The first two episodes of The New Pope debuted at the Venice Film Festival.  This article from THR includes a clip from HBO, which appears to be the new opening credits for the show.  The article itself is VERY spoilery for the first two episodes. 

Jude Law on Wearing a "Napkin" in 'The New Pope,' Paolo Sorrentino on Gender Equality in Nudity

Its coming back, but debuting this Monday.

Not much coverage, no reviews that I can find.

Instead most of the attention seems to be on The Outsider, which isn't getting great reviews.

The New Pope has started.  This forum link is tagged in the post above.  If you're watching, head on over and share your thoughts.

Remember this pope?

He is now stripped of regalia, laying on a table wearing nothing but a strategically placed towel.  Come over to the new show forum for The New Pope and see what a near naked Jude Law elicits.
