Infinite Shadows

Citadel, Amazon Prime Video's latest action thriller, continues to gain momentum with its fast-paced action and engaging storyline. The third episode of the show follows Nadia and Mason, who struggle with their relationship and their team's efforts to prevent Dahlia from accessing Citadel's computer system. The episode takes a trip down memory lane, where Nadia and Mason are agents in the past, competing against each other on rescue missions. However, they later become allies and work together. In the present time, Dahlia captures Bernard to access Citadel's AI system, but he doesn't give them the password. Dahlia brings in Anders, a cruel enforcer played by Roland Møller, to get the necessary information. Bernard tells Anders that his wife, whom he believed was dead, is alive. To save himself, he suggests taking Anders to his wife. Nadia and Mason hide out in Spain, discussing their situation. Nadia advises Mason to go home to his family, but he refuses and asks her to train him to protect them. Meanwhile, he meets a crime boss in Morocco who questions Nadia's loyalty. When Mason confronts Nadia, she denies the accusations, but their relationship becomes uncertain. Infinite Shadows is a spy thriller that follows the story of Nadia, a woman suspected of betraying Citadel, and her relationship with Abby. The plot is predictable and predictable, with the characters being stereotypical spies rather than fleshed-out human beings. The romance between Nadia and Mason feels like it was shown on fast forward, and the camera's swiveling over 180 degrees feels awkward and misplaced. Despite these criticisms, the show is enjoyable due to its crisp and tightly edited episodes, which keep the viewer interested. The polished actors, including Chopra and Tucci, brave impossible situations, making it a pleasing watch. Despite the criticisms, the show's average pace and polished performances make it a satisfying watch. Overall, Infinite Shadows is a standard spy thriller that offers a satisfying watch with its twists and turns.

I mean the story is completely boring but that's not my problem about this series. I often read how incredibly expensive the series is. But when you look at the animations it looks like a fan made series. Where the hell did they spend the money on?!

In the first two episodes the animations sometimes looked a bit off and you could visibly see the immense use of green screens. But in episode 3 the whole sequence on this mountain is a complete disgrace.

Yesterday I looked at the reviews but considered to give it a chance. But that was definitly the last episode I have watched.

They should give the money to a good writer instead...

Now the main characters have been established, some of them have got their memory back. You have a main outline of the plot.

The third episode plays around with known facts, even subverting some of the characters.

Bernard Orlick has been caught by Manticore and is being tortured by Dahlia Archer's expert interrogators. Bernard is in for a lot of pain.

For Mason and Nadia it is all about trust. Something that spins though their first meeting in a mission some years earlier. Only Mason learns that someone deep inside the Citadel betrayed them to Manticore.

A big hint as to not everyone is who them seem is. When Bernard's wife Joe asks Abby just how she and Mason got together. The answer was just a bit too neat and unconvincing.

Citadel still look expensive and slick. That is a big plus point as it aims for James Bind style action sequences. The plot is very much seen it all before.

It's finding its way more and more, for sure. Mr madden and ms Chopra are getting into their own, as well as Tucci, and some good and bad guys are getting less and less one dimensional.

I'm not letting myself get distracted by the mission impossible-esque action (i like that and James Bond has always been a favourite of mine, what's not to like?!), though the Russo dudes might consider getting a bit less over the top. But again, don't do it on my part. For now I'm mainly interested where the story is heading, on the one hand a lot is happening, but it feels the pacing is of somehow for now...

I'm staying on this ride though, seems the way is up...

There is a lot to like about the show, but they are completely undermined by the bad writing and moronic tech.

Filmmakers, please stop with the monitors that are clear (and holographic displays). No one would use them because you wouldn't be able to see the images and data. Dumb.

Even more idiotic is tech that appears out of thin air. It was stupid when the Batmobile shields came from nowhere in 89, and just as stupid now when the Avengers' suits magically expand from nowhere.

Oh, and what kind of dark operative sloppily interrogates an agent in their own home including noisy torture?

The creators are too busy with "cool" but dumb scenes to come up with anything intelligent and interesting to engage us.
