Warrior Nun is the rare pulpy fantasy show that knows when to lean into its silly side and when to slow down and get serious. That makes it incredibly addictive for a specific kind of action fan. Read full review

It’s occasionally delightful, thanks largely to Ms. Baptista, who is spunky, petite and bears a striking resemblance to the actress Ellen Page. But the atmosphere is co-opted wholesale from someone’s hysterical view of Catholicism, and as such it feels not profane exactly, but more than a little obvious. Read full review

Warrior Nun‘s main issue is that one half of its story is just infinitely more engaging than the other. ... The saving grace of Warrior Nun‘s more tedious aspects is Baptista herself, whose performance as Ava looks effortlessly charming while still doing a ton of heavy lifting. Read full review

The script can sometimes lean too much on mythological and religious exposition as the nuns explain their mission to Ava, but the actors have such good chemistry that their various pairings—Mary and Ava, Ava and Beatrice, Mary and Lilith—work, and the smartly choreographed fight scenes are well-placed.

A lot hangs on Baptista, who must find enough naivety that we can believe in her transition to warrior hero, but not so much that we can’t believe in her as a hedonistic 19-year-old keen to do pills and get laid. On the evidence of the first episode, she strikes a reasonable balance, and despite some flat dialogue and a predictable plot there is an agreeable energy to Warrior Nun. Read full review

Thematically, Warrior Nun is nothing you haven't seen before, and aesthetically, nothing you ever want to see again. Bleak, dour and trudging, the series contains none of the kitschy, blasphemous fun of its title. Read full review

Inspired by Manga novels, this 10-episode series meanders a lot while offering a "Stranger Things"-type vibe, serving as a weird diversion that, on the road to goodness, doesn't even get halfway there. Read full review

Warrior Nun is an exceptional YA fantasy. It blends its story and its characters seamlessly with an action-packed fantasy atmosphere. It delivers ninja nuns, slick fight sequences, and a decent exploration of how we define what’s good and bad. Sadly, it fizzles at a vital moment in its finale, potentially leaving viewers frustrated by the lack of letting out such deliciously built tension. It also doesn’t help that season 2 didn’t land for nearly 3 years.

Regardless, it’s a must-watch; an addictive romp that does not disappoint.

It doesn't make much sense, but it's fun to watch. I don't regret the time I spent watching this.

A great was to pass some time. Among TV shows it definitely has it's place. The general story was a bit "same old", but it did manage to keep me interested with some of the lore and characters. Generally it's a fun to watch show while you're doing something else.
