The Young Pope - Season 1 Episode 9
And so ends the first season. I'm still not sure what to make of it. For sure, there are great parts. But as a whole, I don't buy it. I don't buy it because this Pope (should this be capitalized?) is not credible. For all the corruption and decadence that this series tries to portray in the Vatican, I choose to believe that this is vastly exaggerated. And because this Pope is not credible, by extension this series is not credible for me.
Anyway, on to the good points.
"What is God?" "God is a line that opens."
I am a sucker for deep one-liners, and this is one if there ever was one. You could think on it till kingdom come.
The monologue was very long, and towards the end got really annoying. Come to the point! And the punchline left a lot to be desired. "God smiles!" Ah, I don't know. After such a long set up to expect something worthwhile at the end, some big epiphany. This just wasn't satisfactory enough.
