Warrior Nun feels revived and reenergized as it begins the second season nobody was originally sure it would receive. There’s a lot to sort out, like Adriel’s true lineage and who will survive the continued bloodshed. But as Ava, Alba Baptista is ready to lead the charge.
For those new to the series, Season 2’s release is the perfect opportunity to jump in, especially without the two year wait between seasons. Delivering striking action with a tasteful amount of sacrilege, Warrior Nun’s return is a quick binge absolutely worth your devotion.

Report
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Just saw the trailer for season 2 and remembered watching it. Warrior Nun is what I call a guilty pleasure, you know it is bad, but you can't stop watching. As a review I can't give more than 6 points and that is a stretch, yet at the same time - if you are into urban fantasy - I can highly recommend it. It is over the top Buffy like fun with a great female lead.
Report
The story is promising unfortunately the direction and the how is filmed is terrible.
Is so bad that you never get an immersive sensation and empathy with the main character.
The psychology of of the characters is damn bad that is embarrassing for a production of this caliber.
The girl main character is not believable at all even if the actress is giving a decent performance.
The other actors instead look like they're just started an acting school.
When you see a Netflix series in 2020that where the image quality is less than most of youtube video the question is : why Netflix impose the use of a peculiar camera if after the results are so bad?
The editing also contribute to the not immersive sensation.
I only watch 3 episodes and it was almost a painful experience.
If you want to show on a film school how to avoid to make **** TV series show this one.
Vote 2: 1 for the costumes one for the main character actress.
