"The Two Popes" anyone?
The opening minute had me hooked. I'm about half way through it and am really enjoying it.

Of course like all of these docu-drama's you have to take the events depicted with a grain of salt. While I'm sure some of the dialogue was based on documented fact and information provided by on the scene staff, there is no way to know for sure.
But even if a small percentage of how their relationship was depicted is accurate, or Pope Francis' s positions accurately portrayed, it was a worthwhile project.
I was impressed at how well the Sistine Chapel was recreated for the filming.
