Warrior Nun

The war between God and Evil is on. Ninja nuns with a divine power and a kickass attitude hold the line and maintain the balance against the power of darkness.

I am a huge fan of angel stories and all things related to biblical storylines so I was very surprised when I only recently learned of this series. After watching a few episodes I found it was slow to pick up the pace, but by episode 5 I was invested in the outcome and had become interested in the characters.

Well written and well thought out, definitely a great series and worth recommending after seeing the first season. Mixes fact and fantasy well with a blurred line between the two. A very pleasant surprise and I am looking forward to Season 2.

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.

I didn't even know that this series existed before stumbling upon it on Netflix one evening by browsing through the contents on Netflix. The synopsis for "Warrior Nun" sounded interesting, so I sat down to watch it.

And I ended up binge watching the series. Yeah, I must say that it caught on with me right away. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters portrayed in the series. And I must admit that I was surprised to find that they actually made a TV series of a comic book that I used to read back in my teens.

Well, the story told in "Warrior Nun" was definitely entertaining, because there were a good solid main storyline and the sub-plots that ran correspondingly with the main storyline were quite nice as well, and they were tied rather nicely in with one another. And "Warrior Nun" was definitely more than just a TV series focused on the main character Ava (played by Alba Baptista), because most characters in the movie definitely contributed something interesting and entertaining to the storylines.

But not only was the storyline good; the action in the episodes was just spectacular. I was really impressed with the action scenes and sequences throughout the episodes. That was definitely something that brought a great amount of enjoyment to watching the show for me.

Visually then "Warrior Nun" was just spectacular. The special effects and CGI in the episodes were rather good, and definitely added a very dynamic, if not realistic, layer to the show. And special effects definitely help to cement a series such as "Warrior Nun", to make it stand out from the countless other series readily available with a press of a button.

It should be said that the cast in the series was rather good, and they definitely had some interesting actresses and actors cast for the various roles throughout the show. Aside from the main actress Alba Baptista, "Warrior Nun" also boasts the likes of Kristina Tonteri-Young, Toya Turner, Thekla Reuten, Sylvia De Fanti and Joaquim de Almeida to mention but a few.

I was generally very impressed with season one and entertained by each episode. However, I must admit that the ending to the last episode was rather anti-climatic for me, and it just sort of felt like the air seeped out of the balloon at that time. But luckily there is a second season coming, so that is good news.

My rating of "Warrior Nun" is a sure seven out of ten stars. This series is well worth the time and effort.

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.

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!
