Enjoyably acted, intelligently dialoged, beautifully shot and brilliantly directed.
Believable characters and story, funny and wise dialog. Controversial and thought provoking I found myself drifting into world of philosophy on many occasions.
Surreal climate in times. Creative and original use of creators brains. Imaginative.
I could sense that Jude Law enjoyed himself immensely, which added a special quality to his role.
The only problem I had was with excessive smoking - as if the production was sponsored by Philip Morris, and who knows maybe it was. Still have bad taste in my throat from that tar and smoke.
Unfortunately the follow up 'The New Pope' (2020) massive let down and disappointment. Mere ghost of the original. I think the authors emboldened by success of the first show went too far with provocations and absurdity and in a process get lost in the plot.
Shame.
