(*b36962f9*):: “The Young Pope”
the show follows the rise of Lenny Belardo, played by Jude Law, who becomes the youngest Pope in history, taking the name Pius XIII. The series masterfully explores the conflict between tradition and modernity, as well as the inner workings of the Vatican.
Random Log: 7 episodes in.
+public!
I don’t know if I would have watched it if it wasn’t for Curtis Yarvin mentioning it in a few podcasts.
Only 1 season, 8 episodes on HBO.
The pope doesn’t care about consensus.
I wish there were more shows that showed religious politik.
Kinda slow.
Cool religious iconography.
“Tolerance doesn’t live here anymore”
Popes use of Sovereign Law and mention of it made me smile.
Jude Law is solid.
Ep. 5 Judd Law nails the first speech in front of the Cardinals.
Okay it looks like there’s a follow up series that includes John Malkovich called “The New Pope”
Wardrobe out did themselves.
