I just watched the first episode of this last night and it was kind of hypnotic. I'm pretty sure I'm going all in.
This kind of thing is right up my alley. Papal political intrigue, behind-the-scenes creepiness in the Vatican. Makes me think that HBO might be the place for an adaptation of "The Sparrow" if such a thing ever comes to fruition.
The description on iTunes says, "Imagine House of Cards set in a Vatican that's as strange as Twin Peaks..." Seems pretty fitting so far. I am definitely into it based on what I've seen so far.
