RumHam Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I need to re-watch the original cause I remember feeling like I understood maybe 60% of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to avoid that nowadays, but for this I might make an exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I started The Young Pope, got about halfway, and stopped, which is weird because I was enjoying it immensely. Might be the prodding I need to finish that up before this comes out. Also got Sorrentino's Loro sitting next to my laptop should watch that.

Zorral Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The New Pope was baffling. But now it's getting confused coz there's now The Two Popes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Quote Even with a New Pope in the spotlight, there’s loads more insanity to behold — including guest performances from Sharon Stone and Marilyn Manson(!). This season will be even more bonkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veltigar Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 First episode was strange. It's still as stylish and wonderfully weird as ever but Spoiler I do miss Pius XIII's presence so far. He really anchored the madness for me, so I'm curious whether I will be able to adjust to the show's camp without someone being there to guide me through it. Also sad that Cecile de France has short hair in this Episode 2 will be dealt with tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 The second episode is now in my past. I'm not feeling it that much so far to be honest. The style is still amazing, but it reminds me more of La Grande Belezza than of the Young Pope. It lacks the spiritual depth and introspectiveness of the original, which was provided by Lenny. The political plotting and the style are nicely done, but they are not enough to make it as much of a stone cold classic as the first series.

Zorral Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I haven't raced to watch this. I was quite bemused by the first season, but that's come and gone. Besides, a very little Malkovich goes a very long way. And then there's these other two popes, and I dunno, there's just too many popes at the moment.

Astromech Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Voiello is one of my favorite tv characters. He is such a worm Francis II was hilarious. He is the greatest fear of the entrenched Vatican hierarchy. When that Cardinal rolled his eyes at Francis II's reading of St. Francis, I nearly lost it. And the Franciscan bodyguards.

Veltigar Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Finished the third episode. It is still too stuck in the profane imo, would love to get back some spirituality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Episode 4 makes the new season feel like some weakass soft porn it's disappointing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
