Lioness (2023– )
8/10
Low Expectation Meets High Accomplishment
26 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
At first, my expectations were very low because of Marvel's alumni attached to it. Then the trailer dropped and it mentioned from Yellowstone producers. I didn't even bother to research who made the story and so on.

Then came the first episode, looked like a frama featuring Zoe Saldana as a career CIA military team leader, balancing life and career. The new recruit was a great character for any newly found actor seeking credit on her CV. Then Nicole Kidman popped in like a cameo, and I started to want to know more.

The second episode was explosive, IMHO. Showcasing determination and wild military boys and girls outside their natural environment.

Taylor Sharidan certainly knows how to create characters that will attract red blooded audiences. There's always an extreme dramatic tension with his story, this one has some by the first 2 episodes already.

I do think the sex scene is unnecessary, but the directors and camera guys smartly capture it without being exploitatively vulgar. Then again, if 1 of the producers is in the sex scene, any screw up will cost their jobs.

So based on 2 episodes, Lioness is marking its presentlce as soldiers going back to old value of being soldiers, with all the naughty and niceness.
