must watch must ask yourself questions type of series... P.s... Had to add. Just finished episode 9. So many emotional moments during the last 3 episodes. The series is truly a work of love for belief and man and god. It doesn't need to im be reverent to truly reflect the positive elements of belief and being human. Almost to the contrary - using human frailty, vice and stupidity it is a celebration of what being human is all about and if i were the Catholic Church this would be the best promotion ever

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!

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

Great topic, great script, acting, cinematography, lighting. Watching it, I experience flashes of Federico Fellini.

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..!
