The Warrior Nun feels in many respects like a breath of fresh air and somewhat nostalgic. The series takes some of the vibes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and takes it out of the nineties and into some maybe-religious conflict spanning worlds and millennia, but equally important, into the 2020s. Thematically the series can be seen as a continuation of a graphic novel of the same name, although it takes place about a thousand years after the events in the novel. Storywise it also has great potential with the graphic novel as a history and a future with hints of a celestial conflict on the horizon. Finally, it has good characters and a good female hero. Remarkably, almost all main characters are female which is a change from the many almost-all male casts with the odd female sprinkled in, and they are mostly good or at least ok. No real stinker in the bunch (although I must say, that a series like this does not really require masterful character actors). So, in all, good series for the YA and those who are that in spirit. I am one of those older ones and I liked it a lot.
So, what does Netflix do? The cancel it after the second season on a cliffhanger. Grave mistake. Maybe they did not get the instant hit they had envisioned and most of all not the instant riches they were craving for. - Or was it the religious theme and the homosexual hero? Some fire on the service line, hm? - Or did the all female cast see the potential of what they were doing and actually wanted to get paid after S2? The nerve! - In the end, we won't know what made them cancel the series. It is a shame however, seeing what gets continued and greenlit instead. A well. Another chance lost.
