>> aw will play Lenny Belardo, a conservative American pontiff recruited by a Vatican fed up with liberals. “No one, even at the Vatican, is prepared for how hard-line this American pope really is" <<

Hmmm. Mixed feelings on this one.

On the one hand, I'd LOVE to see a "hard-liner conservative American pontiff" who is recruited by Catholics "fed up with liberals" to take over the Vatican in real life. Sounds like ideal TV to escape away from the horrors of reality in America today.

On the other hand, the idea of Jude Law PORTRAYING a "hard-liner conservative American pontiff" is too ridiculous to take seriously. It would be like casting Natalie Portman to play a fiery Baptist preacher from Alabama, or casting Kirk Cameron to play a hip & cool Hindu Swami who rallies 1960s peaceniks.

Or Dougie Houser playing a womanizer.

I watched the first ep.

Kinda a strange show but high quality, I was very engaged, can’t wait for the next ep. Not sure yet how Catholic-bashy it might be.

Would take this Pope over Bergolio.
