Man This is Weird.....
That's saying a lot considering how strange "The Young Pope" was. I'm wondering just exactly what type of audience that they're making this show for. Lots of talk, where most of it tries to be very clever & eloquent but yet comes off as bizarre. You can never blame this series for not being literate, that's for sure, but where are they going with this?
Thing is I thought this was going to be about Pope Pius waking up & then clashing with Brannox after telling him that he's still Pope & then you have the two of them at war with one another. But now I'm not so sure what's going to happen & if Pius is only going to be shown in dream/fantasy segments.
I've read a online review of someone who has seen this series & he states that overall you never really learn what Brannox's deal is, & to me that is a major fail. That would be a damn shame if this show fails to delve into that & deliver on some point. You learn a little about some of his motivations & feelings early on. Don't make the mistake of dropping it when he becomes Pope.
Oh & there are many things about the "Young Pope" that were never resolved, especially the situation regarding Lenny's parents & his lifelong quest to find them. Maybe the Aussies can send him another Kangaroo, who knows. What are your thoughts?
