The New Pope

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

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!

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