	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Paolo Sorrentino’s first miniseries has a delicious conceit and a more soap opera-ish narrative than previously seen, balancing outlandishness with trenchancy."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A heady taster boasting extraordinary visuals, fascinating Vatican machinations (...) 'The Young Pope' is an amusingly, exhilaratingly mischievous piece of work. There are all the makings of a cult hit. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Sharply drawn characters and an enjoyably irreverent fantasy keep you guessing."	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Those early chapters reveal a show that’s either searching for a tone or perhaps creating it as it goes along (...) Still, 20 percent of the way into 'The Young Pope', we have a series that asks provocative questions about the nature of power and faith."	NEU
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"The 112 byzantine minutes on display were enigmatic, gorgeous, fascinating (...) Whether there’s enough to sustain a 10-episode series written, conceived and directed by Sorrentino and employing his usual creative team, very much remains to be seen."	POS
