Lioness

"Loved the action."

"I'm conflicted. I was initially really into the first couple of episodes, then things seemed to drag a little bit but it did pick up again leading into the final episode. But the final episode felt a little rushed and then ultimately, felt anticlimactic. But still it was a decent watch, I think I wanted to like it more than I actually did. 6.5/10"

"The action and actors are great, but the storyline is a bit predictable."

"CIA thriller about the prices of stopping terrorism. Really good cast but the parts seem a little better than the whole. Kidman wasn’t bad but her appearance is so jarring it’s hard to concentrate. The wet team guys are a highlight but not in it enough. I think this would’ve been much better if I could’ve binged it instead of watching weekly. Still very much watchable and enjoyable. "

"It begins with a lioness roar and goes out with a kitten whimper. 🐾"

"While this series is good it’s not great. I feel like some of the storyline could have been omitted. I loved the action but the overall generic plot line could have been better. Although I enjoyed the show I don’t think I would watch it again."

"Nothing special, story heard and seen many times before. Main character is quite out of control to the point I found annoying with some low class demeanour (perhaps that’s the role). A bit stretched when it pertains to how Saudi women live and dress abroad vs in Saudi Arabia (not accurate at all as women cannot be in swim suits in front of men guards that are also same men guards in Saudi), a few scenes quite unheard of in the culture, a man sleeping in a women’s wing even if he’s the father when there is a wing for men and women would never walk in his underwear knowing there are women guests. So much lack of knowledge into some cultures that they did not factor when they made this show. Good connection between corruption of governments, stock market and controlling of terrorism where it benefited the governments. Felt there were scenes missing, rushed. Definitely had high expectations given some quite good actors (may I also ask, what is wrong with Nicole Kidman?!) and it definitely disappointed. "

"Spoilers here: Big Sheridan fan here. 1883 destroys me every time I watch it and I think the first season of Mayor of Kingstown is outstanding. Lioness is more cold like Sicario. The skinny is that the Lioness operation is a suicide mission. Infiltrate to take out a big target. I dig the government infighting and special ops missions. I’m not an expert in realism on the topics but I enjoyed this mission."

"This was an awesome show! I need a second season NOW!"

"Yes. The return of the feeling I got when I first watched Homeland. And subsequently binged-watched the first season in two days. This series is already good."
