The project tells the story of the beginning of the Pontificate of Pius XIII, born Lenny Belardo (Law). He was a complex and conflicted character, so conservative in his choices as to border on obscurantism, yet full of compassion towards the weak and poor. This Pope is a man of great power who’s stubbornly resistant to the Vatican courtiers, unconcerned with the implications for his authority. During the series, Belardo will face losing those closest to him and the constant fear of being abandoned, even by his God. A man who is, however, not afraid of undertaking the millennial mission of defending that same God and the world representing Him.

Somebody bump this with the early ep before the premiere date notice.

I'm eagerly awaiting this.
 
The show got great reviews and acclaim in Europe and has a 2nd season on the way. Kind of excited what it's all about.

Yea HBO Europe has had it for a while and Sky(who they split the costs with) in Great Britain had it as well. I mean you have to understand the politics. This is a show that might not garner enough interest in the US where the catholic population isn't large. It was a way for HBO to hedge their costs and changes. My friend's dad caught the episodes that premiered in hbo Europe already and loved it so I have high hopes.
 
I'll be chill on this just cuz I got a few other shows (and movies) to catch up on and keep up with :lol:

Try to limit it to 2 or 3 eps a week.

I follow a model on the gram and she was watching it on her story about a week ago around the time I saw the trailer and I was wondering how she was watching it 

She lives in Paris so it makes sense now 

Watched the first episode and I thought it was pretty good/funny.
