9/10
Well balanced, beautifully written script, plenty of fun.

It was everything I was hoping for, great set, awesome cast. Lots of swish vocabulary being delivered and not overdone. My thoughts after 30 minutes were "This is going to be Boardwalk Empire in the Vatican" and more. That's not to say that this is like anything done before, more, totally hasn't been done before, and instead of the huge music scores and frowning gown clergy, you get an unpredictable drama, plenty of humour and some wonderfully shot scenes - None of which distract. Jude Law plays the Pope like your father plays the villain when you have a friend over - His vindictive nature is apparent and has you rubbing your hands for the next time the Pope wants to single somebody out... He suffers no fools... Watch it folks, it's fantastic!

Bering Sea Gold (2012– )
10/10
A really good account of a community making ends meet

My TV dinner is coupled with recorded episodes of Bering Sea Gold. Not that I am always in front of the TV when I'm enjoying a meal, but for those nights when supper is a pizza and some TV, this show fits perfectly and it's been that way around here with Bering Sea Gold for a while, we love it in my house. It's incredible what these folks do in real terms and I feel that we've seen a good balance from the producers... The deal is simple, people risk their lives even before they dive by taking those little vessels out on the ocean (and get this! The ice too!!!!) and we get to see it all kicking off, nothing is hidden. The cast is awesome and there's something for everyone in the pot in terms of characters to warm to, The Kelleys are my favourites and I'd love to see them do well! Keep up the great work with this production, I'm not sure I'd survive without my fix of the Kelleys and the on and off friendship of the rest. Brilliant!
