The New Pope

Absolutely deranged. Makes the first season look like Sex & The City. Sorrentino spends the first episode on breakneck Vatican conspiracy, the next six episodes lulling about with John Malkovich as an existentialist pope and the final two are an absolutely incoherent rush of spiritual melodrama with enough surplus plot for a whole other show. Totally brilliant use of music and asks so many compelling questions. Malkovich takes control but when Law returns you really feel it come to life. Silvio Orlando is the soul of the show, though. A pantheon performance. Took me a while to finish this but I rushed through the last few episodes in a day. Very messy, but worth it.
