Warrior Nun: Ephesians 6:11 (2020)
A Return To Form
Still not as much action as the first episode, but a lot better than episode 2.
Ava spends some real time with the OCS and we get to know the other nuns a little better. There's some interesting dynamics at play between characters here. Mother Superion is introduced and has little time for Ava, understandably so. Lilith's annoyance at not getting the halo continues to be explored as she does her best to push Ava out. And we get some nicer scenes between Ava and Beatrice, who seems to be the most receptive to their new Warrior Nun not being an actual nun.
There's also some cool stuff explaining the history of the halo, the origins of the Warrior Nun and the OCS. I guess it's exposition, but the way they do it doesn't feel like that, and Ava is just so damn likable that watching her read out of a book for several scenes is genuinely good TV.
JC and his pals only feature briefly here, which definitely improves the pacing. And with Dr Salvius now after Ava too, things are looking pretty interesting.

Bit Slower Than Opener, But Still Interesting
So this episode slows things way down compared to the opening one. However it feels like there's a lot of important characters, and plot points, introduced during it.
The group of friends Ava makes continue to be the weakest link, so far. Ava experiencing the world for the first time is nice though, and Baptista plays her with such pure joy that it's hard to moan about the lack of action.
The introduction of ArcTech and science vs faith angle is an interesting one. Hard to know exactly what's going on there, and how it will all tie in with the OCS and Ava in future episodes, but there's definitely a lot of world building happening in this episode, and at least it's interesting.

Excellent Opening Episode
A really great first episode for this show.
Introduces us to the main character, Ava, and some of the supporting ones, while sprinkling some of the show's lore throughout. Does enough to get you interested, but leaves a lot of questions to be answered in later episodes.
A much more serious show than I was expecting but still has a good level of humor in it.
The setting of a secret sect of nuns within the Catholic Church is an interesting one. I'm not usually a fan of fantasy, but this setting is somewhat familiar already, which allowed me to just get on board straight away. It also allows for some amazing locations and cool shots.
