Female-led fantasy action series Warrior Nun focuses on The OCS (Order of the Cruciform Sword) – a group of nuns that train teenage girls to fight demons and the forces of evil.
The show, which originally debuted on the streaming platform in July 2020 and dropped its second season a little over a month ago, has built a dedicated following for its epic fight sequences, fascinating mythology and compelling character arcs. It also contains one of the best-written queer love stories on TV.
Hailed as a “textbook example of how to do a queer slow-burn romance right”, the series follows Ava Silva (Alba Baptista), a young girl who wakes up in a morgue to discover that she has come into the possession of ‘The Halo’, an artefact with resurrection-like properties.
