Well maybe the ad guys totally did a poor job at selling me the premise, but the imagery they gave me was of some creepy, almost demonic freak that was looking to dissolve the catholic church from the inside and replace it with some neo-satanic cult order. And of course there were the suggestions of some sexual sub-plot. I really dont want to see that mixed in with a setting like the Vatican.
Not really a prude, just those two things are like oil and water for me.
Not that the CC has been pure and light its whole history, but in light of today’s state of the church and the west, I really got a bad impression that left me completely turned-off.
But I’ll watch some reviews and see if I’m just being a bit to squeamish.
I don't always agree with movies, or in this case a ten-part TV series, just because I watch them. It is impossible to escape and exclude the world out there we don't like unless we just withdraw and avoid what reality is.
I am not trying to convince you that this series is something that you shouldn't miss. But only that before you make a blanket pronouncement about it being "really disturbing" maybe you should think about seeing what it is about.
