Warrior Nun

Despite the rather mature levels of violence the scripting and tone of this series, places it firmly, in my view, in the teen demographic.

I found much of the dialogue cringe worthy from an adult point of view. It's a little immature and unsurprisingly there's an inject of the woke nonsense, we see everywhere in Western entertainment.

All of which is very much at odds, I would have thought with the rather ugly and often graphic violence, I came across in the first episode.

Acting is passable, as is the storyline but if this was supposed to be accessible to older viewers, I really think this one well and truly misses the mark.

5/10.

Warrior Nun exceeded my expectations in a TV show. It’s entirely different and breaks tradition. It takes inspiration from the world of the original Warrior Nun comics from the 90s. I’ve never read them, but you don’t have to; it’s a completely different story. Sure, the title threw me off the first time I checked it out, as it might throw off anyone. However, I was so pleased with the result of it all.

This is a unique story, one that really intrigued me and I enjoyed it at every turn. I think it’s really important to pay attention to the main character’s journey and self-discovery. I also love the development of not only the main character, but the rest as well. I couldn’t help but get attached to almost every one of them as they brought something special of their own to the show. The actors play their roles well and I applaud them constantly. The cast is diverse and their individual personality brings something great each time to the table.

The storyline itself is complex but awesome and I think they do a great job giving you the lore and context of it all. There is a lot to dissect but they do it well. Not to mention, the show entails a lot of action, some comedy, good angst, and badass nuns fighting for what they believe is good. Although this entails religion and the Catholic church, and might not be everyone’s cup of tea at first, I saw someone put perfectly that it’s more about these women fighting for their faith, and learning to question a little tradition, rather than fighting for the institution or powerful figures themselves.

Season 2 just came out and I have to say that it was PHENOMENAL. They turned up the action and the storyline and additional development of each character, even new ones. It left me on the edge of my seat every episode. If you like character development, amazing action (that the actors did 80% of themselves I believe), then this is for you. The actors truly and I mean truly gave it their all this season and they deserve all the recognition. The director and additional writers know how to write a show and the results of Warrior Nun give us that. I could go on and on if you couldn’t tell.

So please give Warrior Nun a try because it might surprise you. They deserve a renewal for Season 3 so show this amazing group of people some love!
