Weekly Watches: The Testaments and Margo’s Got Money Troubles
Two excellent TV series I'm watching weekly are at a point where I'm ready to talk about them. They are The Testaments and Margo's Got Money Troubles. Normally I like to wait until something is complete so I can binge it. This is because I'm quite old and my memory is gone. But these two series are so powerful and strong, they make an indelible impression. Let's see how the old brain holds up.

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
