The Young Pope

[weezie]

It would appear that anybody watching is in for a crazy ride. Yikes, what a premier!

[mph]

I'm definitely interested to hear others' thoughts but I was unimpressed. So far Jude Law's character seems flat and unrealistically one-dimensional. I won't be watching for long if this turns out to be nothing more than House of Cards meets the Vatican.

House of Cardinals.

House of Cardinals.

A++ would read this comment again.

Glad to see this thread. I tend to forget about HBO when I am not binging WW or GoT.

I thought it was terrific and pretty ominous. Even Diane Keaton, who drives me crazy with her obsession about hiding the backs of her hands, was chilly-good. "There's a new pope now."

It's different, that's for sure.

Thanks. Probably won't be able to watch anything with her in it again ...

Sorry BD80, didn't know you were such a fan! :cool:

I downloaded the season opener of this last night with the intention of trying to get into a new show. It downloaded, I read the description, and just said to myself.......nah. Ended up watching impractical jokers re-runs before turning in at 9:00. What a lame.

So still nobody is watching this series?!

It is jaw-dropping good.

I'm watching it, and enjoying it. Got a chuckle out of the Pope dressing for his address to the Cardinals to the tune of "I'm Sexy and I Know It."
