Opérations spéciales : Lioness

I've put off watching this for a while and after finally catching up it's been utterly brilliant. Seems that some are not so keen which I don't understand. A powerful group of woman doing an incredibly difficult job at great personal expense. Can't wait to watch Season 2 which seems to have had much better reviews. Zoe Saldana as ever is outstanding especially when balancing her work and personal life but the big reveal is Oliveira. Her rage seeps through the entire show making her such a captivating character. I can't wait to see what she does next. Hopefully this will be renewed for Season 3!

Why, why do they always insist on having one teen character who is continuously angry and acts irrationally? It has *never* done any TV show any good. Zoe Saldana's daughter is full-on stereotype, all the sorry-arse angry teenager tropes bundled in one character. One minute you are watching a show about secret operatives in the Middle East, the next you are subjected to never-ending scenes of family turmoil caused by one selfish teenager that *no one in the world cares about*.

My advice: fast forward all the scenes where she appears. They add absolutely nothing - zip - nada - zilch to the storyline. Skipping them will do wonders for your blood pressure.

Well what can I say?

Just binged both seasons back-to-back, and you're in for a treat! "Lioness" is a gripping blend of action, drama, and emotional depth. The storytelling is sharp, and the characters are complex, drawing you into their world of high-stakes missions and personal struggles. With incredible performances and intense pacing, it's a must-watch that keeps you on edge throughout!

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Taylor Sheridan and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

This has just enough personal story lines to raise it above the level of the garden variety action picture. I find Zoe Saldana's character a bit one dimensional and the uber macho overcompensation gets old, as does the constant dropping of the f bomb. I'm not a prude, but using it like punctuation gets irritating. Nicole Kidman was an interesting choice and she pulls off the American accent pretty well, although she's clearly struggling with it. And what on earth have the make-up people done with her eyebrows?! It was very distracting. Michael Kelly is always hits it out of the park and this was no exception. Definitely worth a watch both for the adrenalin fueled action and the compelling storyline.

I loved the cast and very entertaining story and plots. I was rather disappointed with so much macho testosterone there was no gay romance, yet there was plenty of contrived lesbian romance. I'm not complaint, just seemed lop sided. I think this show was made for straight dudes with that kind of fantasy. But still I liked it a lot.

I was so glad season 2 had most of the cast come back especially.the character of Cruz. My only critique is that the husband Neal's surgery drama stories although were there, seemed pushed aside in season 2. I don't wanna give spoilers But gotta be honest his situations at the hospital were pretty intense emotionally. Like gut wrenching.
