"What if Don Draper was the Pope?" asked no one ever.

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.

besides everything already mentioned in the other reviews, the young pope had a dope soundtrack

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.
