Lenny is the pope we need now IRL

>>84516367

Everything you wrote is wrong

It's straight up kino, the first episode is deliberately misleading and mysterious regarding the Pope's character/intentions etc. It was a treat to watch the season unfold, really a near perfect show

>>84516367
???

>>84516367
wtf I hate kino now

Ok I finished the first episode. Seems like it's going to be good. But I want to end up liking him. He's such a dick not only to those who deserve it but to almost everyone. And he keeps telling people he's a vengeful monster. It really does seem they're going the House of Cards edgelord route but hopefully he won't be a murdering fag.

>>84516857
He's more like Mulder's character in californication.

>>84516857
Its more like Mad Men than House of Cards. Characters develop in a wide range of ways, often good, often surprising. It's not just endless cynicism like HoC

>That's it we're getting rid of the homos and abortion
>lol nvm i just needed to grow up

Wow thanks fags. Hes even worse in the second episode. The real speech was even more edgy and embarrassing in the opposite direction. I can't tell if I'm mad at the writing or if I'm supposed to be mad.

What is the point in being the pope if you aren't going to do your job?
Why be homophobic if you don't even believe in god?
Why is he doing literally any of the shit he's doing.

>you'll never experience puberty with young Keaton as your mommy

>>84516857
>>84519217
He's a genuinely good guy who is going through a nihilist/negative phase. This is explicitly spelled out in one of his conversations with his mentor. Growing out of this phase is his character arc and what the whole show is about.

>>84515858

Keep watching it you momo.

>>84519217

No.

He is a saint who performs miracles but is atheist because why would God let his parents abandon him? That's why they appeared in the end, and Lenny had a heart attack because it was a miracle.

The truth is if you don't like it, you don't like. I personally loved it, but you don't have to watch any more if it upsets you so greatly. No one cares that you have problems with it but you.

>>84520259
I was live posting the first 2 episodes. There's simply too much content out there to watch without genuinely wondering if this or that particular thing is going to be a waste of time.

>>84519052
What's the point of commenting in a thread if you haven't seen the show? The point of the show is that you have to decide for yourself if he's the anti-Christ or the second coming of Christ. There's an argument for both, which is what makes it a good show

>>84516480
>the director is a conservative Italian Catholic
I'm pretty sure I've read an interview where Sorrentino says he's "not a believer" I'm still interested in this show though, and if anyone has more info on that please feel free.

Lenny represents the struggle of every modern believer. He doesn't seem to consciously believe in God because that contradicts what he knows about science. He's a pragmatic man. But he acts as if God exists, his unconscious mind accepts God as a fact and never doubts. And because of that God is on his side.

The job of the Pope is not kissing nigger's feet. His job is to uphold people's Faith in God. By all means necesary.

Literally the best show of the decade. Top pleb filter as well.

>>84523861
Cinematography, acting and sound direction are well above most "best" films of all time. I know the story won't be interest to a lot of people, sadly I'm biased and can't comment since I'm a catholic but I found it a real piece of art as well. There's a lot of love put into this.

Apparently some catholics were against this series? I can't understand why, only if they're the "liberal" kind of catholic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isgydm69YLE
This scene made me cry.

If the next Pope series is even half as good I'll be happy.

>>84524128
It will suffer the True Detective curse. S2 will be vilified because it cannot match S1. Lenny knew this.

>>84515858
This show is awful and ends so abruptly because it's beyond redemption. The idea of this shit being kino is a reddit-tier meme.

I can tell from the first episode that this will be sacrilegious bullshit.

TYP is the NGE of Europe.
It's full of waifus that we should discuss
Young Keaton>Iceland prime mistress>PR gal> Ms. Barrenwomb

The problem I have with shows like this is that they are basically taking the premise "Hehehe, the pope is an atheist asshole, watch what happens next!" and turning it into a show.

It is a fucking disgrace, and is a symptom of our sick and degenerate culture.

I'm not religious, but the fact that people have no respect for institutions, and vice versa, institutions no respect for the people they serve, sickens me.

It's not a fucking joke to portray the pope as some atheist shitbag rude faggot like this show, it's not a joke that the actual pope is some commie scumbag spic who kisses muslim feet.

Everything about our culture is such a fucking travesty and I want you all annihilated in a nuclear winter.

He is not atheist you dumb fucker. He has direct line with God and he knows it. He is just being edgy so people don't go all "It's the messiah!!" on him. He needs them to fear his retribution. He needs them to think he lost his mind.

>>84524331
Again people who didn't watch the show. The show tries to elevate Catholicism from its current disgraced state. It shows a Pope trying to respect the church.

Lenny very obviously believes in God even if he says he doesn't as you can clearly see him pray in some episodes. Not only that he's the only character CERTAIN of his existence.

Juvenile garbage. I can imagine some sad 13 year old fedora tipping version of Catholic writing this while stroking his ego.

memes aside, I think you have to be raised catholic to appreciate the themes

This show had quality cinematography and sound quality but its story doesn't hold up. On HBO they had BTS segments to see if maybe this show was 3deep5me but the clips were the director saying the most obvious stupid shit about the show. It's clearly trying to take the antihero protagonist show craze and make a religious show out of it.
