The first few episodes were very exciting. The young pope who seemed to be on the left was actually a radical conservative. The clues and narrative buried in it made the audience very understand the reason for "I am a contradiction", and also made people understand that many things are not one-size-fits-all. Left and right are as simple as that.
A ten-star review. The first time I got Jude Law's appearance, the Pope's set is really good-looking.
Then I stayed up all night to watch the last few episodes, but I didn't watch it carefully, but it felt like the ending wasn't a happy ending with "God may you smile"? It feels like Lenny has gone around in a big circle and finally found his own answer with maturity. As a result, his parents left in front of him again for no reason without waiting for him. Then he failed to hold on and collapsed. Then he can still believe in what he found before. Is it the answer, or did the director deliberately end up thinking this way? If so, I still don't like the sudden reversal of the ending, it's too deliberate. And Lenny's monologues in the last two episodes were a little less convincing to me, and couldn't be as emotional as the devotees in the show. Also, if the evil nun who died of a sudden illness after the prayer was very skillful and people would agree, then the patient's return to light after the prayer really wanted to complain.
