Was there a behind-the-scenes reason? I always just assumed the actor wanted to leave and they cut short whatever they were planning for him.

Yeah that's absolutely not a thing.

Grief is a tough thing because you can be totally fine for a while and then it just hits you again. It rises and falls like the tide and all you can do is bob along and try and ride the waves when they come and go.
It's wild when you think of all the other shows that have come and gone entirely in the same period.
I'd watch the shit out of that. But also, how many Popes are tough on crime? Is this a papal genre that I've been mysteriously unaware of for decades?
