First of all, I applaud the cast and directors for delivering the second - and long awaited - season of 'The Young Pope'. It was a long wait, and the anticipation and expectations were soaring. Probably this is why for me, 'The New Pope' failed to live up to the bar. The setting fits the overall storyline, but the series evolved painfully slow without a reason. Also, I was very saddened by the choice of music during the episodes, the scores from the first season going extremely well in setting the mood of the stage, while in this season, they just angered me. Another thing I didn't understand was the excessive nudity and lack of reason for it.
All in all, 'The Young Pope' shook me to my bones and triggered emotions in me with every sentence. 'The New Pope', although still posing strong characteristics and cinematography, has left me unsatisfied and somehow with a feeling of emptyness.
