Watched episode 1... was bored. Watched episode 2 just to verify... yep. It sux.

The premise is cool. 10/10 on production value..

But it's more dull than last night's crowd at the bear's basketball game.

Is there some underlying amazement that I'm too daft to comprehend or is HBO just trolling us to see how much faith we have in something they produce?

Don't see me tuning in for more.

I watched the first two episodes too and not sure if I'll watch the rest. I thought it be more interesting with Jude Law and Diane Keaton.

I watched the first episode and wasn't blown away, but thought maybe it would pick up in episode two. It did not. I was excited about it based on the previews but it just didn't deliver.

I'm actually loving this show. Apart from the dank costumes & acting.

The whole story is based on real events.(No one should be shocked) That is why I like it the most. Just a reminder of why the church should never be absolute again. People need reminding from time to time.

Yeah, this in no way is based on real events. It's about a 47 year old American Pope.
