Warrior Nun | Review


Just recently finished watching an American web series WARRIOR NUN based on the comic book character “Warrior Nun- Areala” by Ben Dunn. This show revolves around fantasy, drama and supernatural things. This show stars Alba Baptista, Thekla Reuten, Tristan Ulloa, Toya Turner, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri and created by Simon Barry.

It’s a Netflix Original series which tells us the story about a 19-year old girl Ava Silva, a Tetraplegic orphan who discovers she now has supernatural powers which force her to join an ancient order of warrior nuns.

*Tetraplegic – also known as Quadriplegia, is paralysis caused by illness or injury that results in the partial or total loss of use of all four limbs and torso. It does not affect the arms.


The episodes of the show are all named according to the Holy Bible verses, for example ‘Psalm 46:5’. Warrior nun follows an old, secluded morgue and a dead body of a 19 yr old girl named Ava. Her dead body was brought from an orphanage to the morgue by one of the orphanage staff. However, a mad series of events at the morgue happens to leave an ancient holy artifact, the “Halo” of the Angel Adriel, embedded in her back, bringing her back to life with a whole lot of super natural powers. 


After finding a new found friendship with a crew of young criminal mansion-crashers led by JC(Emilio Sakraya), Ava is eventually tracked down by the Order of Cruciford Sword, the Vatican’s society of devout women dedicated to fighting demons who have passed the Halo down from the leader since the Crusades. Being torn between fun with her friends and fulfilling the ancient heaven sent destiny, she finds herself at the center of a tug of war between the demon and the divine. The show ends with a cliffhanger for which I hope for a season 2. *fingers crossed*


The characters of the show define themselves as the strongest characters. Ava played by Alba Baptista in the first episode “Psalm 46:5”, gets resurrected from the dead, simply runs on the beach, feeling sensation in her limbs and an ocean breeze on her skin for the first time in years. She plays the full emotional, disbelief to sheer joy to overwhelming intensity and beyond, across her facial expressions. Sister Lilith played by Lorena Andrea, the rage-driven Canoness who was supposed to be next in line to bear the Halo. Shotgun Mary played by Toya Turner, the order’s renegade member whose mother is serving life imprisonment for the crime of defending herself as ‘Black’.

Hospital Playlist | Review | SpillBoard

  Korean dramas currently are at the apex of their industry. Encroaching upon new grounds, these captivating series have made its way to the U.S., mostly through Netflix. I personally love numerous Korean dramas on Netflix as well; from the recent “Crash Landing on You” to “Love Alarm” back in 2017, I’ve watched a handful of dramas to call myself a fan. Recently, I’ve been watching one that took a quite different approach to its story plot: “Hospital Playlist.” Released in March 2020, “Hospital Playlist” made its way to being one of the most-watched Korean dramas in South Korea. Just in the first episode, we are introduced to five friends who knew each other since the start of medical school. As a Korean medical school consists of 6-years, including college and medical school, they practically have known each other for almost 20-years. Kim Joon-Wan (played by Jung Kyoung-Ho), a cardiothoracic surgeon, is caring to the patients and his friends while insensitive to the residents...

LOOTCASE | Review

A bag full of money seems to be the end of all troubles. Right!? Well, that isn’t the case for Nandan Kumar (Kunal Khemu) of Disney+ Hotstar’s new release, LOOTCASE . When Nandan stumbles upon a bag full of Rs 10 Crores in the middle of the night, his sanskaar tells him to return the bag to its original owner. So, he (in a hushed tone) says, “ Last time puchh raha hoon, kiska bag hai? ” Since nobody can hear him, he has no option but to take the bag home and spend all the money in it. Oh! What a task! But what seemed to be the end of all his struggles actually ends up becoming one. His beloved bag, that he names ‘ Anand Petikar’ (or Joy Bagman) isn’t really easy to hide. Spending the entire amount together is not really an easy task. He dreams of buying a luxurious flat, but then nobody really takes ₹4 Crores in cash. So, Nandan decides to take out small portions of the money, wraps it and hides it safely in various corners of his home. But for a man living in a chawl in Mumbai, find...
