Young Pope
Description
From Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Paolo Sorrentino, the ten-episode limited series The Young Pope tells the fictional story of Lenny Belardo, a.k.a. Pius XIII, the first-ever American Pope and the youngest elected by the College of Cardinals. At first glance, Lenny's selection over older and more experienced clerics - in particular Cardinal Spencer, a fellow American and Lenny's mentor - seems part of a simple media strategy by Vatican elders, who no doubt expect the new Pope to toe the line and follow their lead.
