Warrior Nun

I literally cannot handle not getting a season 3 after the season 2 finale. This is such a unique story and I love all the characters. Please don't let the story end here! Ava has gone through so much throughout the show and she has grown as a character as well. We see how much the characters love each and if it is a possibility for there to be resurgence of Mary then that is what I expect once we get season 3. This show is incredibly underrated and if I could fund season 3 myself I literally would so please watch it because there are so many ways this story could end. I found myself absolutely fawning over avatrice but also the way all the other characters supported them!

I didn't really know what to expect with Warrior Nun but I gave it a chance and found it to be a pretty good show. I think season 2 was even better than the first. It's a pretty fun show with plenty of action. Most of the people leaving bad reviews are people saying they only watched 10 minutes or maybe an episode but base an entire series off that. Who does that? Who only watches 10 minutes and then bases an entire series off that? Not only that but then takes the time to come write a negative review? The good news is that it was popular enough that it was renewed for a second season and hopefully a third after how good this past season was. If you're looking for a new fun sci-fi/fantasy show to binge watch then give this a try.

Please please give us Season 3. This series is exceptionally unique, well-produced, shows women's strength, is filmed in Europe, has actors with exceptional chemistry, I could go on. Congratulations Netlix for such an amazing show. To be frank, at first the combination of common vernacular with a divine supernatural theme felt wrong. Instead, it turns out that it works so very well. It feels both divine and modern. Last little note is about the fight sequences. Both the choreography and the execution of the fights is outstanding. And don't get me started on the final episode... epic, truly epic.

First, I must say that I watched it through. As such I at least gave it a 7. I never watch anything through if it's not at least a 7.

Overall I liked the show, but after I finished I felt it could be so much more. For the good parts, the acting is overall good, specially from Ms. Alba. She's really expressive and charming, but for me her dialogues were too cheesy and teen "angsty". Teen "angstyness" is something really prevalent in today's shows, specially on Netflix, as the target audience is mostly teenagers and twenty somethings. Yeah there was an evolution in the characters attitude through the episodes but not that much. Too much drama and teen conflicts and too little action and fighting on her part. I hope in second season she gets the chance to to more. The overall plot is interesting enough, but it only started showing what it's about in the last episode. This season had serious pacing problems. Too much time spent with teen drama and romance, and too little in the actual plot. The show is called Warrior Nun for a reason. Several dialogues had me cringing. The teeny rebellious jokes were overused. So those were the things that harmed the experience for me, pacing, bad dialogues, specially for the main character and the over focus on teen drama. That said I was left wanting to see more in the second season, so here am I hoping for things to get better.

Warrior Nun: A secret order of nuns dedicated to combating demons, generally just the wraith type which possess people but occasionally more fearsome ones. Their leader is killed during an ambush and her internal halo is transplanted into a dead girl. Ava (Alba Baptista), reanimating her and bestowing superpowers on her. The Halo has been passed down for centuries and was meant for another nun who is now jealous. We get nuns armed with crossbows, swords, rifles. These are Ninja Nuns. There is a conniving Cardinal and a lot of Church intrigue. A scientist is also involved who has her own plans for Church relics made from Divinium (a bit like unobtainium). Ava runs away and teams up with a gang of young grifters. Great combat scenes, well imagined demons. The RCC Hierarchy don't come out of this smelling of roses so it may substantially differ from the comic book series it's based on. Good fantasy thriller. 8/10. Ten episodes, on Netflix.
