@George-K that does look great. Reminds me of Mr Robot, another series I watched and recently finished. The plot is unique and the storylines are abstract at times, but hot damn if it wasn’t the best directed and/or had the best cinematography of any TV show I’ve ever seen. Like you said, many moments in the show are pure art at its finest.

Heads up, tho...
THere's a fair amount of nudity in it.
And by "fair," I mean "a lot," especially in "The New Pope."

If John Malkovich gets his old fellah out, I'm going to pass.

MS and I really like The Young Pope -- some very sophisticate inside Catholic theology and politics.
The New Pope kinda limped.
Cardinal Voiello was perfectly written and perfectly acted.
And both, as George notes, were sumptuously filmed.

Both - but not Malkovich, thank goodness.
Well, at least not from the front.
