Betty Gilpin stars as Sister Simone, a roguish nun recruited to shut down the A.I. algorithm that has conquered humanity. You know, the usual!
is a misbegotten exploitation of the graphic novel, with its crackerjack cast, score, and commitment to genuinely bizarre imagery negated by Lindelof’s almost childlike insistence on punishing all the bad guys and turning cops into an anti-racist vanguard, a concept far more outlandish than a floating naked blue guy who can teleport to Mars.is shaping up to be a very minor work.
One of the big tricks the show pulls near the start to get you in the what-the-fuck mindset Lindelof and co-creator Tara Hernandez want to cultivate is showing us a whole anti-magician mission by Simone: She rides up on horseback from the middle of nowhere in full nun regalia to expose the fact that a gory car crash involving an unfaithful husband and his decapitated would-be one-night stand is all a shakedown by a trio of stage magicians.
But that shield soon shatters. For reasons that soon become apparent, Mrs. Davis is fixated on Simone, one of the few people left on Earth who refuses to interact with her. The algorithm pings Simone’s picture to the entire population of the American West in an attempt to force her to make contact. When Mrs. Davis uses her pawns to get the convent shut down, Simone is given little choice but to comply.
