The New Pope plot

When Pope Pius XIII falls into a coma, the Vatican must look for a replacement to sit in the Holy See. The most viable candidate is Sir John Brannox, an intellectual English Aristocrat known for a theological text, "The Middle Way," which he wrote in his youth. Upon arrival at the Vatican, the Catholic delegates are swept up into an empire almost as mysterious and full of secrets as they left behind in Rome.

Reviews & comments

Excellent follow-up to The Young Pope, with an equally wacky but addictive mixture of drama and surreal humor. Think of a cross between The Godfather and Twin Peaks. something like that. The addition of John Malkovich to the cast quickly proves to be a masterstroke; we haven't seen him this well in the last ten, twenty years and his character is quickly changing the atmosphere within the Vatican. Furthermore, more than enough intrigue, sex and violence to disappoint the church from start to finish. Nice cameos also from Marilyn Manson and Sharon Stone, two of the Pope's favorite artists.

It's been a long time since I was this impressed by a series. The New Pope (which I think should be on this website as part 2 of The Young Pope) has it all. Beautiful images from the Vatican and Venice. An ode to art, literature, seduction, the human and the mysterious. Dialogues to feast on by overly eloquent characters. A couple of acting guns that grab the screen: John Malkovich is impressive and otherwise the actor who plays Cardinal Secretary of State Voiello is. The series is wonderfully slow, but at various moments I was doubled over with laughter at the many subtle humor that often consists of the cynically worldly portrayal of supposedly perfect believers. Also during the introduction of John Malkovich's character I was repeatedly laughing out loud at the wonderful dialogues between his character (Sir John Brannox) and Voiello, in which the future Pope feels so melancholy depressed and the sharp Voiello fills the silences. Each episode ends with the absurdly hilarious view of one or more characters from the show you see dancing. You can also trust director Sorrentino to throw a lot of temptation into the church: count on a lot of nude and sexy dancing and raving nuns.
