Church politics never looked this appealing

, you won't be terribly lost. Most of what occurred duringwas resolved in its series finale, and the only repercussions are that Pius XIII aka Lenny Belardo is in a coma that he unlikely will not wake up from. So a new pope has to be elected. And as always the political machinations amongst the cardinals and in particular that of the Secretary of State, Cardinal Voiello is what most of this series revolves around.

They somehow convince enigmatic Sir John Brannox to take up the position of Supreme Pontiff. John Malkovitch, as usual, is magnificent but I was confused by his accent. His accent was often affected by some American and even Italian pronunciations but I soon just gave up on trying to place it and accepted it for what it was.

In the end, Pius XIII obviously wakes up and takes his place as Pope again. Only to die while crowd surfing? I don't know. There were a lot of parts of this show that were very confusing to me. I didn't understand Lenny at the beach at the very end. Was he in Heaven? This was the same beach where his cult of followers also walked into. What is going on? It's all very existential. But maybe I just don't understand director Paolo Sorrentino's vision with this.
