Another hot take! Pope is my fav character.
It may just be me, but Pope is the only one who shows empathy. Did he do disgusting things in life? YES. Now, I’m only at the end of season two. Being a parent is big, because mine weren’t and I am the best parent I know, even after overcoming drug addiction, molestation, growing up without a mom and dad, jail. It made me better. I feel Pope hates himself and wants so badly to change, but his ‘mom’ fucked him up so badly.
