Did you know Netflix has a fantasy series about a group of ass-kicking, demon-hunting nuns with a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes that basically nobody has seen? Yeah, we thought so. It’s called Warrior Nun, and if it isn’t in your queue by the end of this article, well, then we just haven’t done our jobs. Based on a comic book story and created by Simon Barry, the show follows a teenage girl named Ava (Alba Baptista) who wakes up in a morgue to discover a glowing holy relic has been fused to her spine. She trades in a pretty grim existence in an orphanage for a secret Catholic order of divinely-ordained brawlers, women who have trained and fought for centuries in the shadows to keep the modern world safe. When Warrior Nun first dropped on Netflix in 2020, critics called it one of the most brutal, genuinely moving genre shows on the platform (basically Buffy but with sharper takes on faith, queerness, and what it means to own your own existence).
