Right now you can watch Warrior Nun in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. 1,318 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Alba Baptista — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Warrior Nun keeps coming up in conversation. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Warrior Nun through its more ambitious moments. After waking up in a morgue, an orphaned teen discovers she now possesses superpowers as the chosen Halo-Bearer for a secret sect of demon-hunting nuns. Alba Baptista and Thekla Reuten lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. The series ran for 2 seasons (2020–2022), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What separates Warrior Nun from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Warrior Nun a chance. Viewers who responded to Constantine will find a lot to like here too. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Watch for Alba Baptista in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Warrior Nun was cancelled in 2022, created by Simon Barry — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
