Conclave
I loved the drama in this. The garb and aesthetic of the Vatican truly lends itself to captivating visual presentation too, brought alive by brilliant shots and superb acting.
The only thing that I think fell short was surprisingly the final twist. It's definitely shocking, but felt almost like shock value on top of a point that had already been made. Not to say that an intersex Pope wouldn't be cool, it just didn't add anything necessarily, for me, for a last-minute twist.
Excellent - 9/10
