Yeah, I was being a little too flippant about its themes, good point. It's easy to get lost in the absolutely over-the-top religion/cult stuff, but the friendship between the two main characters, culminating with their scene on the boat was actually really sweet. And it's a beautifully filmed show, absolutely. Flanagan shows tend to be, even when they have very little else going for them. The priest was extremely funny, I agree with you there. I thought he was a great character, all in all. His tragic flaws were very believable too.
