It's a blast to watch and has a few sublime moments...and then unexpectedly cheesy ones. Not sure what the take away is, expected more of Sorrentino.

I started out enjoying the irreverent, sacrilegious humour, but my enthusiasm waned as it went along. I ended up deleting the 10th and last episode, not caring how it ended.

Weird plot that seemingly goes nowhere. The cinematography, the soundtrack, and the acting will keep you hooked, and eventually it goes somewhere. Kinda.

Outrageously slow, pompously self-important and self-ironic. Wonderfully stylistic, funny, surprisingly tender and at times just stupid. Tauntingly, genuinely sacred - this is some profoundly light entertainment.

I do not expect myself saying this for a series about a Pope (again the Pope of all people!), but you should really watch this. It is exquisitely bizarre, here and then mindblowingly serene and when you least expect it scary deep and touching. Jude Law did wonders with Lenny; but the most interesting character is by far Voiello. I don't know what else they can do in a second season (I think that they shouldn't do it), but this one was a joy.

Sorrentino is creating 'must watch' content now. His direction offers far more than the plot itself, it's brimming with deep tissue character reactions, allegorical shots, inspired (& modern) music choices & comedy somewhere between dark & doomed. The political dialogue was equally careful & in turn, accurate (Orlando & Camara were standouts). Yet the political plot lines felt less dramatic, in fact most scenes had a lightness about them, with the effect feeling less damning than the cause.

Good visuals and music, not much story to go with it. Boring version of house of cards.

Sacred and profane. The highlights overcome the lowlights by a lot. In the same show you have the Pope dressing with a "Sexy and i know it" soundtrack, and the Pope having profound discussion about child abort. Deal with it.

Alternately fascinating and frustrating series plays like an uncomfortable meeting of HOUSE OF CARDS and TWIN PEAKS; while individual elements work well (Law is magnificent as the ambiguous Pius, and the supporting cast are equally well drawn), the series never finds a consistent tone, veering wildly from soap-opera histrionics to savage satire. Sorrentino's striking, surreal-flavoured imagery makes it great to look at, capped by a terrific (and amusing) soundtrack.

An artistically rich show, well worth watching. Becomes noticeably more treacly towards the end; I found the first few episodes to be the most interesting. (Season 1 review)

Definitely top 3 series of 2016. So ambitious, and Law is fucking great is the enigmatic pope, easy to hate, hard to resist.

not sure what the message was that I should take from this - smoking is bad for you even if you can perform miracles? Hippy parents can be selfish fucknuggets? I do know though that if I was head of the Holy Roman Catholic Church that the press secretary would have been getting some extra pastoral care from myself. Hmm, maybe that's why I'm not the Pope
