[watching] WTF! Warrior Nun

I saw the advertising for this and thought not really for me, although I rate Thekla Reuten who has a supporting role.
 
This isn't it:

In Brutal Legend's multiplayer, Battle Nuns are the first, and the most common, of hierarchy units available to Tainted Coil players. For a cost of 75 fans, players can produce Battle Nuns who are themselves able to spawn either Soul Kissers or Punishing Parties onto the Battlefield at their location. The Battle Nun herself is a melee unit, and is able to regenerate not only her own health but that or nearby allied units. More powerful types of Battle Nun can also be produced, who in turn spawn more powerful units themselves.
 
Episode 1 watched at lunchtime. Interesting. Worth me watching a couple more to see where it goes with this.
 
I’ve tried.

YA. (Might’ve been interested if the nuns were old enough to do the job).

Paced for bingeing (ie. slow).

You can tell it’s cool and trendy and adult by the free use of the “F” word.

As you can tell - not for me.
 
Or you could strap a couple of chain guns to Sally Field.

The aerofoil wimple looks rather fun. I always thought the starch was there for a reason - now I know. I was educated by 3 lots of nuns - French Franciscan nuns at nursery school in Cairo, the Sisters of the Holy Cross and Benedictine nuns at secondary school (the Benedictines took over when the SotHC were transferred to duties in Africa). Then I moved to the De la Salle Brothers for A levels (no sciences at the convent).
 
Based on the premise and being something of a comic book geek, this looked like just my sort of thing (although I've never read any Warrior Nun Areala, and the comics looks WAY too cheesy for my tastes). The trailer looked good, but having managed to plough through the first couple of episodes, I gave up.

I'm now watching Doom Patrol, which is truly excellent and although he's not involved, seems to be very heavily channelling the spirit of Grant Morrison's more surreal stuff.

After finishing the season, I checked the Wikipedia entry for the comics, and they seem to be related in the traditional media adaptation way. That is, most of the names are the same, but everything else has been changed.
