The story centers on Ava Silva (Baptista), a quadriplegic orphan who was left to fend for herself in an orphanage in Spain and given a divine second chance: to wear the halo of the Warrior Nun of the Order of the Cruciform Sword and fight in the name of the Catholic Church. At first, she refuses to accept such a responsibility and just wants to live on her own terms, but eventually accepts this heavy title.

The new episodes of the series present us with a much more mature Ava, although without losing her sense of humor, and facing despair at the rise of a false god, the angel Adriel. The mission of the young woman and her colleagues will be to put an end to this being from another dimension who threatens to bring down the Catholic institution and could end the world by creating his own base of parishioners called Primogenitos.
warrior nun is a television fiction that marks a noticeable distance from its source material, whose protagonist takes on a more sensual aspect to the male gaze in graphic novels. For his part, creator Simon Barry chooses to load large references to real Catholicism, from the unexpected appearance of an innocent savior (Ava) to cinematography with elements closely related to religion (the crosses and the crown of thorns have key plot roles).

Its charm lies in the way it cautiously approaches Catholic beliefs without leaving behind fantastic resources and a high degree of violent content. At the same time, it is impressive to see a group of nuns fight with martial skills and use weapons to save their lives in every battle. Although she is the only one who has not taken Catholic vows, Ava also functions as an extension of God, this deity we do not yet fully understand.

The six-part English series produced by Steven Moffat's company ("Sherlock") is a mix of suspense, terror and visions where a minor is the key to this story.
Barry's inspiration is also drawn from current issues in society. We find, in many cases, the loss of faith due to the evil faces of the Catholic Church or the misrepresentation of historical facts such as the story of Areala, the first warrior nun who gave her life to fight in the Crusades. Even the Order of the Cruciform Sword lose faith at some point in Adriel's overwhelming power and control over humanity.

Another point in favor is how well it managed to resonate with audiences. LGBTQ + painstakingly developing a romantic bond between Ava and Beatrice, her most inseparable colleague in the order. This narrative decision allows us to include a topic that has indeed caused unease for centuries in the Catholic Church: same-sex love. Despite this, the characters around them never reject them and understand that anyone can fall in love with the warrior nun – born here as an openly bisexual protagonist –.
