2022 isn’t over yet, which means that Netflix still has time to drop some surprise hits on us between now and the end of the year. That said, certain things about the success of the streamer’s 2022 release slate are already plain to see — especially when it comes to which Netflix series, like the long-awaited second season of Warrior NunThis drew the most enthusiastic and strong response from viewers.
For example, Warrior Nun Season 2 has landed in a very exclusive category: Specifically, it’s one of just three Netflix series from 2022 that, as of this writing, are all still hanging on to perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores.
Warrior Nun Season 2: Audience response
While I am typing these words, the fans still wait anxiously for news about whether or not there will be action. Warrior Nun series — starring Alba Baptista as an orphan who joins an order of demon-fighting warrior nuns — will get a third season renewal. Thanks to the show’s hardcore fanbase, though, you can’t help but feel like Netflix would be crazy not to give it at least one more batch of episodes.
That’s partly because of what you see when you take a closer look at The data for Rotten Tomatoes This YA series is a fan favorite.
Warrior Nun’s 100% score comes from the collective of critics who’ve individually reviewed the series — the show’s Rotten Tomatoes page lists a total of nine of those. The audience score, on the other hand, currently stands at 99% — but it’s based on feedback from More than 5,900 Rotten Tomatoes users.
Roten Tomatoes users rave about new seasons, just like this Roten Tomatoes user. “was an absolute masterpiece. The fighting scenes, the character growth in multiple characters, the romance, the sisterhood, the acting, EVERYTHING.”
This is based on an unofficial calculation. Warrior Nun’s Rotten Tomatoes may even be one of the most popular Netflix shows. Everyday.

Warrior Nun, however, isn’t the only Netflix series from 2022 to still enjoy a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. This distinction is also shared by two other series. HeartstopperAnd Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Beyond these three series, you’ll still, of course, find plenty of other Netflix series released throughout this year that still enjoy strong Rotten Tomatoes scores of 90% or above.
