What the shit kind of premise is this? I just watched it and I spent the entire pilot repeating the words "This is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes..." under my breath.
I fucking hated it. I was writhing around on the floor in front of my sofa for the last 10 minutes, it was so painful.
>DUDE WHAT IF FRANK UNDERWOOD WAS THE POPE LAMO
To believe I was unironically recommended this by Sup Forums... If you liked it you're in the wrong place
Hmm, that's interesting.
this pasta is under cooked
Reddit: the show
It's beautiful to watch though bro

seek therapy, or at the very least spend some time outside
i think OP just wants a young pope thread
You did the right thing.
The scene where he fucks a nun in his private chapel while the cardinals wait in the next room was too edgy even for me.
the atheist pope that smokes and fucks is really trying too hard
>comparing typ to hocus
This really boils my eggs
How about the scene where he yells "FUCK DONALD TRUMP" during one of his preach? I mean who wrote this shit?
Wait, I'm only up to episode 8 and none of this has happened yet. Do the last two episodes really take a nose dive?
What the fuck does that really happen
No.
no it's fake, I was joking
I don't want to scare anyone from this series
Shameful. Just went into archives and read a quality thread from Nov 26th. And now this.
The series is telekinographie through and through, a revelation.
What did you expect watching two episodes of one of the dullest franchise in the history of tv franchises. Seriously each episode following Pope Pius XIII and his cardinal pals as they fight assorted other members of the Church has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and inaccurate use of curial politics, all to make faith faithless, to make belief seem nonexistent.
Perhaps the die was cast when Pope Francis vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody. Just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for his policies which he will never finish before dying by a refugee. The Young Pope might be anti-Benedict XVI (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Catholic series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and faith. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the writing was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the direction was terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time Pius went for a walk, Sorrentino wrote instead that a miracle "happens".
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time a miracle occured. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several hundred times. I was incredulous. Sorrentino's mind is so governed by cliches and literal shit metaphors that he has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of The Young Pope by a Redditor. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Sorrentino at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on Reddit." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Sorrentino" you are, in fact, trained to be a Redditor.
Really put into perspective how good Stranger Things and Westworld really were. Reminded me of how truly wonderful watching television can be.
kek
>That scene when he fucks homophobic cardinal in the ass as punisment
