Italian television has a knack for doing more with less, and The New Pope is a prime example. It's currently available in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and YouTube TV, and in the UK on Sky Go, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.
Originally commissioned by Sky Atlantic , The New Pope quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. As Pope Pius XIII hangs between life and death in a coma, charming and sophisticated moderate English aristocrat Sir John Brannox is placed on the papal throne and adopts the name John Paul III. A sequel series to “The Young Pope.” It aired in 2020.
If you're looking for television that takes its characters seriously and rewards patient viewing, The New Pope is exactly that. One of the more rewarding dramas of its era.
