Yesterday-ish, I watched through the mini-series "Lambs of God" with Essie Davis, Ann Dowd, and Jessica Barden playing three witches (feral nuns). Sam Reid plays a priest who comes to their diapilated castle to assess the property for sale.

I won't say much more of the plot to avoid spoilers, but I'm a big fan of Sam Reid and he did a pretty good job with his character arc. He conveys his emotions and sincerity very effectively which I appreciate. All the main characters have their own set of inner tumult and how they navigate their difficulties unfolds as a pretty engaging set of stories that I can recommend watching. While it's is witchcraft and pagan rituals, the shows plotline will repeatedly tie it into a sort of Catholic system because that's what the church does. The church (IRL) has historically taken over traditional pagan deities and practices as it's own to give more power to their patriarchal system instead of women-centric system of power. Personally I feel they are definitely witches, simply using whatever labels that they need to in order to continue living in their arena of safety.

4.5/5 Overall
