I was in a Roman Catholic seminary in the early 2000s and I am struck by how closely the patterns of thought and in some cases behavior rampant in the church at the time is still very much alive and well, according to my experience and observation. In that sense, viewers should be very much aware that they've captured a certain ethos behind the cloth in the church. Well done. Just remember, this just as much a story of the present as of the past...

I watched all 9 episodes and was hoping the plot and dialogue would become more meaningful or create more suspense & intrigue. While the costumes are fantastic and the cast excellent, this production suffers unfortunately from uninspired script writing. I'm disappointed overall, but maybe because "The Tudors" has now "set the bar" for Showtime excellence. Sorry to conclude that this drama series pales greatly by comparison.

This was probably the best semi-historical series I had seen since HBO's Rome. There were obviously certain parts a little lacking in acting ability but this was not the majority. The fact that they will not conclude the history or the series and left it with such a cliff hanger is more than just a little bit annoying.
