The Warrior Nun (serial)

A fantasy series based on a comic book of the same name. Set in Spain (although no one speaks Spanish), an orphan quadriplegic girl (Ava) wakes up in the morgue having been given a device of great power (and hence new life). Turns out that this is her initiation into the Order of the Cruciform Sword, a secret order of nuns who battle demons on a regular basis. Ava is, however, a bit of a skeptic and so tries to use logic and science to rationalize her new station in life. At the same time, she is working to find new friends and enjoy her second chance, and fight demons. The series is a strange mix of comic fantasy and church history/reverence. And it definitely dabbles in the world of conspiracy and occult that we have seen from the likes of Dan Brown with DaVinci Code or J.J. Abrams in Alias. And while it could have tipped into several different tropes (and become very bad), it didn't. I suppose this should not be a surprise coming from Simon Barry, who also produced Continuum, which is a really good SciFi serial from a few years ago.
