I like this idea. It is a good one, but it also opens up the multiverse. Not just celestial realms. Do we want to go there?

I suspect the creator of the comics this TV-series is based on would not. Which isn't saying much, considering the multitude of mutilations going around in visual media.

Maybe you haven't reached that part yet either, but Jillian Salvius explains that she expects to send her son to another dimension where he will not die. She doesn't mean Heaven; she doesn't seem to be at all religious. So, the idea is already within the story that our names for these realms are simply human constructs.

However, I'm completely with @Elckerlyc here:

I wouldn't for the world let my child walk through whatever gate without knowing where it led to. (but I don't have kids, terminally ill or otherwise, so what do I know.)

... but Jillian Salvius explains that she expects to send her son to another dimension where he will not die.

Yes, but on what is this expectation based? If this comes from the same source as the design of the gate, it's duplicitous.

I get that, it was obvious from her first speech that she cave with the Cardinal present at the meeting. Obviously she had a reason, but it's madness to think it'll work.

I just saw Lilith's death. Spectacular.

I really enjoyed the scenes after the death. The walk to the mountains is so similar to Jesus walk on desert. And I thought there's more in this series than the YA angle. So much more. And in places it's kind of surprisingly deep.

I watched the first 3 episodes last night, after seeing it recommended here. Good entertainment, though I wouldn't necessarily like to put all elements of the plot under rigorous examination. Looking forward to the rest of it.

The lead is a very expressive actor. Reminds me a bit of a young Caroline Proust (Spiral/Engrenages).

Definitely not those in ep4. Eek! Another one like that and I'm probably out.

1. I assumed they'd taken the shield from the lab after Eva had dispelled the Tarask with it. WHY ON EARTH DIDN'T THEY?

2. I assumed that as well as turning up to impress the squatters and telling them to contact her if Eva returned, Dr Salvius (?) would at least keep the house under surveillance. But it turned out, nope! Nothing. Of course it would have been much more clever to bug the place and not reveal her interest at all.

3. Eva decides she shouldn't abandon her friend Diego and arrives, several days after last seeing him, right the minute before he's due to be killed? THAT WAS LUCKY. Why is he about to be murdered anyway? Eva was only killed because she was about to leave the place -- he's still got years.

4. Why aren't the OCS panicking that Eva is out there without her armour, which F Vincent told us was the only thing that stopped the Tarask tracking her down? They don't even mention the fact.

I agree, except that you may need to watch until the end for a complete understanding some of the character motivations. At least, among the members of the clergy, they are not as straightforward as they appear to be. On the other hand, there are probably a lot more plot holes if I went back and reviewed the whole thing in detail. I doubt much would stand scrutiny. I think that in this show, you are just supposed to enjoy the ride.

 

[The Big Peat]

Watching it and it's acceptably mediocre but maybe too mediocre to stick with. Don't like how it can't decide it it's serious or fun; kinda splits the difference is neither.

They never are and if you compare real life people to these fictionalised character, it's the same thing. The clerky isn't carved from same wood. There are a lot different variables. Out of three, I really don't like Mother Superior, but I can understand two other motivations. Especially Vincent.

It is also kind of funny how it is brought forward through the people in the mountains that the church is just a building to worship God. It is the people that makes the thing real. Not the building. Also it is real eye opening when you see the victims of Hell's past incursions and how willing they are to help sisters with whatever they want.

In the real life there are quite few nuns that I've seen in the Shepherd Bush or at North Kensington and people tend to avoid them. They don't want to approach them and they give room, without interaction almost as if they're somehow contagious.

From personal perspective I understand Ava's caring nun and why she was showing bad temper, because the job is not easy. And it's very hard to show love and caring inside a strict sect day in, day out. Although what happened to her, needed to be done. There's no doubt about it.

As a not very good Catholic I've known a few nuns over the years and the majority are beautiful kind people. Best to keep the discussion to the show and leave the religion out.

I do agree they are beautiful, but I've also observed how people behave around them. But I get the hint and leave all of it out. Apologies.

You have misunderstood me. I wasn't trying to do that. I just don't want to spoil. You need to watch until the end then you will understand better.

What a twist of turn of events. Man, the ending is epic, and I cannot think any other series than Constantine that had similar kind of ending. Will this get a new series? We'll see and I really hope so, but I wouldn't bet on it, because of the fate of Constantine.

So "a devil" lied to the crusaders and all the saw was what they wanted to see. It was pure faith, but if Adrial was among the angels that were cast down from Heaven for supporting Mr Morningstar, then why kept the halo? Did he kill for it?

Season Two has come and passed without comments. Possibly because it was disappointing?
Not surprising than that the series has been cancelled. The story was more or less concluded anyway.

But now this news surfaced: Warrior Nun to continue as Film Trilogy?
Why a film, why a trilogy?
