Warrior Nun is an action/fantasy/adventure series created by Simon Barry starring Alba Baptista.
This series for young adults is showing signs of being a success, having been granted its second season. It is based on the comic ‘Warrior Nun Areala’ by Ben Dunn, who has also written God’s Silver Soldiers backup stories: Tales of Nazareth: The Boyhood of Jesus, thematically close to that in the series.
Premise
After waking up in a morgue, Ava, a quadriplegic orphaned teen discovers she is the chosen one, the Halo-Bearer for a secret sect of demon-hunting nuns.
About the Series
A quite well produced series, in which various genres merge. It has action, fantasy, sci-fi and drama.
So, if you are seeking something down to earth and serious, the title is a definite give away that that is not what you will find in this series. There is a lot of action, there are intrigues, there are goodies and baddies. It is entertainment in its purest form.
The aesthetics of the film is rather well elaborated, with good photography, scenography and costume design.
Some have referred to it as an absolute superficial disaster, and yes, it is banal and the characters are not pursuing an introspective free-dive. These are characters based on a comic book that in turn has sought inspiration in the biblical figures. Curious take, isn’t it?
In either case, this is a series that will probably entertain many a teen or members of the young adult audience thanks to its high entertainment value.
It is not a series that will impress, though. But we do give it that the cinematography and the special effects are acceptable.
Our Opinion
A series that is amusing, quirky in its own peculiar way – thematically, particularly – and that does not pretend to be the best series in television history. We will admit that the production quality was better than we had expected.
