AncalagonTheBlack Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm 4 minutes into the first episode and holy mind-fuck batman! WTF fuck did i just watch? Opens with a surreal and disturbing scene and for full 4 minutes it's just music and more surreal shots/scenes...no dialogue at all.This is either gonna be amazing as hell or really bad!

RumHam Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I saw the trailer for this and at first thought it was a joke. Let us know what you think when you finish it because I'm very curious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Watched the first two episodes, and it's very good. Absolutely savage, visuals and music are fantastic (Sorrentino, if nothing else, knows style), great performance by Law. It is quite weird, dances on the line of surreal at points, but that's a strength of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veltigar Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I just started and I have already seen five episodes. I should get some work done, but damn this is some good stuff! I'll try to see the rest of the series before i go beyond, but this is some great television. If it keeps going like that other series will have to be really great to win me over.

Veltigar Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I finished episode 8 three days ago. I wanted to react immediately, but the boards were down at the moment and the days afterwards life just seemed to get in the way. A shame really, because I was positively bubbling with emotions. Truly a magnficent experience. At the end of that eight episode, I was literally crying a little, which doesn't usually happen. It's just lovely really, a shame we can't all watch this simultaneously, because I would have loved to chat about the sequence that affected me so greatly for a whole night. Brilliant series really. I'm going to try and refrain from watching the remaining episodes right now, because I want to take my time for them and watch them in the most optimal circumstances (at night, nice bag of crisps close at hand, etc.) because this series just deserves it. I really don't want it to end. A bit more on the scene that I found so moving: Spoiler As you probably guessed, it was the scene where Pius XIII gives his speech about peace. The soothing sound of Jude Law's voice, the wonderful music (great cover, better than the original imo), the acting, the way it was shot and just the actual content of his speech... Pure beauty. I watched it all with 'eyes of joy' (such an elegant, simple phrase) and I genuinely hope this series will continue to amaze me. I love how this series seems to understand the paradoxal nature of believing. The pitfalls and the heights, they are all there. Glorious, that is what it is.

Veltigar Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I saw episodes 9 and 10. They were good, but I wasn't enamourd by the ending. It felt a bit rushed and quite frankly a tad gimmicky (might I say that it lacked the creative boldness that made the rest of the season outstanding). This series easily could have used another episode or two. Still, overal I'd say it's one of the finest seasons of television I have ever seen. Greatly pleasing on pretty much all fronts, with episode 8 being the absolute standout. I read on Variety that Sorentino is already working on a second season, so I'll be eagerly awaiting the release of that little marvel. I'd also like to give a shoutout to Cécile De France, who is not only heart achingly beautiful, but also has incredible chemistry with Jude Law.
