"The New Pope"

[Doctor Phibes]

Perfect timing - we recently subscribed to HBO Max. This looks wonderful.

@Doctor-Phibes you should start with "The Young Pope" for context. Jude Law is wonderful.

Heads up, tho...

THere's a fair amount of nudity in it.

And by "fair," I mean "a lot," especially in "The New Pope."

Women or men?

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.

Check out Silicon Valley too. Fun show.

@89th I just finished binge watching it -- well written.
