I'm an Atheist, since I can think. Nobody could ever explain to me, why people believe in something - no matter what religion. Even my aunt, who is christian theology teacher, couldn't offer any kind of explanation.
I tumbled onto this series in a "Top of 2017" list and luckily gave it a shot. Probably because of Jude Law. It captivated me right from the beginning. Expecting basically a comedy with a young and cool pope - this is so much more - and not at all what I expected. It is not afraid to twist and turn, to make you cringe. But that's exactly what forces you to think about the issues that are being pondered.
It makes a great job of portraying a devoted live, without offending believers or non-believers. That's the power of stunning acting and a thoughtful script. I think this is some of Jude Laws best work, but everybody is top of their game.
Honestly, man, the last episode had me in tears and overwhelmed.
I do hope they will not produce more than one other season or at best, stop here. I think, TV Shows are the future, they give a lot more space to develop, but they need to learn to find an ending and come up with new ideas.
Thanks for producing this fearless and touching show!
Peace and Happy New Year!! ;-)
