The Two Popes
“Inspired by true events.”
DramaHistory
Frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict. Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church.
VIBE
This is a deeply intimate and contemplative journey into faith and doubt, unfolding through rich, earnest dialogue. It feels like a profound, character-driven exploration of two vastly different men grappling with immense responsibility and the future of an ancient institution. A surprisingly warm and hopeful experience.
