Warrior Nun - Netflix Review

Warrior Nun, an American fantasy drama created by Simon Barry based on a comic book character Warrior Nun Areala by Ben Dunn. The streaming television series was eventually featured in a film adaptation. This is, yet, one of my favorite Netflix shows. 

Ratings: 5 stars of 5

For those of you who love fantasy drama, supernatural powers, detective style, superhero, BL love story, Warrior Nun is for you! Without spoiling much detail, the story begins with a 19-year-old woman, Alba Baptista, who awakened in a morgue --- I won't be explaining how. But she wakes up with a new lease on life and a divine artifact embedded in her. In the show, she goes through a series of ups and downs with her new power but eventually finds herself at home, with new friends, and a girlfriend, [Sister] Beatrice to rely on. Don't worry, they are not blood-related, "sister" is a respectful way to address other Catholic church members. Although Catholicism acts as the backbone of this story, fantasy drama is a genre, and the plot is fabulous. The actors that play these characters do a phenomenal job expressing all the emotions and drama, making the show more realistic. 

I don't exactly remember how I came across this series, but I was searching for recommended movies to watch and came across this movie title and review. I found it interesting and once I began watching, I was amused at how realistic everything looked and seemed. The story expresses themes of real-life problems, heartbreaks, and love. 

However, for those who are uninterested in unfinished shows, I would not recommend them, only because season 3 has been canceled. However, building that suspense is a strategy that I love incorporating into movies, even if it is unintentional. It allows many writers to write what happens next (fanfictions) and, us, enjoy the created endings. 

Give it a go and let me know how you think of it! Please give me some recommended movies based on this movie as well!
