I haven't finished this series but I've caught about two episodes and the premise is a little intriguing. Coming from a family that values religious doctrines and history, I was always a little fascinated by the concept of the Vatican and how a fictional story would work with it. Jude Law plays an interesting character, even if he frustrated me a few times (The whole god-complex thing this character goes through is kind of annoying). If it's one thing I hate about HBO's shows however, is the liberal use of sexual content (including rape, incest, etc.), violence, etc. Sometimes it's just so unnecessary and thrown in for shock value that it makes their shows so unwelcoming and this show is no different. Not that filmmakers/show makers shouldn't be allowed to use that type of content in their stories, but it's a little bit much for me when used in the extremes that these shows have been known to use.
How you do all feel about this if you have seen it? Should more shows about religious affiliations be made, or are they overstepping their bounds?
