Or you can watch the second season of “Warrior Nun”
I don’t think I am making a spoiler with this one – a corrupt Vatican whodah thought!
Now I don’t pretend that this is any high brow intellectually stimulating show, but it has b#tch fights, attractive ladies and has an excellent action-adventure story. What’s not to like! It even has a Pope with a strong moral fibre. I know, I was surprised myself!
The first season was very slow but the second rockets along , with complex and nuanced women leads, and a bisexual love story which underpins the whole story. Yep! Kissing Nuns! This was a welcome change (rocketing along not the kissing Nuns), and we had a light and easy fun weekend binge with it.
I know from previous comments it is not everyone’s cup of tea but we needed to just chill with a block of chocolate and bubbly or three, watching the five kittens (we have found a home for one) romp around the living room while we watched the “box”.
Those of you who watched the first season with its cliffhanger ending will be a little frustrated. How the confrontation with Adriel plays out or how the sisters managed to escape is never explained. In fact it is totally ignored. This was awkward for me because I wasn’t sure what was going on and if we were watching an out of sequence scene or not. Once I got over this, things started to make sense. SWMBO took more time to adjust but by the end of the second episode was enjoying it as well.
The biblical references that form the name of each episode are interesting as they link cryptically quite well with that episodes story line and do help with the understanding of what is going on. Can be a slight spoiler as a result though.
If you want a weekend binge without a lot of intellectual stimulus then I highly recommend it. Not as good as the comics but well worth a look. Available in Oz on Netflix.
I enjoyed the second season, especially Lillith as a demon.
I keep seeing that as a recommended movie on Netflix, but I just can’t bring myself to watch it, maybe once the winter sets in hard.
Naked shoulders! Very racy! Does this qualify as a Nunsploitation series?
Regards, Chris.
Hardly want Nun doesn’t like shooting, and sword fighting demons and their rooms that I’ve seen are so small they need to share a bed!
I remember I went through first season half asleep… I was kind of interested on the thing, since I had some of the comics in my early youth… It was pretty hardcore for a comic made in Spain, at the time… Bit too Otaku for my taste… But great demon fights! Annnd titties.
My wife watched all of this but sadly I didn’t really fancy it, looked OK the little bits I saw of it though.
If I can make a recommendation though, try “Dead to Me”, I didn’t think this would be my sort of thing, but really enjoyed it it’s one of those….what can go wrong now tangled web we weave things.
Cheers Roger.
Will do.
