Most revealing

[leonidasstathopoulos · 8/10 · 23 January 2020]

Most revealing, most emotional episode so far Some open wounds of the past enshadowing the character of the new Pope

You look like my favourite actor "John Malkovich"

Here we see the developing of Sir Brannox character and the continuing of the story on his papacy. Another episode to look forward to. A great episode on its own.

I give this a thumbs up.

I cried

[amirmohsen-02503 · 10/10 · 21 January 2020]

This is the first time I cried,I saw a lot of movies and TV series and played a lot of games, but I hadn't cried so far.I feel like this series was just made for me.

Even worse than the previous episode.

I loved the Young Pope, and the New Pope's first episode was entertaining with all the hallmarks of the previous serious. It took a nosedive however with the second episode (Malovich's boring and inaccurate character, and self-indulgent though boring surrealism) and this one is even worse than the last one. In fact, this is the first episode of both series that I had to skip forward a bit through (the b-plot with the woman and baby). Not much quality control this season. And Meghan Markle references - not just once but multiple times? I suppose this may retrospectively turn out to be this franchise's shark jump.

"You Look Like John Malkovich?

Is that line supposed to be witty? Meta? It just makes this show seem ridiculous. As ridiculous as Malkovich contuing his quest to be the female Meryl Streep with those silly accents. And why the multiple name dropping of Megan Markle? I suspect it's going to get worse.

expecting more

Most simple question is the sense of The New Pope. Small jokes, frustrations from childhood, moral problem and sexual touch in mirror are few virtues , each as try to save a serie who seems far by The Young Pope. Sure, it is an early episode and the steps to develop John Paul III are not reduced. But you expect more - be convince and to have not a clone of Pius XIII. Or Jude Law character as solution for save few scenes.
