Lambs of God
Britbox

The new streaming service, Britbox, specialises (as its name suggests) in British films, drama, comedy and documentaries. Browsing through what’s on offer on Britbox is like wandering into a great lumber room of national obsessions: they are all here, in all their glory. Stately homes; terraced streets; Jane Austen; northern grit; southern suburbs; maverick detectives; status anxieties; Dame Judi Dench; Sir David Attenborough; vets; the royal (and Royle) family; reverence; irreverence; the world wars; the 1960s; satire and silliness. I am not sure what the Australian drama series, Lambs of God, is doing lurking in the drama section – but if you feel so moved all the episodes are available to watch there.

The premise of Lambs of God sounds intriguing. Three nuns, old(ish), middle-aged and youthful, are all that remains of an isolated religious community on a remote island somewhere unspecified but sort of Irish. What happens when the modern world suddenly intrudes on their solitude?
