The Young Pope - Season 1
In this series, the events seem more realistic and exciting through a wide range of dramatic scenes. The series begins with a young man named Lenni Bellardo Papuarte, who became Pius XIII and began to identify the Pope. Voilo still insists on discovering the Pope's weaknesses through a secret campaign previously planned, and the Pope takes an unannounced trip away from the Vatican. On the other hand, Dossoulier may face serious doubts about his personal abilities, and the Pope questions his decisions when a big plot is against him.

'The Young Pope' is certainly not afraid to be provocative, but that might be all it is.

It's gorgeous, disturbing, weird, slow to reveal information and short on explanations. But talk about one heck of a Vatican-inspired fashion show.

I did NOT expect this to be the kind of show I enjoyed. Especially because it seemed too close to home.

The series' appeal has everything to do with watching this outsider come crashing through an ossified system like a wrecking ball, refusing to follow the rules or set aside any personal pettiness, declaring war on anyone who defies him.

The Young Pope is Italian director Paolo Sorrentino's visually stunning but simply preposterous and only semi-interesting drama about the first American pope (Jude Law).

Shot in Italy, The Young Pope is always beautiful and often fascinating. It offends as often as it intrigues, and then it turns poignant.

HBO's The Young Pope - inscrutable, satirical, consistently surprising - calls to mind the pious wisdom of Saint Teresa of Avila: "More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered prayers."

It's slow and languid and there is great beauty in its sometimes slow-motion camerawork which seems to glide through this unknown world, one where a one-handed nun can be victorious in an early-morning game of football among the dewy grass.
