What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though Warrior Nun's heavy handed set-up weighs it down, committed performances and excellent fight choreography may be enough for those looking for more pulp with their pulpit.

Baptista makes a charming naif, but Ava's teen-diary narration grates. Go to Full Review Stuart Heritage Guardian Jul 13, 2020
When it picks up a full head of steam, as it does in the final couple of episodes during a mission to the Vatican, you can easily see Warrior Nun running and running. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Jul 13, 2020

Ava is different and proof that we can go against the grain when it comes to stereotypes and tropes that we’re used to when it comes to the female chosen hero. Go to Full Review Shah Shahid Comic Years Nov 18, 2020
But after seeing Warrior Nun, I wish it was edgier and dared to offend, instead of playing it safe with a bland story that seemingly goes nowhere. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ba J @BaJas Jun 19, 2026 Not sure where the positive reviews come from, but it's a chaotic, inconsistent mess in every respect: dialogs, character development, plot. See more Marco L @decatur555 Mar 4, 2026 An energetic blend of pulp fantasy, religious intrigue and character-driven drama. Warrior Nun benefits from striking Spanish locations, solid action sequences and Alba Baptista’s charismatic lead performance. Not groundbreaking, but stylish, engaging and surprisingly thoughtful beneath its genre surface. See more K T @Cinemasad Feb 15, 2026 What horrific slop and awful casting See more KerryWhite's S @KerryWhite77 Feb 3, 2025 Rating: 8/10. 85/100 See more Lennart U @RT64756072 Nov 23, 2024 The show is an interesting idea and well-executed. If you like this type of show, then watch it! Awesome characters, rich lore, and great action scenes. See more William E @RT34846931 Sep 18, 2024 I started watching this purely because it sounded so bonkers but I was genuinely surprised in a good way. It just worked Alba was superb and so were many of the other actors the first series really captured my attention and respect. I was so impatient for more. See more Read all reviews
