Sorry, but I hated it. Cardboard characters (several surely invented out of thin air), a contrived whiff of a romantic interest to sex up the plot, and cartoon bad guys. I went back to it several repetedly as it aired to see if it'd improve, but was unable to keep watching more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time. A professional production, but irredeemably shallow IMHO.

Wow. I suppose it can be seen that way too. :-(

Let's lower our expectations a bit and understand that this is not a documentary, but a docu-drama. This is theater, an interpretation of Pope Wojtyla's life and not a rigurous biography.

Perhaps if you approach it that way you may learn to enjoy it.

Compared to a lot of the crap you see on TV these days, it was a refreshing change of pace...but you can't please everyone, as we have seen.
