The Young Pope Jude Law Is On A Mission ... But Is It Really From God? By Lori Acken

Inside: Top 10 Picks TV Everywhere New Releases New on HBO New on Showtime New on Starz New on Cinemax TV Entertainment Understanding Your Main Menu

The titular character in Paolo Sorrentino’s new HBO limited series The Young Pope is a 47-year-old Brooklyn-born orphan named Lenny Belardo who earned his place in the Vatican by learning to play the system. Because there is always a system — even in the mother ship of Catholicism. And Lenny — now Pope Pius XIII — isn’t the least bit apologetic about how he earned his pristine white cassock and zucchetto. Or his plan while he has them. No question, the initial draw of The Young Pope is the guy who plays him — movie star Jude Law. With his noble features and impassive expression, Law looks like a Roman statue come to life. But his Pius XIII wants to be the Banksy or Salinger of eminence — a holy, hidden rock star whose real power lies in his mystique, even to the perplexed cardinals who thought they’d secured a pretty puppet more inclined to bow to their wishes than the calculating Cardinal Spencer (James Cromwell, never better), Lenny’s embittered mentor. Thus, shrouded in darkness, Pius XIII delivers a fire-and-brimstone first address that warns the baffled assembly that God is all that matters. No room for free will or liberty. No need for friends and neighbors. “I’m not going to show you the way,” he thunders, as lightning flashes and rain pours down. “Search for it. And perhaps when you see God, you’ll see me, as well. … I’m not sure you deserve me.” As Lenny’s surrogate mother, the enterprising Sister Mary, Diane Keaton is utter deliciousness. So is Silvio Orlando as Cardinal Voiello, the Vatican City’s secretary of state and a world-weary, good-hearted man who is nonplussed to see his church-reviving diplomatic agenda torpedoed by a renegade. “They chose a pope they didn’t know,” says Pius XIII on the heels of his rain-soaked proclamation. “And today they’re beginning to realize who I am.” The Young Pope — HBO — Sundays & Mondays beginning Jan. 15
