    I'd like to start with The Young Pope. Is it on Netflix or Amazon?

    @Mik Nope. HBO.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      @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.

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

          I was only joking

            @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."

                    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.
